Thinking of Joplin

I have been thinking and praying for the people of Joplin and really wanting to do something! So I will be donating $1.00 from every stamp set sold between now and the end of June. You will still receive all the FREEBIES and get to help me do this little thing to help our neighbors.

I decided to donate to the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. "Southern Baptist Disaster Relief responds to disasters across the US and around the world. Donations are fully tax deductible and 100% of all gifts are used to meet the needs of hurting people in the wake of disasters." "Nearly 95,000 Baptists across the country are trained to handle disasters like hurricanes and floods. After the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, the Baptist group is the biggest disaster relief organization in the country." AND YES I know many other churches are out there day in and day out doing their thing too!! I am proud of all of them!!

And about the card... I used some of my favorite sets on this card and this is definitely one of my better collage style cards. (a style I love but never can get it quite right!) Also I used one of my fabric flowers that I always include in my Ippity orders!! Sets used are Cherish Your Dreams; Here and Now; and, Now and Always.

A few more challenge cards

This card is for the CASE Study challenge.  The inspiration card is Gorgeous and how much fun is a challenge that you CASE another card?!! I will be playing along often!! Stamps are Unity March KOTM and Unity Simply Said.

My second card is for the Simon Says Stamp and Show Distressing challenge. Who could pass up distressing LOL!! I used Ippity stamp Bit of Burlap and Ippity stamp set Cherish Your Dreams. (Love em' - I have both in stock and ready to ship!)  I love the way the blue ink made this happy card even brighter!!

My last project is for The Outlawz Scrapbook challenge. The challenge is holidays.We all have holiday pictures right - come on over and PLAY!! There are some great prizes involved!  Anyway, this picture was one I took of Maci under our Christmas Tree. I love the way the picture turned out. I used this adorable Echo Park paper and Twinery twine.  No stamping isn't that crazy! I still love the way it turned out. Click on the layout to see it closer up.

FWF Friday and Class examples!

Don't you just L♥O♥V♥E this new LYB Elizabeth Park line of paper?!!  I will be using this layout for some pictures of Maci playing outside!  (Is it wrong to have the layout before the pictures? LOL)  This two-page layout along with the card here are projects I will be teaching on Friday night April 15th.  You can click on the picture to see it larger.  The second page fits a 5x7 photo perfectly or you can use a 4x6 with a mat.  I think this will be perfect for any outdoor pictures, pictures of flowers or pretty trees, etc.   I will have 3 more cards as well and Cynde will be teaching 2 layouts!!  If you are interested in signing up for the class - shoot me an email!!  AND if you are loving these Ippity stamps as much as I do click here and order some for yourself!! I have some sweet prices and awesome freebies!!

*note for class - please bring your normal scrapbook tool kit along with adhesive that works well with ribbon, scissors and 3D foam squares.

Everything for these five cards and Cynde's layouts will be provided for only $25.00!!
