It's hard to believe that it's already Wednesday. Where do the days go? It seems as though you barely take a moment to breathe, and another week has passed. I sure am thankful to have the time to be creative each week, and don't know what I'd do if I couldn't find time to be crafty. I made two cards as I was preparing for this week's challenge at Word Art Wednesday. The first ard I made was the scripture card using this week's free scripture file. The second card was very similar, but was created to fit into some challenges I wanted to enter.
And here is the second card. They were both made with some patterned papers and embellishments that I picked up super cheap on a clearance sale at JoAnne's.
Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge Blog - The Stamp You Love But Don't Use. We all have those, don't we? Mine is this Happy Anniversary stamp. I don't know why I don't use it more because I always end up needing anniversary cards. For lots of great new stamps, check out Simon Says Stamp.

The colours are beautiful together and the bows are fabulous !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Karen!! I love the colors and papers!
ReplyDeleteThe verse suits that image for me... I have been up the Eiffel Tower and it was a little unnerving! (Queasy with a pregnancy may have helped that, too!)
Such a pretty card Karen! Love the Eiffel Tower --and whole vintage feel of this. Another wonderful verse too.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a blessed week.

ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful and very creative too! I love how you moved around the elements to create to different versions using the same elements. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWith all the comments you leave on my blog, I just wanted to stop by and let you know how adorable your card is. I just love the DP with that Eiffel Tower. I have a Eiffel Tower stamp and have been waiting to use it. I keep putting off brainstorming for that. Hope your doing well and picked up some Little Debbie's. Ha! (That was my size 3 "model" speaking. Ha!)

Karen, it's a delight to see both of your cards. I'm attracted to your color combo with the Eiffel Tower and ribbon embellishments. The verse from Word Art Wednesday was especially meaningful to me this week. I'm so glad you're sharing it with others, too. Thank you for joining us at Twist of Faith. It sounds like our stitching challenge is a cinch for you!
