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.

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
