Wishing you a special day

I found this cut and embossing folder on sale and I just had to give it a try, I like the idea of embossing and cutting all at the same time.  After embossing I sanded the raised bits and then added a few stickles.  The sentiment was stamped onto some pattern paper.



Core'dinations- Distress collection cardstock
Sizzix - Impresslits - Wildflower frame folder
Stampendous - Birthday Assortment stamp sentiment
Stickles - Broken China

The water here is getting very high, we are just outside of St. Louis on the Illinois side and the Mississippi is to crest to 46 feet. The town Alton that I showed in an early post, where I was standing to take the pictures is all under water, praying for all the people in these communities that are struggling with the water and those that have been impacted by all the tornadoes we are having across the country.

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

Connie

My heart goes out to those affected by the flood. Hope you'll be ok.

Sending prayers for all those dealing with flooding as my area is no stranger to flooding. We have had 3 days in a row where we have had tornado warnings and tornadoes possibly touching down and I live in Pa. where we never used to have tornadoes before!!!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!!
Stay safe!
Hugs,
Deb

Gosh, Connie, amazing that you used an embossing folder to accomplish this! It does its job well! I love the soft neutral color with just a touch of blue. Very pretty! It's hard to figure out who's NOT having awful weather lately. Some are definitely having a worse time than others. The south is sunny, but way too hot. It's crazy!
