Hello and welcome back to the blog. Today the internet was intermittent and instead of waiting for it, Bill and I got out of the house for a bit.  We found an old gift card to Outback, and figured we give it a try. We had a nice time for an early Valentine's outing.  The internet is still acting up, so hopefully, it will start working properly again.  I did a live on Facebook, that was fun! I'm out of practice, so it took a lot longer than I thought it would, but the more I do, the better they will get. 

On to today's card.  FMS#422

 So I've got a card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Linda's sketch is amazing. You should check it out!  I started with the Mega Hello Die, in Forest Glades cardstock. Along with the Essential Rock Collection paper pack. I chose a subtle print to go behind the Hello die and added a layer of Vellum on top. Then I grabbed some of the Floral Flurries Washi Tape and layered it onto white cardstock. Fuzzy cut the images out and placed them onto the vellum. I also added a smaller "Hello" sentiment from Sentiment Stripes.  I love the fun look of the card. I always love how FMS comes up with amazing sketches. 


Here's a second picture giving you a different angle of the card.  

Well, that's it for today,  I'm so grateful to know God. That each day he helps us to find our paths on this earthly home.  I look forward to each day, both good and the bad, guided by grace, and by a loving God. Amen

Hello and welcome back to my blog :)  Well we had a long day watching movies, getting comfy and just living in the moment. What did we watch you ask... Lord of the Rings, we got through 2 full movies, before we took a break for dinner.  Shortly after I'm done writing up my blog for the day, we'll jump back to where we left off.  I love days like this, they feel so amazing. Anyway on to the card...

I don't know what is wrong with me, but I am loving leaves all by themselves.  Sometimes they don't get to shine. So I'm glad that I went with them for today's blog.  I started with the Hope stamp set from Altenew. Along with their Watercolor Stripes Cover die and lots of fab color from the Green Meadows Oval Inkpad set.  I used all but the lightest of the inks to create the leaves. I also used the Enamel dots in Green Fields. My die cut is part of the Hope die set, and the sentiment is from the Sentiment Strips stamp set. 

I used 80lb white cardstock and Jet Black cardstock too!  I'm cutting it short today, the guys are waiting to continue with the movies, so enjoy and God bless.
