Another Happy Marriage

Today, I am popping in to show you another card using Our Daily Bread Designs' Happy Marriage Recipe .  This time I decided to go a bit more primitive using paper piercing and soft tones with kraft paper. 

And the set used...

I layered up the image with kraft paper ever so slightly framed by a dark navy card stock.  I nestled the panel on a kraft base.  The DP has a nice aged look to it, so I left it as is except for the paper piercing.  A bit of seam binding and a lovely Prima blossom are nestled down below.  It's super cute!  I love getting cards ready for my stash! 

 

Don't forget to pop back by Monday as Our Daily Bread Designs will have a new month of releases.  And let me just tell ya...  they are darling!  I can't wait for you to see them!  In the meantime, please have a safe and wonderful weekend!  Happy Resurrection Day!  Blessings...

Here is my card featuring Crown of Thorns..

 

 

and the set shown here...

 

 

I used a soft brown ink to stamp the image of Christ and a darker one for the sentiment.  This time I elected to put both on the same panel instead of using a die cut.  A bit of twine adds a rustic element to the card.  I chose muted tones of blue and kraft for this one.  I didn't want to detract from the powerful image and scripture.  Thanks so much for stopping by and blessings to you as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  I will sent you on to your next stop... the ever fabulous Grace...   Blessings....

Easter Treat Bags With Recycled Lunch Bags

Happy Monday to ya!  Today I have some super cute treat containers to share.  You can use card stock, designer paper or even recycled grocery bags like me!  You can even stitch the edges for added interest.  (Unfortunately my sewing machine is a little under the weather...  boo hoo...) Instead, I used a strong tape to fasten the edges. 

using Our Daily Bread Designs' Baking Tag Sentiments

I used my scalloped Spellbinder die to cut two layers of recycled lunch bags.  I then stamped my sentiments and adhered the edges with ScorTape.  Make sure to leave a tiny opening to add your goodies (in this case Jelly Beans) and then fasten your opening.  I can visualize a cookie, M&M's ALL sorts of goodies in this cutie...  Hee hee!    Voila!  Instant treat bags!  I can't wait to use up all my DP scraps with this one...  Thanks for stopping by... 

 

Until next time... 

 

Blessings...

WAW72 ~ God's Love ~

Happy Wednesday!  Today's card shows just how much I am longing for spring.  Saturday we had temps near 70 degrees.  Sunday we had 7 inches of heavy wet snow.  And Monday?  Thunderstorms...  sigh... 

 

I've always heard if you don't like the weather in Kentucky, just hang around a minute.  It's bound to change!  And let me just say, my poor little daffodils have been pummeled the last few days but they still poke their cheery faces up at me! 

 

Today I am dreaming in shades of pink...  specifically, cherry blossom pink...  After all, if the daffodils can be so cheery, why not???

So what color are you dreaming in? 

 

Until next time...  blessings...

ODBD ~ A Happy Marriage ~

Good morning!  Hope all is well with you and yours!  Today, I am sharing a March release from Our Daily Bread Designs  entitled Happy Marriage Recipe.  This little gem is perfect for shower, wedding cards and altered art.  My mind is swimming with the gifts I can make for the brides-to-be on my list. 

 

Marriage takes a great deal of work.  And it definitely takes all sorts of ingredients to make it work!  I've put up with...  ahem...  loved my hubs for almost 10 years!  (Waving wildly at ya honey!!!!)  He knows I am a handful and is oh so gracious and loving with this Type A personality.  He even knows after all this time if I get in a cleaning mood to RUN not walk to the door!  He has learned I have to have the house to myself to be productive! 

 

The last 4 months or so have been particularly trying as I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease early this year.  Even when I wasn't quite myself, John was there to pray, encourage and lend a smile.  It's the little stuff that counts.  I may be a few pounds heavier and have more snow on the roof but that doesn't matter to him.  That my friend is a keeper! 

 

So here's the card...

 

and the stamp set, Happy Marriage Recipe

 

The card base is black card stock with a matted layer of white.  I chose a designer paper specifically themed for weddings.  I framed the sentiment with a Spellbinder die, Romantic Rectangles.  I embellished the edges with pearls and added a satin black bow for interest.  Pretty simple really, but I LIKE it!  Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time...  blessings...

Shown here...

I stamped this favorite quote from CS Lewis on DP and centered on a coordinating Spellbinder Exquisite Circle die.  The papers remind me of wallpaper in an old country estate.  A bit of soft yellow crumpled seam binding adds to the feel.
