Welcome to a new challenge  with Eureka Stamps. This week's challenge is  Love is in the Air or Valentines. My project features one of my favorite scriptures I Corinthians 13:4-8  I decided that the scripture image was perfect for framing.  Of course, I added a few embellishments and decorative paper.  Great for a gift or  it may stay on my shelf!  

Welcome to the Growing in Unity Blog Hop! I am the last blog on the hop list. You will want to start Here  if you haven't started from the beginning.   We were asked to use our favorite  Unity Stamp for the blog hop.   What?! That was really hard for me, but I decided to use the adorable Swagger set by Lisa Arana. This image is adorable and so  fun on any card. The sentiment is also from Unity called Happy 29th Birthday... Again The image was stamped and embossed then colored with Copic Markers.  It was fussy cut and popped up on dimension tape with designer papers from Basic Grey June Bug Paper Pad.   I thought I would share a couple of my favorites from last year as well.    Below is the Blog Hop list in case you began with me: Amanda Rhodes http://salnclts.blogspot.com/ Corrie Wagner http://corriescrafts.blogspot.com/ Pam ...

It's no secret... I Love sketch Challenges. From the Heart Stamps sponsors a fun sketch (with a twist) each week. It's also no secret that I Love the Birdbrain line at FTHS. I recently added the adorable No Snow Birdbrain to my stash. To further "protest winter" I've used bright colors to offset the winter drabs.  I'm considering the snow piles as  our optional twist to include nature.

Although we don't have penguins in Alaska, I thought Penguin Pete (AI Retired image) would work for this week's AI Challenge Winter Wonderland  as a fun calendar easel card. The stamp was embossed with CTMH Black embossing powder and colored with Copic marker then fussy cut. The snowy background was created using  the Country Landscape die from Memory Box.  I tore a couple of strips from  white cardstock then applied Stickles to the edge for snowy shimmer and dimension. Finally, I applied a line of glue to the edge of the base panel and sprinkled on Barbara Trombley's Art Glitter Faux Snow.  I'm also sharing my card with the following: Word Art Wednesday:  #217 Anything Goes QKR Stampede:  #174 Lots of Layers   Penny's Challenge:  #260 Anything Goes
