IM508 Blueberry Get Well Wishes

Happy Thursday, peeps!  The week is whizzing by, isn't it?  I have a friend who's having surgery today and I thought I'd send her a little get-well card using the sketch only from In(k)spire Me:

I thought that large horizontal panel would work well with the new Countryside Borders stamp, and I haven't delved into my new Gingham DSPs, so I put them both to work:

I stamped the images in Blueberry Bushel and diecut them with the matching dies.  I added an oldie-but-goodie sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes; it fit nicely in that little floral border!  

Everything went on a Blueberry Bushel gingham background and I used the flip side for the horizontal piece! A few faceted gems were added:

and an encourage sentiment from Stamp Simply on the inside:

It's ready to go in the mail!

Cassidy is spending a few weeks this summer as a junior counselor-in-training at a local Christian retreat center near their home.  They have summer camps and daycare, and it looks pretty awesome.  You can see what they did the first half of the first week at their website HERE.  I tried to find her in amongst the kids, but I had no success...I'll have to ask her if she was able to participate in any of the events.  I do know that she is exhausted when she comes home:

It's a long day for her!  Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst.  But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.  1 Timothy 1:15-16

FMS584 Hello Friend

Hi there, everyone!  The FMS sketch this week by my friend Linda was a tricky one...at least I thought it was, LOL!  I decided to let the DSP do most of the work, using the pretty new Countryside Inn papers!  First, here's the sketch:

And here we go; I already had a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock cut and folded, so I turned it on its side to accomodate the sketch:

I chose a panel with these pretty birds on it, then stamped and diecut one of the outlines from Countryside Corners in Misty Moonlight, then added sentiments from Biggest Wish and Best Family Ever.  I even cut out another little bird and flower to embellish it:

Another sentiment from Best Family Ever and a little extra strip of DSP for the inside:

Busy day ahead, busy weekend too!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Countryside Corners

Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you had a good weekend! I was playing around with my new Countryside Corners stamps and dies last week....I love the coordinating papers, all those BLUES make me happy!  So here we go:

I stamped the large image a couple of times in Craft White ink, once on Boho Blue and another on Night of Navy, then carefully cut them out with the dies.  I did a smaller panel on Basic White, stamping it with Balmy Blue and adding a sentiment from Quiet Meadow:

Everything was mounted on a piece of Countryside Inn, then on a Bojo Blue card base.  I did add a wee bit of Boho Blue ribbon on the side for an embellishment!  These colors make me happy!  Thanks for popping in today!

We had a bit of summer-like weather over the last few days (not today, though!).  Dana caught up on some reading on the hammock, along with Ginger:

I am sure if Eden tried to get up there, the whole hammock would have given way, LOL!  Meanwhile, in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, where my sister lives (near Charleston), this view was right off her porch:

I believe this is called a shelf cloud, I could be wrong though!  It only brought a little bit of wind and rain and blew right through, but how impressive is that?!  

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

The disciples went and woke him, saying "Lord, save us! We're going to drown."  He replied, "You of of little faith, why are you so afraid?"  Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.  The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this?  Even the winds and the waves obey him!"  Matthew 8:25-27

PP637 Smile for You

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Ann is our Paper Players hostess with a fabulous sketch!  I just love this one, check it out:

So many possibilities, where to begin?  I felt like I was ignoring some of the goodies from the current mini catalog, so I pulled out a couple of wee little scraps from my package of Country Floral Lane and Country Gingham, along with the Country Bouquet set and went to work:

I stamped the hearts in Poppy Parade and Petal Pink, the leaves in Mint Macaron, then punched everything out with the matching punch.  The vertical panel is the new Countryside Corners, stamped in Balmy Blue and diecut with the matching die.  I added another panel beneath it, embossing it with the Countryside Blossoms EF

The sentiment is from the new Circle Sayings...I think I'll be getting a lot of use from this set!

I hope you'll pop over to the Paper Players blog to see the other fun creations that the DT made with this awesome sketch!  Let them inspire you to create something of your own, and share it with us there!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
