Celebrating you

 These Paper Rose images are just gorgeous and they have a touch of shine to them that makes them extra special looking on the card.  When hubby saw these with me he said those are cool, so I thought, I can always use more images for guy cards :)

• Paper Rose Studio - Lakeside Memories embossed die cuts
• 49 and Market - In the Leaves 12x12 papers, PVC die cuts (leaves) and Wishing bubbles and Trinkets epoxy xtickers
• Spellbinders - Labels one dies
• Simon Says stamps - Tiny words Birthday sentiment stamp

I would like to share my card with the following challenges:

Happy Hugs

 I have a couple cards I made for people in my church. The first was an older lady that recently started coming to our church, she is in need of prayer so I thought I would send a card to remind her that I was praying for her.

Hubby made me a few Autumn pictures on his computer using AI, and this image is one of them.

• Picture hubby made using AI
• DCWV - Earth Prints paper
• Hot off the press - Life Happens Greetings stamp sentiment
• Spellbinders - Blossom and Delicious Decorations (leaf) dies

A man in our church got Covid and was hospitalized.  I went with another Autumn themed card for his get well.

• Tim Holtz - Leaf Fragments and 3D Oak Leaf dies
• Tag from friend
• Art Gone Wild - Get well stamp sentiments

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today, I am a little behind on visiting blogs, been a bit busy, but will get to them :)

Autumn Birthday wreath

 Using more of the stamps from the magazine I bought at the bookstore. This half wreath stamp fit just right on an A2 size card. Fussy cut the flowers and butterfly and popped them up to add them to the wreath, and did a lot of inking.

• Creative Stamping Magazine - Summer Florals Stamps, colored w/markers and fussy cutting
• Distress Oxides - Spiced Marmalade, wild honey and Scattered Straw
• Crafter's Square - Birthday stamp sentiment
• Gold watercolor Paint Splattering

I would like to share my card with the following challenges:

Four Seasons Challenge Fall

Triple B Challenge Birds Blooms and Butterflies

Double D Challenge Wreaths

I want to say how thankful I am for all our Veterans, who have done so much for our country, and a shout out to my hubby who is one of them :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Forest Critters

 Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge this month was to use Forest Critters, and my first thought was my Heartfelt Creations papers and stamps, and this nephew still had not received a card using this set.

• Heartfelt Creations- Woodsy Wonderland Paper collection, Woodsy Critters Stamps and dies and Trees stamps and dies  (the trees were in a bunch and I cut them apart)

I love how you can make so many different scenes from the paper pack and all the images and then add your stamps to enhance the scene, and as many of these I have made I still have a lot left :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Anniversary

 Hubby and I celebrated our Anniversary last month, well we delayed going out because I have been sick for the past week with a bad cold that is still lingering a bit but we have decided to go out for dinner tonight and celebrate :)

I could not for the life of me find what I had in mind to do for him, what I am thinking is I may have thought I should buy it but didn't, that has happened to me before LOL!  So when I came upon these ephemera pieces, I thought they would be perfect.  After the card was all done and I am looking at it I thought oh this would have made a good valentine card, but guess it works for either :)

• Simple Stories - Simple Vintage Love story ephemera
• Base paper from my scraps bin

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
