A Vine and Arch


It is all about Purple in the newest Squigglefly challenge. It is our team's week off, but as usual I could not resist playing. I used a newer image by Pamela Lehto called Trumpet Vine Arch. I have had this image a few weeks, but had to think about how to use it best. I loved how Linda used it HERE, but I didn't want to copy here pretty card. I finally decided it would be great frame for some scripture or encouraging words, and I really like how it came out (my sentiment is from SU!). When I finished my panel, I decided to add some of my new Impression Obsession dies to mimic the image (fence and leaves).

Hope you can find some time to join the challenge too. Remember if you don't have a Squigglefly image, they have thousands of images from a large number of great artists and they have a large free section as well.

Hope you are having a wonderful Monday! Hugz!

    This is stunning, Nancy. I love every bit of it. Fantastic look to have one line of the sentiment in purple and popped up. Love that fence and your flowers. Outstanding job.

    You've got my attention with this beauty. Now that is awesome. I am totally taken with how you did the flowers on the side as embellishment and how wonderfully it matches the image. The fence and flower add another layer of beauty. This is fantastic. I love it!

    Nancy how inspirational! I love the verse, and the way you have part of it on the purple piece is wonderful. Your flowers trailing up the side look like they were meant to be there. I just love this!

    Hi Nancy, purple has always been a hard color for me, but you sure pulled it off beautifully with this lovely image and coloring. Embossed papers are pretty as well. Just gorgeous.

    There are so many gorgeous details on this beautiful card that it's just pure eye candy! I love how you added the purple panel for one line of the sentiment, and the beautiful vine climbing up the side of your card is fabulous! The colors are amazing, and so is this entire card! WOW!

    Nancy, what a lovely card - I have pinned it - so peaceful and delicate - Thanks for mentioning the IO dies. After visiting their blog, I found the Leafy Branch and wondered if that was what you used by cutting it apart? While the image is gorgeous, and beautifully colored, it is all the elements you've used which make it a masterpiece. Thank you for becoming my newest follower, and I have become yours as well, Nancy. Your style is so pretty, and I feel very inspired visiting your blog. hugs, de

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!

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....
