Hello, everyone! It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog. The theme is: Flora or Fauna. I am using an image from our fabulous sponsor: Polkadoodles and I chose to use both flora and fauna.

Shine on us
So glad
I lead a women's small group at our church and this semester we are incorporating some "social events" into our schedule. We meet on Thursday mornings and two weeks ago, Thursday was the day after Valentine's Day. So, we had a little Valentine's Day party with treats and a few games and I asked each woman to bring a little Valentine's Day card for each of the other women in the group. This is the card I created to give to everyone. They are little--4 1/4 x 4 1/4 (mostly so I could cut a 12x12 piece of paper into 9 pieces--I needed 7 cards though I made an extra to give away to a friend) so I created coordinating envelopes to hold them. Making envelopes is a great way to use up some of that 12x12 patterned paper that you never use!
I die cut the cream hearts and then used the leftover outlines in my mini MISTI to hold them in place so I could stamp the sentiment without having to reposition it every time. Then I did the same thing with the little banner. Everything seemed a little plain so I added the stamped pink hearts onto the cream heart. Inside I wrote each of them a note telling them why I was glad they are part of our group.Monday, February 26, 2024
Blue Skies
Hello, everyone! Here is a mid-challenge reminder for our "CAS" challenge over on the Creative Moments Challenge blog. You still have almost 2 weeks to play along with us. We have two sponsors and the image I used today came from Mirtillamente. Here is my card:
I kept this one nice and CAS: die cut the image panel with a stitched die, colored up my image, stamped the sentiment and adhered it to the card base before adding some clear dewdrops to mimic rain.

Valentine's Day cards
Card #2 uses a heart and star stencil that I just got last month as well as a star embossing folder (on the green panel) that I also just got last month. I added some die cut hearts to the striped panel as it seemed a little empty with anything there.
