CCEEC and BVC08 Everlasting Life

Hey you all!!!

Today has been a very cloudy and rainy day - perfect stamping weather - LOL!!!

My friend Denise aka *peanutbee* made me aware of this fabulous blog. Some super duper talented ladies are running the show and believe it or not I had no idea that this blog existed - you can find out more right here. Thank you Denise for stirring me in the right direction - you are the best - LOL !!!

Today's challenge is to create a card using only *Brown & Black* - wow - I wasn't sure about that comb, but now after putting this card together I'm so happy that I gave it a try - I really, really like it!!!

Remember I was telling you about the Bible Verse Challenge (BVC08) over on SCS??? Well - I was always behind on the Challenge and now thank goodness I'm one moth ahead....I combined the Challenges and I have used this fabulous Bible Verse from John 3:16 reading.....

For God so Loved the World He Gave His Only Son that whoever Believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life.

Isn't that a beautiful Verse??? I have found this Stamp at *Cornish Heritage Farms*.

For this card I have started out with a Whisper White base and layered it with Basic Black and Chocolate Chip CS. Next I have stamped the *Stitched BG* Stamp with Chocolate Chip and layered it with Basic Black CS. This layer was raised with Stampin Dimensionals.
Then I have cut a smaller panel with Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. I have added a Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon onto the panel and adhered it across the card.

Next I have stamped the Bible Verse with Chocolate Chip and layered it onto a Basic Black Nestie - I've also raised it with Stampin Dimensionals. To finish the card off I have added some Black Medium Brads from Making Memories.

Hope you like the card and give this color combo a try!!! ~TFL~

MOJO44 Flowers

Happy Monday everyone!!!

I'm always excited when Monday comes around - I can't wait to see what Julee Tilman's has in store for us with her fabulous MOJO Monday Sketches!!!

I jumped out of bed this morning and went straight to the computer....now you know how addicted I'm - LOL!!! What I found was this awesome Sketch you can see right here.

Not only do I love Julee's Sketches I love this wonderful *Floral Whimsy* Set from her VV Store!!!
I had to make this card 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" to fit this beautiful flower image.....

I bet you are already tired of seeing the *Plum Pudding* again - sorry guy's - I'll try not to use it for the next cards - if I can - LOL!!!

I have started out with Whisper White and layered it with Plum Pudding (PTI). Next I have added another smaller Whisper White and a Apricot Appeal DP panel. The flower image was inked in Plum Pudding, Apricot Appeal, Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi and Close to Cocoa. I have made a sweet little bow on the vase with a matching purple Scrapbook Floss from Karen Foster . I have layered the image on Apricot Appeal and then on Kraft CS Nestie. This panel was raised with Stampin Dimensionals.

Next I have stamped the sentiment that is also from the *Floral Whimsy* Set with Close to Cocoa and Purely Pomegranate - it was also raised with Stampin Dimensionals.

Then I have started punching the *Photo Corners* with the SU Punch. I have used the smaller ones for this card. I have added some Silver Brads on both of the corners and also next to the main image.

I hope you will have a chance to play and ~TFL~!!!

Good Morning!!!

I'm usually not home on Sunday's, but my oldest came down with a *cold* and I'm staying home with her today.

Of course I had to get my fingers busy while she is resting....and I've decided to play along on today's Feautured Stamper. The lucky girl is Michele Kovack aka *Chelemom* and you can see all the details right here.

Michele has a gorgeous gallery full of cards and scrap pages and I have chosen to case this card right here.

I have kept the layout of the card and made some minor changes:

I have changed the colors of the card and I've used Basic Grey DP for the side panel plus Old Olive CS. I have used different Ink - Plum Pudding and a different Stamp Set - *All Holidays*. I also added some Rhinestone Brads from SU instead of the sentiment. The Ribbon was switched to a Satin Plum Pudding Ribbon from *Papertrey Ink*.

Have a great Sunday and ~TFL~!!!

OCC #3 Congrats

Here is my 2nd card for today's OCC Challenge #3.

If you have not had a chance to see what those ladies are up you can take a peak right here.

For this card I have used another gorgeous DP from *Basic Grey* called *Figgy Pudding* Glee/FIG-1003. I love striped DP - you should see my collection - LOL!!!

The layout for this card is from Beate's WSC #53 and you can see it right here. The sentiment is from the *Fundamental Phrases* Set and it was inked in Close to Cocoa. The Ribbon is the fab Old Olive Poly Twill Ribbon from SU. It was featured in the Occasions Brochure- remember you can only order it until the June, 30th!!! The flower is from *Prisma*. The large and the mini Brads are also from Basic Grey.

The card measures 6 1/2" x 6 1/2". Hope you like it???
