Thanks

I have quite a few new projects to share, so here we go.

I found a similar design on Pinterest and loved it so set out to make one for myself.  This was before Halloween and I wanted to use my new paper to make a card but not a Halloween card.  I loved how it turned out!  Oops, it looks like I forgot to adorn one of the flowers with a rhinestone.

The stamp set I used is Stippled Blossoms.  This set has a few 2-step stamps, meaning that you have 2 images to create one flower allowing you to stamp with 2 different colors of ink giving your flowers more color and depth and more interest.

In this case, I only wanted to use one of the images and then I heat embossed it.  To make the flower my focus I surrounded it with little flowers and embellished them with rhinestones, added pretty ribbon and added one of our wood veneer words.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Feel free to leave a comment.

Blessings.

Rustic Wedding Congratulations

Friday I went to Kansas City with my friend Chrys shopping for scrapbooking supplies.  I cannot believe that Kansas City only has one scrapbooking store now.  Everyone else has shutdown and the larger ones have only on-line shopping.  Still, we had lots of fun and we ate at my favorite restaurant Strouds.  I plan to go back sooner

Country rustic weddings are so popular now.  You will see Mason Jars used for holding candles including using them as lanterns or decorations on the tables, putting crayons in them for the kids.  Rustic wooden crates for holding cards.  Wood slats for signs saying wedding or one for the bride and groom. Wooden crates for holding cupcakes.  Tin containers for iced drinks, cutlery, flowers. Wheelbarrows for holding the gift bags.  Burlap, twine & jute for bows, flowers, wrapping, ring bearer pillow, banners and so much more.  I love Pinterest!

My card today is just for such an occasion and I love how it turned out!  

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

I just received the sad news that Eileen, Mother-In-Law of my good friend Lisa, has passed away.  I was honored to have spent time with Eileen during her struggles with Alzheimer's.  Eileen was one of the first students to attend The Christ Hospital School of Nursing here in Topeka,  the original Stormont School of Nursing in 1945.  She kept a scrapbook with photos and newspaper clippings of her friends and lots of memories from her time there.  I loved that!

My thoughts and prayers for her family today.

This card was inspired by one from Melissa Davies. 

 

Brown Sugar

One of my favorite Rolling Stones songs is Brown Sugar.  

You're probably saying "Deloris, how does this relate to your pretty card?"

So I've been sharing recipes for my projects with you and you may have noticed that we have some fabulous  names for our colors.  

My card base is (drum role please) Baked Brown Sugar!

My thoughts are now turning towards a garden, evening tea party.  Lace doilies, something homemade with brown sugar and honey drizzled on top, put on a pretty dress and adding my precious pearl necklace.  Stop!  I've lost my mind.  Egads.  Whatever was I thinking?  A dress?  No way in this heat.  For those who know me well, I don't like wearing dresses either.
