Homemade "baker's twine" (my first try)
sentiment from www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com
printed paper I made (directions on "how to" is an older post on my blog

Finally A Card!!!!

Hello my bloggy friends,After what seems like forever, I was finally able to make a card. Today was my day off, no appointments to go to, nothing pressing had to be done, so cardmaking I did!!! I like the way this one turned out. Actually, I was making a birthday card with bright vibrant colors, for one of my grandsons, then I remembered I wanted to make a card for the www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com challenge for this week. I love the bible verse that there using, love their blog,  and haven't entered a card in a challenge for a looong time. So "drum roll" please.....

Here is my recipe:
Spellbinders Scalloped Rectangles
A cream crocheted flower I made (with a pearl in the middle)
Cotton lace from my stash
Handmade ribbon from my GREAT friend Karen at http://karen-mycuprunnethover.blogspot.com Thank you sooo much Karen!!
Paper from Colorbok (Walmart)
Butterfly from Fashion Accessories (I think I purchased them at Walmart also)
Bible verse is from wordartwednesday for this weeks challenge.

I love this verse! It really hits home right now, since I am waiting to hear about a job I interviewed for that would be alot closer to home. I get anxious about changing jobs (AT MY AGE) and I need to be reminded, to just be still, listen, and know that God is in control. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs, Dawn

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to all my crafty friends... a couple of my resolutions for the year is to post more on my blog and try to enter some challenges!!!Today I wanted to share with you a card I made for my sweet mother-in- law, back in November for her 79th birthday. I love the way it turned out. The inside says, "your vintage"! I used the Country Life cartridge (I love this cartridge) for the sewing machine and a cut from Lacy Labels to put my hand written sentiment on. The buttons are from my grandmothers buttons box. The paper and ribbon are from my stash. I punched a scalloped edge and added some pearls. I really love the way it turned out. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

I just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my fellow bloggers and especially to my friends that follow me!!!! I hope your day is merry and bright...Everyone be safe, have fun, and remember that JESUS is the reason for this wonderful season. Happy Birthday Jesus! In closing I am posting one of the Christmas cards I made for this year. I still need alot of practice on my embossing skills. HaHa!  Mary from CardzTV made a card similar to this one. Thanks to Mary for your inspiration. OH, and I have discovered Dazzling Diamonds from SU, and I think I am in love. The picture doesn't do it justice. Thanks for stopping by....
