Welcome to the last FWF

for the month of July. 

This year is flying by, isn't it?!! 

Go to UNITY'S BLOG for

all the details of today's hop and

 links to everyone playing along.

I've had weddings on the

brain this week.  I needed

a card for my sister's

engagement party coming up

on August 4th.  My second card

goes in the mail for a wedding of

the daughter of friends of ours

that happens to be on the same day.

I stamped the circle stamp the day

before the sprays so the silver embossing

powder only stuck on in places

but I like how it turned out this way.

Sentiments O'Simple, Sing a New Song

Throughout All Generations

Guess blues are the "in" color this year.

My sister's wedding is December 29

and they are having sapphire blue

with silver accents.

The colors of the August wedding

are this dusty blue and gray.

Faith stamp set

Challenges:

 Unity's monthly challenge

to make anything wedding related.

 Crafting By Designs for

making your own embellishment.

Word Art Wednesday to use

Scripture on your project.

The border and the cross are

Spellbinders die cuts.

The embossing folder is from Sizzix

and then I sanded over the cardstock.

That's it from me this week,

have a blessed weekend!

Copics Card

I haven't been using my Copics

much lately so a challenge at

Crafting By Designs to color

using green and pink was just

the push I needed. 

This is for my mom's 80th

birthday which is Thursday.
I used CPS Sketch #274

Welcome to another April FWF.

Check out the Unity BLOG to

find the list of everyone playing along.

This card is for a friend whose 
 husband has been gone to
Kuwait and comes home in May. 

I want to let her know how much

we appreciate her sacrifice,

as well as his.

The inspiration for this card
came from 4 items that have

been laying on my table for

ages....the buckle and the

3 layers of the embellishment.
The rest of the card came
together around them.

I'm entering this card into
the Crafty Friends Challenges #2
to use 2 die cuts.

Thanks for stopping by
and have a blessed weekend!!

The stamps are from

Ornate Artisan Stackers,

Lovin' the Spellbinders!

A month or so ago I

won a bunch of Spellbinders
dies and an M-Bossabilities folder!

They arrived yesterday and I

put them right through
my die-cutter.

I was inspired by this

card by Joann over at

Sassy Raggedy.

The stamp is an itty bitty by Unity Stamp Co.

Here is a pic of the goodies!!

THANK YOU Spellbinders!!
