Hello ~ 

Thought I would do a quick post tonight and share the card I created for the latest MFT Sketch Challenge (#111) . I used the country charm dienamics and the latest Triple Scoop Set from MFT on my card. The patterned paper is from October Afternoon (Sasparilla 8X8 pad). The cardstock (Craft & Fresh Asparagus) and Ink (Fresh Asparagus) are both from Gina K Designs. I also used some twine from American Crafts. The corduroy button in the corner is from SU! 

Thanks for stopping by.  Hugs ~ LJ

Sending You My Love

It's the 15th of the month so it's time for another DD Duel, here's our inspiration for the month :) 

 It’s February and your Dueling Darling hostess’s Paola for the Dazzlers and Judy for the Divas have chosen this theme of love based on the Bible verses from Corinthians 13: 4,7,13 ~  “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud….It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres… And now these three remain:  faith, hope and love.  But the greatest of these is love.” (NIV)  

I had a lot of fun with this months' kit that Judy sent us.....the patterned paper was so pretty I tried to incorporate as much of it as possible. :) I colored the image (from Stampin Up!) with copics. Right now I am really into putting "banners" on my card. I do have some banner dienamics but lately I have been just using a square punch to get the banner effect on the strips of cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by today :) hugs ~ LJ

Unidentified Image Swap - Feb 2013

Hello ~ Hello

here's my card for the latest Unidentified Image swap over on SCS. This month's swap was hosted by Linda. She sent us some really cute doggy images to play with. This is a swap where every other month there is a hostess that supplies an "unidentified" image. The participants make 4 cards (all the same usually using the same image) and mails them back to the hostess. The hostess then sends the participants back 3 cards & images for the next round. The hostess gets to keep the 4th card for their collection (or to use) .

 The full image has a drawn square around the image with a butterfly floating around, however I chose to use just the dog portion of the image so I could make him valentines themed. The patterned paper is all from Imaginisce (their latest valentine's line) I used some MFT Die-namics as well and some ribbon from SU!

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs ~ LJ
