Thinking of You .......

Happy Friday everyone !

I am sure you have heard by now about the wonderful Jennifer McGuire

Share Handmade Kindness Challenge

It is truly an amazing, caring, thoughtful challenge !

I encourage you to find out more information here .

I know the amazing feeling of receiving something handmade , it touches your heart and brings a smile to your face . With that in mind ... how wonderful to take the time to spread more , by mailing out cards to each other , to family, to friends , to anyone that comes to mind !

I chose to start with these two cards , one is a belated birthday card for a super talented crafter named Ka , her blog is Stamping Smiles Designs .

The adorable images are from

JustME Digital Images 

from Etsy . 

I started out in my mind to create a one layer card (not my strong point ) . Well..... four cards later , as you can see it didn't work out as planned lol !

The second one is a thank you card. There are so many wonderful people that come to my mind that I would like to thank . I am hoping to get these thank you cards mailed out by tomorrow . 

Here are the insides of my cards : 

Do not be too surprised if you see one of my future cards 

having this as the design on the front .

I like the simple elegance .

That is a big deal for me ~ clean and simple cards 

are another style I need lots of practice with :) 

If you are wondering what inspired my color, image choices ,

I was inspired by this : 

Ka from Stamping Smiles Designs is having a design team call ,

if you are interested in applying you can get all of the details here . 

We are also having a design team call at 

Craftin' Desert Divas 

if you love the sequins , stamps , dies make sure to check out the requirements here,

and if you are interested, I hope you apply !! 

Thank you so much for stopping by ,

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day ! 

Autumn Wishes ~ So Grateful ....

Happy Wednesday everyone !! 

Today , I am posting on the 

Craftin' Desert Divas blog.

I created this fun fall themed shaker card . 

I used one of my favorite images ,

the sweet scarecrow girl 

from the 

Autumn Wishes Stamp Set :

I stamped my images onto watercolor paper and masked them off

 ( I colored my images after ...I learned that the hard way ).

 I then added a bit of water color to the background.

Of course if you know my cards by now , I HAVE to add a bow,lol ! 

I love the way the denim bow goes with her outfit ! 

I hope you enjoy this fun card ! 

Thank you so much for stopping by !
Have a wonderful and Blessed day !!

these cute little hedgehogs from the Lawn Fawn 

Hedgehogs Stamp Set 

I believe it is my first card with these adorable images !
