Hello and welcome back! I've got a cute card made with products from Altenew, a personal update and a bit of bible study information.  Today was pretty cool, the hubby and I went shopping for a housewarming gift for my middle daughter who will be getting their apartment soon.  We also got some snacks, and stuff for dinner.  I also had a chance to catch up with Jeanne, she also made a card.  I love how dedicated she is about being a better artist. She has been taking classes for drawing and shading.  Her work is stunning.  Bible study was really good yesterday. I've recently changed the days when I do bible study, only Monday - Fridays. This allows me really work on all the things I need to do on the weekends and appreciate the days I dive into Bible class. 

Let's start with the card I made today! I've included a link at the bottom, so please take a look at it.

I've used the stamp set before, but never in Red Cosmos ink colors.  I love how beautiful it turned out. Not only are the flowers pretty but so is the sentiment which is from Classic Beauty.  I used Obsidian Black for the outline and sentiment and with Green Fields for the leaves.  I added some of the Red Cosmos Enamel Dots too! I love those things!

Here's a close up of some of the details on my card.  Warm n Cozy inks are perfect for the centers of most any flower!  Do you see the Obsidian Black on the leaves? Pretty cool, huh!

And another angle of the card.  I love the balance in this layout. Always a beautiful way to show off florals while leaving plenty of space for a sentiment.

That's about it for today. May God bless you

Hello and welcome back to the blog! Lets me start by saying what a great day I had today.  I love how today's card turned out.  My birthday was awesome and I got a new purse from my daughter Aldea and it was fabulous. The hubby and son got me a cake and it was so delicious!  I relaxed for most of the day.  I even got a card in the mail from a dear friend.

While I was completely sold on the die in the background with the bold pattern, I think it turned out fabulous. 

For the products today all of them are Altenew; Starting with the Build A Flower: Anemone, in Shades of Purple and Green Fields inks. I also used one of the sentiments from this set for my sentiment.  The background is from the Cube Die and Reflection 6x6 print pad.  I used Obsidian Black for outlining and the sentiment. My cardstock is 80lb white.

Keeping it short today, but I'll be back on Monday with more cards and maybe a few surprises too!
Until then, my God bless you

My card is a simple one today.  The shoulder is still messed up and honestly, I'm in a lot of pain. I tried to relax as much as possible.  Still, life goes on, with or without our input, it seems less of our making and more of others. That is why regardless of how we feel, we continue to rise to the occasion.  Praise Jesus for this day

Today's card is made with Beautiful Heart is from Altenew.com and has a large floral, large leaf (shown) and a small leaf image along with the sentiment you see below.  There are days where the leaves are my favorite part of the stamp set. I grew up in the mid-west, where the trees grew tall, wide and beautifully green.  Somedays I miss those trees that I knew growing up.  

The other products I used are Inks, Obsidian Black Ink, and Green Fields Oval Ink pads on white 80 lb cardstock.  I love the look!  Sadly I've only got the one card today.

Hoping my shoulder will be back to normal in no time, for now, I'll keep praying for good health, family and friendship, Amen
