A Miracle Birthday





A very special lady will be celebrating her 95th birthday soon, God willing. Alma was my long-time alto-singing friend in our church choir, and though we don't sing side by side now, I'm always so happy to see her at church events and around town. She's a ball of energy and always has good news to share! Flowers and butterflies are two of her favorite things in God's creation.  And she'll be the first to tell anyone that she wakes up saying, "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!" She's just full of rejoicing!

My card recipe -- CTMH products:

Miracle papers
Stamps: Celebrate Life; From Me to You
Inks: Sweet Leaf; Olive; Crystal Blue
Miracle kit Irresistable Die Cut Flower
Foam squares

I stamped the butterfly in Crystal Blue, then I stamp-rolled its edges in Olive.
(Some days I just don't trust myself with the X-acto knife, so I didn't cut the space between the antennas--it would look better if I had!)

Other: Green sparkles; sheer ribbon; Verve Scripture stamp

So glad you stopped by! I hope I've inspired you even a teeny tiny bit! Blessings!

And the Blog Candy Winner Is ...

Amy K from Michigan! She's a fairly new scrapbooker, and I hope she enjoys all the fun CTMH stuff!

After a ton of email entries and two blogsite entries, the random winner was picked by Little Princess last night.

Amy, your box of goodies is on its way to you tomorrow.

Thanks for playing, everyone, and happy Father's Day Sunday!

Hoppy Swing Card






This is my second card for the H2H challenge this week -- click HERE to see my first entry.

Here's another example of background stamping and my second swing card design. This time I used three small stamps. I added Liquid Glass to fill the open-designed hearts.

The textured CS isn't quite as easy to stamp as is the smooth. But I do love the peachy color of the back of the CS!

It's been fun seeing everyone's creative cards with stamped backgrounds!

Card recipe: All CTMH products

Felicity paper packet
Olive CS
Inks: Olive, Sorbet
Stamps: Princess (D1115)
Olive marker
Hemp
Circle Window Charms
Adhesive backed Twill (yes, you can print from your pc and stamp on it!)
Liquid Glass
(I computer-printed "Happy Father's Day)

Happy weekend, everyone, and Happy Father's Day to all the dads!
