Encouraging Display Card Using Cricut New Testament Cartridge

I wanted to make a card for a friend
going through breast cancer that she could
display and read on those difficult days.

I used the new Cricut Cartridge New Testament
for the Scripture.

Display Card Size:  7 " Square

Scripture cut at 4 1/2"

Frame cut from Storybook Cartridge

I love using leftover flowers & vines to add some interest.

I even had a butterfly left over so added it as well.

I hope this verse will be a reminder to her that

with God all things are possible and He will

give the strength needed for each day ahead!

Blessings!

Baby Shower Cards

Cute as a Button

 I adapted this idea from the March 2012 CardMaker Magazine

where Designer Rosemary Dennis used frame & sentiment stamps
and a whale cut out with the layout above.

 Card Size:  4 1/4" Square

Larger Pink Mat:  4"

Larger White Mat: 3 1/2"

Small Pink Mat:  3"

Small White Mat:  2 3/4"

16  Buttons similar color

Duck cut from Cricut Cartridge A Child's Year 1 1/2"

Small black bead for eye

Sentiment printed on computer then cut to size

Foam tape used to attach larger white mat

These can be made in any color!

I have a friend who is not finding out what the baby is

so she is getting a yellow card!

Hope you have a blessed week!

Thanks for coming by to visit!

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for Spring!  

When I sat down at my craft table, I just wanted to make something cheery & bright!

It has been raining here for days. I chose yellow (definitely a Spring color) 

and the black seemed to make a nice contrast, making it even brighter!

Looking forward to Spring!  

Spring Birds in Winter

I opened the door to an unusual sound.

Greeted by beautiful singing.

A Winter day full of surprises.

Bright, sunny and cheerful.

The birds in my tree didn't know

it wasn't Spring.

They sang with joy at the beautiful day.

Winter can fall in our lives too.

But we can sing like the birds

by seeing the beauty in each day

whether it's Winter or Spring!
