Another Time After Time Entry

I broke out my

Prima Fairy Belle Collection papers and chipboard die-cuts and ended up making another card to enter in City Crafters Challenge #114... Time After Time. The challenge is to use a clock somewhere on your project.

This has a kraft cardstock

base and ivory textured cardstock mat. I used my paper distresser on the edges as well as Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.

The trinket pins are by 

Maya Road, the ribbon is from Michaels and the lace is Webster's Pages. I again used my Alterations Vintage Doily... the most used die I have at the moment.

This clock is another

from that package by Prima... LOVE these! I added a Teresa Collins brad to the center (cut off the tabs and glued in place). The jewels on the corners are by TPC Studio.

Now for a few photos...

Introducing baby Faith

to my craft room... I have to get her geared up for future hours she will spend in here.

The shade garden

is looking it's best right now with daylilies opening everywhere.

The lawn, however,

isn't doing as well... just not enough rain here this year.

How about joining

me for a cold lemonade or a cup of tea? I love it out here.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs!

Sentimental Sundays Challenge #74

The team at Sentimental Sundays 

is asking us to do something with our project that we don't usually do... a technique, a fancy fold, something that challenges our creativity.... to "Step Out of Your Comfort Zone".

I'm stepping out with some fabric...

I made this card from last

October's Fall in Love kit from PDP plus a couple of other items from my stash. I thought I would incorporate some wool left over from coasters I had made last year. My idea was to try sewing it to the border strip, but my machine had other ideas. I ending up gluing it. Oh well... roll with the punches!

I also thought I would try

to die cut a piece of cardboard to use as a mat... thankfully it fit through my Cuttlebug. 

Used: Spellbinder's Large Deckled Rectangles die, Walnut Stain Distress Ink, Tim Holtz Paper Distresser, Round Metal Edge Grungy Tag, Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock, two buttons, Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves Die, old leaves stamp set bought on sale ages ago, Martha Stewart border punch.

Well, now on to the important things...

Isn't he growing? I am blessed!!!

Thanks for stopping by to visit... you guys are the best!

I'm A Happy Grandma

I was able to meet my new 

grandson, Kenneth James, last night and have a little "holding time".

The happy grandpa!

Isn't a baby a miracle?

Psalm 139:14  I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Thank you for visiting today!

Hugs!!!

It's A Boy!

It's a boy... 9lbs 5oz.

My daughter and new grandson are doing great...

 all glory to God!

The Penmaker and I are busy babysitting, so no card making for awhile.

Love to you all!
