Easter's on it's way...

Hey there crafty friends! 

 Today, I'm sharing inspiration for a new challenge at the Double D Challenge Blog.

Easter/Church/Cross is the topic with this mood board inspiration...

With Easter a few weeks away, this was a great opportunity to make Easter cards for family.

 Happy Easter

The second photo of the church spoke to me.  I have so many wonderful memories of Easter Sunday with all of us kids dressed in our Easter finery as we head to church.  I thought the pretty green, grassy DP was a good one for this card. The window was cut from cardstock that was embossed first with a woodgrain embossing folder.  I inked the embossed design with distress ink to make the detail stand out.  Vellum worked as the glass and I added some lilies behind it.  I didn't have any Easter lily images, so I used Calla lily stickers that I had on hand. The sentiment is stamped and die cut with a couple of pearls to embellish.

You are more valuable...

 Good morning crafty friends!

I recently participated in a free  faith art journaling workshop on Facebook with the Blooming In Faith group.  There are several workshops offered from March 10-24th, but I was most interested in Jessica Mikels journal page workshop. 

Jessica's journal page

 

I loved the scripture and was excited to participate.  All images are free to download and fussy cut for the page.

I pulled out my supplies, fussy cut my images and played along.

I changed up my background by using two different stamp sets in my stash, added some stencil butter and a few other changes.  There is stamping, stenciling, smooshing, paste, fussy cutting and a some other MM techniques on my page.  I so am happy with the results!

Just A Note

 Hey crafty friends!

 

Today I made time to create a card for several challenges with green as the requested theme.  It seems to be a major topic with St. Patrick's Day being celebrated this month.

 

just a note 

I went with a two tone card strictly green and gold.  The shamrock and clover dies are older dies that I never use except this time of year.  The background vine is also from years ago.  I should make more use of them because they're both great filler dies for any cluster with foliage and flowers.

I'm also sharing a tag I made for a color challenge requiring shades of green, gold and pink.  I love how this turned out with the bright fuchsia flower popping off the background color.

Open A Book!

 Welcome back crafty friends!

 

I'm happy to be through the month of February and sharing a project for the first challenge in March at the Double D.  The theme is "Books, Bookmarks and/or Postal, Postage" and hosted by Team Diane with additional inspiration from Team Darlene.  This topic leaves a wide range of interpretation with the pictured mood board.  If you love to read, write or enjoy pretty florals, then this will be the challenge for you!

 

 

There's also a prize being offered to one entry chosen by random draw.  These would be perfect for creating beautiful bookmarks!

I was inspired by the stack of vintage books in the first photo...

 

"think of all the books left to read!"
 

I love the romantic, vintage feel of the first photo from the delicate roses on top of the books to the lacy trim hanging over the side of the stack.  This open book card front was created with an older die cut in my stash.  There are four layers to the book although I used only three of them.  The base is a "leather-like" specialty paper that I think makes a great book cover.  The DP paper was my choice because it has the typed print format like a regular book and I inked all of the edges to enhance the vintage feel.  I sketched a line down the center to show separation of the pages and adhered a mulberry rose at the top of the page.  The bookmark has the same specialty paper base, is topped with a stamped sentiment and inked around the edges.  I added a piece of vintage ribbon to it also.
