Gratitude

Hello and happy Wednesday!  

Today I am sharing a card I created for the Viva la Verve Week  2 sketch that was created by Amy Sheffer.  

I  really had alot of fun with this sketch as it allowed me tons of opportunity for layering. I love, love cards with lots of layers.  I started with a white card base and then added several prints from the Cosmo Cricket Odds & Ends 6 x 6 pad.  I used stamps from Verve's Tag Time and Beautiful You stamp sets. See that pretty eyelet border, it is from the Spellbinders Classic Petal Edgeabilities set.  Can't live without it? You can get  it and any of the other new Spellbinders die templates at The Cat's Meow.  Run, don't walk, they are selling like hotcakes!

Well, I am off to spruce up my house a bit and get caught up on laundry.  I swear, I don't know how 3 people can dirty so many towels in one week.  Sheesh!

Grateful for Friends

Happy, happy Sunday!  I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.  I taught a fun class yesterday that I had called Spring has Sprung.......I am beginning to wonder about that one though.  LOL I really do have the nicest bunch of gals that come to my classes.  They are the best!   Late yesterday afternoon it snowed for a bit. Enough already!  Today is supposed to be sunny with some partial clouds.  Lets just go for the sunny part, okay?  The card I am sharing with you today is for last Friday's color challenge over at StampTV. Did you know that if you play along and upload a card to the gallery at StampTV you would have a chance to win some free stamps?  Good enough reason for me!   I really had fun putting this card together.  Everything just fell into place. 

I used some paper from the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl 6 x6 pad as it was perfect for the colors that Gina had chosen for us to use this week.  Love that!  I used one of my new Nesties dies too!  This die set is called Lattice Rectangles and I know I will use it over and over.  The sentiment is from the GKD Friends set.  I crocheted the flower using my flower pattern from this post.  If you make some flowers from my instructions, leave me a comment, I would love to see them.
