One more card for today!!

...WooHoo! I finished my third card today and this one is for the newest 'Card Corner' Challenge over at SSC.  This week's challenge is to use a sketch as inspiration for your card.  This is the sketch that Maureen provided for us -- Pretty isn't it!

   And this is my card that I created based on the Sketch and using lots of my favorite products!



    It was a very fun and easy card.  I started by making my card base from a Lavender piece of Bazzill Swiss Dot Card-stock, which I Chomped with my MM Corner Punches. Next I used (4) scraps of my new favs -- 'Kioshi' from Basic Grey, which I cut in various widths and edged using two different border punches.  The design with the little heart shapes is from EK Success and the Scallop Border is from Fiskars.  My LOVE Sentiment is actually a font called "Adornment", that I have used several times for different project.  I bought it from Lettering Delights and LOVE it!    I added a strip of lavender ribbon for some different texture and then added Prima flowers with lavender pearl centers and a hint of Glitter!  This card can pretty much be used for any occasion and the 'Love' Sentiment can be removed, if needed.  I may actually use it for a birthday card, and if I do, I will create a new Sentiment.

   And that will be it for today, as I am one tired girl.  I had a wonderful creative day, but I'm beat.  I hope tomorrow goes this well, as I have a few more project I want to work one.  One will be my Copic "Coloring Jeans' Challenge at SSC and the second is a Sketch project for the 'Through the Craftroom Door', the fabulous new craft magazine by Marti Willis and Suzanne Dean.   If you haven't seen it yet, you can subscribe to it HERE!!  And the best best is that once you subscribe, you will also have access to a wonderful online website that is exclusive to subscribers.  It's FULL of fun crafty ideas, inspiration, tutorials and challenges.  Hope to see you there, it's another great group and I really enjoy being a member! 


    Hugs and Happy Crafting,

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
