Trust in the Lord with all your Heart

Made this card using Our Daily Bread Designs Ornate Hearts Die Cuts & ODBD Clean Heart (the Proverbs 3:5 Scripture, Trust in the Lord) and Heart of Joy (the OXOX) stamp sets.

The four red corners were cut out using my Cricut machine.

The scripture and the oxox are stamped on with navy ink.

This week's challenge at ODBD's is to use one of two pictures for our inspiration.

This is the picture I used:

I was inspired by the green & yellow with a touch of red in the carpet and pillow in the window, along with the blue that is outside the window.

Used Dryer Sheets Flower

It's my turn to do the Inspirational post for Feeling Sketchy Challenge Blog

(I saw this on Splitcoast Stampers and really liked it.)

I am going to show how I make a flower using used dryer sheets, circle punches, spray paint, glitter glue & a brad to hold it all together.

To start, use your circle punch (it's best to try to use three different size punches if you have them...I only have two circle punches so I had to cut 4 of the bigger one and trim them down to make them smaller.)   

Punch out 6 circles on cardstock to use as your template to cut them out on the dryer sheet.

Note: Don't try punching just the dryer sheet, it does not work.  It will jam up your punch.

Use a scissors to cut around your template on the dryer sheet.

Next lay your cut out dryer sheet circles on paper towels to spray them with the paint.

Let them dry...the dryer sheets will dry a little lighter than it looks when wet.

After they are dry...lay them out on a sheet of wax paper and use your glitter glue to go around the edges of  3 of your circles.

Allow the glitter glue to dry completely.

Then stack your circles - using the biggest circle with the glitter glue on it as your bottom piece.

One glitter glue circle, on plain circle, one glitter circle, etc.

Then add a brad to the center to hold them all together, finishing your flower.

Now you have a flower to add to a card, scrapbook page, or any other project you want to.

I hope I have inspired you to try different things in your creativity!

Have fun!

Footprints

Made this card using Our Daily Bread Designs stamp Footprints.

The base of my card is a tan cardstock, layered with with brown cardstock.

I stamped the Footprints onto the same tan cardstock as my background.

I added orange & white bakers twine to the top and the bottom of the main image, also adding a bow to the top left hand side.

The challenge this week at ODBD's is a sketch.

Happy Birthday card for my daughter

I made this birthday card for my daughter Feather's birthday this month.

A lot of people get her name mixed up and call her Flower.

My daughter is very, very special to me :-)

And I wanted to make her a card that would make her smile.

I made the rose flowers using my cricut machine and the Artiste Cartridge.  I then cut the vase out using the Everyday Pop-Up Cartridge.  I drew on the green stems for the flowers using a Promarker. I added a purple bow and computer generated Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday

Made this birthday card using a green polka dot background, pink patterned paper with pink cardstock behind them for my squares, and pink cardstock for my strip across the bottom.

May's Scrapbooking Layout for Heart 2 Heart

It's time for May's scrapbooking layout at Heart 2 Heart!

It's called:  Magical May

         * 12" x 12" layout(s) showing a “magical” moment you have had in your life time.  This can be recent or something from way back in the day.
         * Create your own designed papers using CTMH stamp sets. This can be your background base pages, photo mats, layered strips, or even flags. Must be able to see the stamped design.
         * At least 1 photo required.

    Took me a while to figure out what to do for this challenge.

To me, the Ocean is magical.  So that is the theme I used for my layout.

Several years back my husband and I, along with another couple took a trip to Florida.

I was in awe when I saw the ocean for the first time ever.

The background of my LO is made with several different CTMH stamp sets, inkpads & markers.
Stamps used: Glamour Uppercase Alphabet, Dreamer, My Life, Lifting Spirits, Balloons, Shooting Star & Delicate Wings (which is a Petite Perks).
