Light of my Life!

Good Morning!
 It's the last day of the month and you know what that means! Yep Crafter's of Faith share what they've been up to! This month the lovely Carolina is our hostess! 
This is her challenge:
1. Try to use a lighthouse in your project or something that represents LIGHT in your world/life.
2. Use at least two different scrap of designer paper.
3. Since the theme is light use some bling on your card/project.
I didn't own a lighthouse stamp so I jumped on ebay and found this awesome Inkadinka do stamp. I absolutely LOVE it! I used SU ink and blender pens to color this scene! My sentiment is from a Verve set but I don't know which one! The paper is SU scraps! EEEEK I totally forgot the bling )0= The light house depicts the light of my life... My Lord and savior! I think the sentiment is perfectly paired with this awesome image! Be sure and check the rest of the COF girls... you can find their links on my sidebar! Have a super awesome weekend!

Happy Retirement!

Good Morning!
I have a cute little invitation to share today! My friend's husband is retiring after 33 yrs at one of our local mines. She need an invitation designed for the retirement party! This is what I came up with... not having any stamps mine related is opted for clip art! It worked perfectly paired with it's a date from SU! The clip art was already colored so I simply ran several off on my printer and mounted it on card stock. No embellies makes it easy to mail out several of these! That's if for me today!

OH Baby!

Good Morning!
I hope all is well in your neck of the world! I thought I would share the card I gave my niece with that cute motorcycle diaper cake! This card was inspired by my sweet friend Mary Ann's card! The banner is what got my mojo goin! I used the same KOM from Unity that Mary Ann used called heard from the soul.  My card base is bashful blue layered with certainly celery and whisper white! Th dp is from a mat stack called animal crackers. 





The sentiment on the inside is from SU occasional quotes! That's it for me today! I have to take my X~DIL for a mammogram today. Please keep her in your prayers!

Twisted Tuesday DT Call...

Good Evening!
I mentioned yesterday that there is a new challenge blog in town! Twisted Tuesday is having a DT call!

This is what the lovely Melina is asking for:

 The Challenge: Make your project with Pastel/Spring colors but incorporate black somewhere on your creation.
The Twist: (what you thought incorporating black was the twist? Ummm, NO. We get really "twisty" here at 2TC. *giggle*) Your creation must be square (no standard size A2 cards).




This was a really fun card to create! I know when people ask for pastels you think of babies or springtime cards! Well I thought of this fun image from Art Impressions! Meet Eunice! Doesn't she just look fab in her paisley blouse? The baubles on her ears and matching sunglasses totally complete this perfect outfit! I teamed this fun image with a sentiment from Creative Clear Stamps, you are old when....





The inside completes the sentiment! Did you notice how big the font is on the sentiment? Must be for those older peeps birthdays! {snicker,snicker}! 
Hope this fits the bill for Melina's requirements! 
Have a super great evening!
