Twist of Faith - #36 - Mother's Day

One of the things that makes Tuesday such a wonderful day is that it's time for a new challenge at Twist of Faith Card Challenges!
This week our sponsor is:

Lacy Sunshine Stamps

The prize will be 4 uncolored images.  WOW!  And Lacy has some great images!!

 

So what is the theme this week you may be asking?  Well - Mothers of course!  It's our Mother's Day Challenge.  Everyone knows someone who is a mom and what mom doesn't need some encouragement.  This is a perfect time to make a card for your own mom or someone who is like a mother to you...or your daughter...or even a neighbor.  Don't forget that your card must include a scripture, uplifting quote or verse to be considered for the prize.

 

I had an embossing folder that I have never used and when I saw this Oriental digi set from Lacy Sunshine, I knew I had to use it!  This is my creation:

 

Now, create a card for a Mom and link it up so we can see your creation...and you never know - you just might be the winner! 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Blessings to you today!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Numbers Found in the Stash...

Have you ever had paper in your stash that you just didn't know what to do with and figured you would never use?  I have tons of that it seems.  One design was a bunch of numbers....I mean gee, what do you do with that?  When I saw the theme at Shopping Our Stash was numbers, well gee, I knew immediately what paper I had to use!  LOL!!!  Then I remembered a Riley stamped image I had from a swap and thought he would be perfect to use with the number paper....

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!!  Have a very blessed day!!!



Happy "TRACIE DAY"!!!!!

I told you yesterday it was a holiday today - it's TRACIE DAY!  Today is May 5th which means it's time to post a creation inspired by one of our Crafty Gal's.  This month we were CASEing Tracie.  Her blog is full of great things:  The Crafty Touch.  Yes, her blog title fits her perfectly!  I think the favorite item Tracie has is her Cricut - which is something I don't have.  But gee, after looking through her blog - I may just have to get one of those!  (Just what I need - more crafting stuff - LOL!)

 

While looking through Tracie's blog I found a card she made using the SU stamp set called Lexicon of Love.  Well gee, I just happen to have that one - so I used her stamp choice to inspire my creation.  Here's the neat though - not only is this card made in honor of Tracie in the Crafty Gal's blog group....but Monday morning it's heading out in the mail to another Crafty Gal...who sent me a little package for my markers....THANK YOU!! 

 

 

So Tracie, I hope I did you justice and that you enjoy cruising around the blogs today and seeing how you have inspired us all!!  For those of you who are not part of the Crafty Gals blog group, you can find the blog roll list to the left if you would like to check them out.

 

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!!!

 



Saturday morning in the craft room...part 3 (and last)

Last post for the day - I promise.  LOL!!!  I have several cards to share in this last post.  I would make the separate as well, but it's almost time to get ready to head to "Seven at Seven" (Saturday night prayer at church - this is the 5th week of 7 weeks).

 

First up is the color challenge at Inkspirational Challenges - Olive, Grape, and peach.  The image is one that had from a swap.  I colored it using Spectrum Noir markers.  The peach paper is embossed with Swiss Dots embossing folder.  I used sketch #15 from Freshly Made Sketches

 

 

Speaking of Freshly Made Sketches, I made this card for their current challenge #84.  I flipped it so I could use the stamp -it wouldn't fit if I didn't flip the sketch. 

 

 

I just loved this cow from Bugaboo Stamps and when I saw that there were some "Anything Goes" challenges this week - I had to use her!!!!  She's being submitted for:

 

Twisted Tuesday Challenges

Celebrate the Occasion

Our Creative Corner

 

Last, but certainly not least, is this card being submitted for Mojo Monday.

 

 

I did make a couple more cards today...but you'll have to wait for those...come back tomorrow....it's a holiday again but I bet you don't know what holiday it is???  Come back tomorrow to celebrate with us....the Crafty Gals will be celebrating! 



Saturday morning in the craft room....part 2

The next card I made was using "Let It Rain" from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  I colored the image using Spectrum Noir markers.  The background paper is from Papertrey Ink.  The ribbon I received in a swap and the other paper (peach with white polka dots) is a sheet that I had on hand - not sure where it came from.  I like the color combo of orange and purple....it's one of those that I wasn't sure it would work but once it was done I liked it.  I chose purple because the background paper has peach, purple, and green polka dots.

 

 

I'm submitting this card for the following challenges:

 

Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes

Perfect Sentiments Challenge - Make it Feminine

Created With Love Challenges - Spring

Loves Rubber Stamps Challenges - April Showers

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch #204

 

and going on to part 3.......



Saturday morning in the craft room....part 1

This morning I woke up way too early for a Saturday!  I watched a couple episodes of I Love Lucy and then headed to the craft room to see what I could ink up today....

 

I can't believe that next Sunday is Mother's Day.  Of course I need several Mother's Day cards - not only for my own mom and my mother-in-law, but also for secret sisters at church.  This card was made with random papers I had and a stamp that was given to me by my dear friend!  The flowers are a combo of several different packs and then a white brad in the center.  The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches - #7

 

I'm submitting this card for the following challenges:

 

'ABC' Challenges - Mother's Day

Get Inky! Challenge - Fabulous Floral Fun

Inky Impressions - Spots and/or Stripes

Cuttlebug Mania - One for Mum

 

Now on to post #2....
