BLESSED

Hello and welcome by my blog, sweet crafty friends.  This evening I'm sharing a "just for fun" card that I created earlier today while I had some free time on my hands.  I had lots of little paper snippets lying around on my craft table from some other projects I've been working on this week.  I love using all those darling little scrap pieces; or snippets as we like to call them.  Seeing them get used up to create something sweet just makes me happy.  This is what I came up with for today's card.

The patterned papers, stickers, etc. are from an Echo Park line called This & That by Lori Whitlock.  I stamped the sentiment (BLESSED) onto the doily die-cut using the Paper Sweeties Stamp Set called Blessed.  I just LOVE the font in this sweet stamp set, and ALL of the sentiments are this adorable.  I use this Blessed Stamp Set a lot.  I added lots of sweet flowers, burlap string, stamens, and felt leaves.

Below are the FUN challenges where I'll be linking up my blessed card.  I sure hope you're staying safe, happy and healthy, and that you're creating beautiful things while stuck indoors.  I'm making the most of my time.  Thanks again for visiting me today.     - Karen

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Spring Mood Board - (see photo above).  I was inspired by all the soft pastels.  I used scraps of paper to recreate the colors that I pulled from the photos.

AND...I have another card I'd like to share with you today as well.  I was playing with these patterned papers a bit more today.  Whenever I have a particular line spread out all over my craft table, I tend to use up the scraps and keep making more cards.  Such was the case today with these Echo Park papers and stickers.  I need a little card to send my granddaughter anyway, so.....why not?

The letters I die-cut to spell TAYLEE is from Frantic Stamper.  It's one of the few font dies (alphabet/letters die) I own, but it's a great size and a really cute font so I use it as needed and really like it.  I added my flag banner across the top using stickers, and attached lengths of tied solid pink baker's twine at the top of the banner.  I thank Darlene and Diane (Double D Challenges) for inspiring this card with their fun new "banners" challenge.  Thanks again for stopping by to take a peek, and have a blessed day.

Here's where I'm sharing my card for Taylee:
