More Cards for School Fundraiser

Good afternoon!! Here is the 2nd last installment of my creations for my daughter's school fundraiser. This is my fourth year doing this and I usually make 20-25 cards for various occasions.

My first card is also an entry for this week's challenge over at SSC where we are called to make a card or project that is "Clean & Simple". I am always at a loss when I make sympathy cards on just how much "stuff" to put on them. Here's my version of Clean and Simple which I think is always best for this type of card.

Sympathy

Stamps--Thoughts and Prayers--Stampin' Up

Canada Day

Stamps--Motivet--Doraline & Dexter--Empty Flag--Sentiment--Studio G

Get Well

Digi Stamp--Karen's Doodles--A Friend In Need


Wedding

Stamp--The Greeting Farm--Bride & Groom



Thanks for stopping by to take a peak! Only 3 more cards and I am done--Woohoo!

Have a great day!!

Blessings,

Sarah :)

SSC Challenge #28

Here's a card I made for my mom's 81st birthday! She is such a gift to me and has always been a special part of my life. Happy Birthday Mom!!! We love you!!

This card is also for the SSC Challenge--make a card/project with a thankful heart and do it as if you are making it for God. I am so thankful and feel so blessed that God has given me the time, resources, imagination and creativity to do the craft I love. I also feel very blessed when I can use this craft to bring love, joy, and even encouragement into the lives of others.

Here's my card...

And matching envelope...

What I Used:

• Stamps: Primp--Penny Black, Open Star Dot--Judith & Heather, Birthday Presents (Masked)--Kolette Hall & Whimsical Happy Birthday--Hero Arts

Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge

Hello there! Thought I'd try my hand at some new things today--a new challenge, a new stamp company (to me) and some new embellishments. The challenge is from Stampin' Sisters in Christ. Hostess Ceal Prichett has asked us to make a card/project for someone letting them know that God loves them. This challenge was fun for me because there are so many women in my church and in my life that are a blessing to me and I have made it my aim to use the gifts I have to let them know.

This card will be for my friend Joan--she is a lovely woman--so full of life, who always has an encouraging word for me. Her life shines Christ to those around her and she is a constant reminder of God's goodness in my life. She also never fails to ask me how my kitties are doing. That is why I have chosen this image and coloured it to resemble Willow--my precious furbaby :). Stealing a flower is also something Willow would do--she's a little monkey sometimes but far too cute to scold :(

Here is the card I made for her...

I used a freebie digi image from Motivet--click on the link and it will take you to their site where you can download this image for yourself if you wish or just look at the great stamps they offer.

Here's the inside of my card...

I doodled "God Loves You" around the edge of the writing space--not sure if you can see it unless you click on the picture.

The Other Things I Used:

• Designer Paper: We R Memory Keepers--Hippo Flowers & Hippo Blocks
• Cardstock--Bazzil Papers & Stash
• Sentiment on Front--See D's
• Sentiment Inside--Stampabilities--I Count You Twice
• Stamped on Prism Simply Smooth with Memento--Tuxedo Black Ink
• Colorbox Fluid Chalk--Dark Moss
• Flowers--Prima
• Gold Dew Drops--The Robin's Nest (the 3rd new thing :)
• Cuttlebug--Scalloped Rectangle & Rectangle Dies

Well there you have it. Thanks for coming by to take a look & have a blessed day!
