Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the second hop for the month of April.

Serendipity Stamps is giving away a $20 certificate to one

random commenter.

I used the Wedded Bliss Cling Set for my card today.

Something about how wonderfully a rubber stamp ...stamps!

I love the simplicity of this fun stamp set!

I know my picture looks almost black and white but it's not, just bad lighting for a stone and white card.

On the bouquet I added some buttercream jewels from Pretty Pink Posh and used Stitched Notes for the center panel.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Stitched Mother's Day Blooms

Make it Monday #318: Simple Stitched Stems

with: Michelle Leone. Michelle has her first video for Make it Monday and did a fantastic job!

Happy Monday to you! I hope your weekend was wonderful!

We enjoyed a beautiful weekend... kids baseball game, dinner and movie with some of the grandkids.

Went to brunch ( sat outside to enjoy the beautiful mountain view) on Sunday after Mass with my guy.

We spent the rest of the beautiful sunny day relaxing... just the two of us. It's been very busy these past few weeks.

It's the little things and time with family that means the most to me.

I used: Papertrey Ink - Basic Bookmark, Simple Stems Stamp

Set and Bitty Big: Soft Stone Color Collection patterned paper .

I pierced the stamped stem then did my stitching and added a few

glass beads to the leaves. The back of the bookmark is covered with vellum to hide the stitching if used as a bookmark.

Thank you so much for the visit!

God bless!

Red and White

Merry Monday #284 {Red and White!}

Hello! Happy Weekend to you all!

I love red and white... so I just had to play along in this challenge.

I used my Snow Bunny stamp from Serendipity Stamps and sentiment is from Papertrey Ink .

I heat embossed with some 25 year old embossing powder as I couldn't find my new one.

Hope you have a great day!

Make it Monday #317: Using Outline Images

with Stephanie Gold

Hello there! I have a quick card this morning for Papertrey Ink

Make It Monday and:

Simon Says: Happy Birthday!

Happy 9th Birthday to Simon Says Stamp!

For my card today I used the :Make It Market Mini Kit: Still Life: Summer and :Pen & Ink Stamp Set .

When I stamped the outline in black it was a little bold as this outline is a bit thicker than most. I know the peach doesn't really go with all the lemons and limes but it was already stamped and it seemed to help ground the card.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Welcome to Sabrina: our new guest designer for the month.

I stamped the basket image onto watercolor cardstock then watercolored it in with my

Zig brush pens. I fussy cut the image out and used foam tape to pop it up.

March 12 Kits of Occasions

Hello and welcome to the March 12 Kits of Occasions

I know I say it almost every month : where did March go!!!!

Jessica was our host for the month of March .

She sent us so many things that are new to me,

along with such pretty papers.

I needed a few shaker cards so I made both of these,

using different patterned paper, backgrounds.

I added my own sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh.

I added another envelope liner so that I could use more of the pretty patterned paper . I used my envelope liner from Wplus9 then added

a few wiggle eyes. The scalloped edge is from Serendipity Stamps

by pretty pink posh.

To get a full list of supplies and to see all 12 of the designers cards, please go to the: 12 Kits of Occasions Blog

Thanks so much for the visit today !

One last card for Make it Monday.

Gina K Design : Wreath Builder Fun

happy-national-craft-month

Simon Says: Inside The Box

Hello and Happy Monday to you!

I was blessed to share a beautiful weekend with my family in

Palm Springs. It was a thankful weekend that my daughter and her husband( Tom & Nicole) put together,thanking us for helping them after the Vegas massacre.( like any of us would have done anything else :)) Its was fun and emotional....its just the way it's going to be .

Happy Birthday Nicole! On this day I became a mother because of you.

I coud not wait to use my Gina K Design Wreath Builder set and my Simon Says Stamp March Kit!

So I made some time for paper today.

I wanted to do something a little different with the wreath builder

set so I took the little gingham stamp from the March Kit and stamped it making a full turn then went around agin doing the same thing. Then I used my Papertrey Ink stamp, to stamp my sentiment making a square frame using the same wreath builder.

Thanks for the visit!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop with Simple Stems

Hi there, Happy Sunday!

March 2018 Blog Hop

Papertrey Ink

Lucy, found a ball of yarn and decided to have some fun.

(I posted on Instagram,the other day.. for national puppy day)

marybethstimeforpaper

Here is my take on the beautiful inspiration photo, I added some blue to my card with Jewel bling.

I die-cut the vase , raised my panel with fun foam. I shaded a piece of paper with brown inks then placed it behind the raised panel.

When I saw Betsy use this Simple Stems set from Papertrey Ink I knew I had to have it. I have to admit I did spend quite a bit of time on this card, more then normal. Enjoy the hop!

Thanks for the visit. God bless!
