A card and a Prayer


I found a new-to-me sketch challenge last night called the Deconstructed Sketch. I looked at some of the past sketches on Jen's, and I am already addicted.

I made this card up quick, but I think it looks like I spent a bunch of time on it (its the sketch I am telling you). I used my new SU! Edgelits borders on the main long strip and on the bottom of the front panel (I can tell I will be using them a lot). I pulled out my SU! set called Natural Beauty to do the front panel behind the flower - what a super set that has been for me (I think SU! should bring it back). Fun papers from Prima, some Cool Caribbean ink all over the whole thing, a flower and some sprigs, and a few pearls - and it was done!

It is going to my MIL who needs everyone's prayers. She had kidney surgery yesterday and the news was not good. She goes to the doctor in a week and they are going to decide the next plan of action. If you have some time this week or some room on your prayer list - please say some prayers for her. She is such a sweetie, and it breaks my heart that she may have to seriously suffer.

It's Friday! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hugz!!!!!

    This card is just gorgeous. Loaded with beauty. I'm sorry to hear of your MIL's illness and I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers, but if anything can make her feel a bit better it will be this card. Your color scheme is so pretty and I love how you used that stamp. I think I will have to pull that one out of my closet also. You flower has such an elegant look to it. Wonderful job.

    This is one gorgeous card, and it does look like it took forever to make! I love all the distressing and borders, and hopefully this will cheer up your MIL who is going through a rough time. I'm so sorry for her and will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
