Prayers for Healing

I recently made this card to send to a dear niece who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She was just five years old when I joined the family. In the 43 years since, she has grown into an amazing woman- a mom, a lawyer, and an inspiration to many. I'll be sending this card on, loaded with love and prayers, later today. Since my niece is also a card maker, I know that she will love this sweet digi, which is actually a freebie (details in my supply list) and the bling will make her smile. (She knows that my hubby teases me about my love of all things bling- cards, clothes, and jewelry- since I hit "senior" status! I'm praying that she will survive this and come out stronger and bolder than ever. The world needs her in it for years to come!) 

Supplies: 
·   Digi- Mari Digis Freebie (Pink Ribbon)
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·   Front Sentiment- Computer Generated
·   Assorted background papers, pink ribbon, and square doily (just used a strip from one side) from my stash

Last week I was organizing my craft room and found a box of partially colored images… many

were decades old! How do I know that? Mainly because the images were all from Stampin’ Up,

and I remembered this stamp was from one of the first sets I purchased in the’90s. It was fun

to make a card with this fun digi. Decided to use some monochromatic patterned paper, so

that the minimal coloring in the image could pop! Even though I’ve been working remotely,

i.e. from home, for over 7 months, Fridays are still a reason to celebrate! I added some sequins

because a weekend is better with bling, right?!

Supplies: 

·   Image- Stampin’ Up Rubber Stamp (from a set that I now longer own.)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Cardstock and background paper from my stash

·   Sequins from Simon Says Stamps (Darice PEARLESCENT Sequins 5mm Item # 30054285)

A few months ago I offered to make baby announcements for a couple of dear friends who 

were having their first baby.  They knew they were having a girl so I made an assortment of

card designs from which they could choose. This isn’t the one they chose… but I really like its

vintage beauty. So I’m keeping it in my stash for future use. The baby carriage is a free digi,

and the rich brown ribbon and bow are upcycled from a Godiva Chocolate box. I love the lush

(dare I say yummy?) color scheme when the chocolate brown ribbon is paired with pink and

burgundy.  

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Antique Images Freebie (Baby Carriage)

·   Front Sentiment- “It’s A Girl!” from Printworks Rubber Stamps (retired)

·   A square of plastic lace table runner (purchased at a local hardware store!)

·   Assorted cardstock, background paper, and brown ribbons from my stash

·  Circle Templates from my scrapbook stash

·   Pink photo corners available from several web sources (WXJ13 13 Sheets 13 Colors Photo Mounting Corners)
