Happy Mother's Day!

Good morning and Happy Mother's Day! I hope you've had a blessed morning so far!

Welcome to week 2 of my DT term on the Stampin Sisters in Christ Blog! I'm having a ton of fun so far! I feel so blessed with each bit of interaction I can get with these amazing ladies!

This week our challenge is being hosted by our awesome Peggysue!

The verse she chose to use is:

Genesis 5:20 "Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive."

Peggysue's challenge is for us to use any type of animal, bird or bug in our creation.

  

Our sponsor this week is Doodle Pantry. They're giving 3 digital stamps to one random winner on the SSiC blog! They have tons of cute digi stamps! Hop over that way & check them out. Give 'em some love for sponsoring our challenge this week!

I used Doodle Pantry's "Plush Panda" on my card.

(edited to add: I'm also entering this is the Doodle Pantry challenge! You can enter it too, if you're using a Doodle Pantry image!)

Have a wonderfully, blessed week!

Card for Jessica's mom

Hi! Welcome to my blog! I'm so glad you're here! Let me share with you the card I made for my friend, Jessica's mom. She is going through her second round of breast cancer. I hosted a "card drive" at my church for her so the ladies of our church could send cards to Jessica's mom. Jessica is our Youth Pastor's wife. She's such a sweet friend and it was so much fun to do this for her and her mom. The image I used on this card is from McMahon 5 Designs. It is adorable! You can find it here.

If you have a moment, could you please say a prayer for Jessica's mom? It would be greatly appreciated! Hope you enjoyed my card and have a wonderfully blessed day!

Happy Sunday & New Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge!

Good morning friends! Today is a super special day for me because it's my first challenge on the Stampin Sisters in Christ Design Team Spring/Summer 2012! This group of ladies is amazing and I'm so blessed to have been chosen to be a part of their team!

I'm so excited to share with you my first creation on the DT!

Our hostess this week is Miesje and the verse she chose is 1 John 2:4-6 "Whoever says, 'I know him', but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the trugh is not in him. But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him." She has a wonderful devotion on the SSiC blog, so jump on over there to hear what the Lord has to say through her.

Miesje challened us to create a card or project that uses something real or natural on it - such as twine, burlap, shell, sand, sand, sand, or anything natural. I bet you can't guess what I chose to use, can ya? lol Yep, that's real sand on my creation! It's straight from the Bahamas! Yes, really. We went there on a cruise for our honeymoon and I fell in love with the ocean! I've never been the same since then! I think the ocean and everything about it is God's most beautiful creation!

Sponsoring the SSiC this week is Our Daily Bread Designs. Please be sure to stop by their shop and check out all their wonderful stamps and accessories!
Have a wonderfully blessed Sunday!

Cards for Leah & Emily

Hi! Welcome to Creative Jeans!

So, my first card today is for Leah! You can read more info about her here. I used Sweet Tilda & digi paper I got as a freebie. Here's Leah's card:

Kim's birthday card

Hi! Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I made for a lady I work with. I didn't use any stamped images on the outside, so it's a little different than I normally make, but I saw this idea on pintrest (yes, my new favorite place to be!) and I thought it would be cute and fun to make. It actually turned out to be super easy, too! You can't really see it all, but I used stickles on all the little dots on the patterend paper. Enjoy!

Have a wonderful day!

Wedding Card for Meg
