DDD ~ Give Thanks ♥

Hello friends!

It's the 15th of the month,

the day the Divas and Dazzlers from the DDD 'duel' :)

Our hostesses for this month's duel are Carol for the Divas

and Shelly for the Dazzlers ~

chosing a most wonderful theme of "Give Thanks".

My card today is using the image/papers and embellishments from

the rich, vivid and sparkly kit sent to us from Carol.

The only thing I used of my own was cardstock and glue!

Naturally, when thinking of a card design,

I just had to use some sparkle as Carol's kit just glitzed and glammed,

her signature touch!

She also sent us two images to chose from,

and I chose to use the praying little boy with his bear.

 The image reminded me so much of my son,

a faith-filled little man of God.

He makes my heart beam with pride when I hear him every day

telling me a story of how he prayed

or was able to be a witness to a friend in need.

He inspires me daily!

Without further adieu, my CAS card .......

and the inside of my card:

 

 
Be sure to stop in and see what the rest of the Divas have made

 with this same image/paper kit!

And what the Dazzler's have created with their "Give Thanks" kit ...

you can find them all in my sidebar ► 

Thank you, Carol and Shelly -

I am very grateful ♥

Thanks for stopping by today :)

Big hugs, bigger blessings!

Luke 2:11 ♥

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, 

which is Christ the Lord." ~ Luke 2:11

 Happy SONday!

Just 42 more days until the most celebrated day of the year - Christmas!

One of my favorite images for the holidays is the 3 Wise Men,

seeking and honoring the infant Jesus born in Bethlehem.

What a sight that must have been to behold!

  Today's card is a CAS card I made for The Project Bin,

using a new sentiment from the Luke 2:11 set.

I stamped it right onto the kraft cardstock,

added a Nativity image of the 3 Wise Men,

some bold ribbon, rustic twine and a button.

You can find this sentiment,

as well as many more for every occasion,

here in The Project Bin shop ♥

Big hugs, Bigger blessings!

3M: Dashing through the snow!

Good morning, friends!

It's the 9th of the month, 

the day the 3 Musketeers post our cards with a surprise image :)

This was my month to provide the image

and this is the one I chose:

Snowy Trio by Purple Onion Designs.

I bought this stamp and matching sentiment the SECOND I saw it

while blog surfing ... 

It was love at first sight!

  

Call me crazy, but I love and long for the snow! ♥

Having grown up mostly in Europe with real winters and lots of snow,

I miss all wonders and beauty of it.

Alas, here in South Florida we had "sand"men and

lights strung up in palm trees and iced cocoa, LOL! :)

Here is my take on the image this month:

My card has a base of dsp from a mish-mash holiday blend,

and I've added sugar stickles to the 'snowy' areas.

I've added a snowflake from my stash that I covered in white faux snow paint

and then sprinkled it with Martha Stewart glitter, and a pearl adorns the cent

 Be sure to see what Barb and Jeanette have made 

with the image as well .... you won't want to miss it!

Next month, Barb is up and I'm sure she has something fun 

in store for us ♥

 

Big hug, Bigger Blessings!

Election Day!

Good Morning, friends!

Today is a historical day for our country - electing the new president.

In honor of that day,

I've created a simple CAS card with a wonderful quote stamp

from The Project Bin stamps ....

"Whatever you are, 

be a good one." 

~Abraham Lincoln 

That's the best we can hope for with an election

 as interesting as this one has been.

I've paired it with an American flag stamp

that has been in my stamp bin for a good 10 years!

Perhaps it was waiting for today :) 

You can find this stamp in the shop here! 

Today's card is using the Wise Men stamp set,

and you can find inspiration and more beautiful cards from the DT ♥

As always,

Big hugs, Bigger blessings!
