I changed mine a tab, I used a Martha Stewart Trellis punch and fern; Spellbinders Grand Labels Four; Floral Flourishes; Labels Four; Heartfelt Creations 3312 Uplifting Scriptures; Versa Mark, Gold powder and a Gold Pilot Marker.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid.  The lace is some I got not far from here the day we went to the Winston show, the one with pearls is 25 feet, I got it for $1.49, the blue I had and forget what I gave for it.  That's it for now.  Thanks for looking!!!

Happy Labor Day

Hope eveyone has had a great weekend, I have.  We didn't go any where or really do anything but I have relaxed and played!  I have several cards on Pinterest that inspire me so today I decided to go look and create!  Here is the first one, it's from Auntie Em's.  Never found it on her blog but........she had made a mini book, mine is a Sympathy card I hope I don't have to use.
I started out by making my card 5x7.  It's Gina K 120 Ivory.  Then I stamped 1198G Amazing Grace from Heartfelt Creations with clear embossing powder, sponged over it and rub off the extra.  The sentiment is from 3377 Sympathy Sentiments and cut out with Spellbinders Ironwork Accents.  The leaves I stamped with 3405 Leaf Medley and cut out using Foliage.  Shaped and added on top of the flourish I cut out with Spellbinders Floral Flourishes.  The Big Rose is the dies from Rose Creations and the smaller ones are from Garden Favorites, it's a quill die. I also used lace and Martha Stewarts fern punch.  that's it for now...........thanks for looking!!!

Morning all!!!  I played yesterday and look what I came up with.  And I love the way it closes and stays closed!!!!  I could have used 2, that worked, but I decided to go with 3.  Super easy!!!  I have had this hardware for ever!  Just don't use it much any more until now.  Got my card made, punched the holes, added the brads, then attached the inside which hid the brads.  I used Heartfelt Creations 3493 Yuletide Sentiments with the Layered Scalloped Posy Die. Be sure and check out the new blog HC has, it's awesome! I did emboss the little piece with Cuttlebugs Kassie's Brocade folder, then added Spellbinders Frosy Forms cut outs. Love how this turned out and hope you do too!!!  Later, it's WW this morning..............
