You Are In My Thoughts

Hi There,


I made this card for a friend, who recently lost her father.  I wanted something that was somewhat vintage, & beautiful.  I think this card covers it.  I wrote a nice little message, and put it in the mail.

Your Word...Psalm 119:105

Hello,
Its a beautiful Tuesday  in the DFW area today.  The sun is shining, and it feels divine outside!  I am just taking a moment to appreciate God's beautiful handiwork! I hope that you are having a beautiful day also. I love kraft cardstock, and the colors blue, green, & brown,  I really like the way this card finished up.  There are times, I have a plan or idea, and I go with it.  But there are times I dont like the finished product.  But its all good....its Art from my Heart!  I got this lovely brown trim from the talented Martha @ Creating is Fun.  She has so many lovely embellishments in her shop, so stop by and check it out.  I am sure you will find something, you cant live without!

Chalk for a background!

Hello,

Its time for Chalk-Ah-Lot Café Challenge #4

Theme:  Use chalk as a background

For my card this week, I used a cotton ball to spread the chalk all over the black cardstock.  Then with an eraser and and a ruler, I removed some of the chalk to create my background.  This beautiful flower from Stamp N Plus Scrap N, was colored with Memento markers, and stamped on glossy cardstock.  I then took a  background stamp, and stamped on top of the flower when it was dry.

We hope that you will stop by the Chalk-Ah-Lot Café Blog to take a look at the fabulous DT inspiration, and join in this weeks challenge with us.  We would love to see what you come up with, and we have great prizes! 

* You will now be able to use any image.  But you will still need to use our chalks. *
