He Cares About You

Hello!

I remember where I was and what I was doing eleven years ago today.   I remember the shock and the fear.  I remember the sadness and the prayers.  I remember.  I can never forget.  I am praying for all of the families of loved ones lost on that day.  Praying for your hearts to be comforted.  

I love the scripture on my card today.  Just knowing that God cares for me gives me great comfort!  

This scripture is part of the new ODBD  Scripture Series 3 set.  

 

The Shining the Light Challenge at ODBD this week is to use birds.  I used a pretty chipboard bird by Prima adding a pearl to her eye.  And look at those Spellbinders Marvelous Squares!  I am totally in love with them!!!  And the Bitty Blossoms too!!!  I am having so much fun making those little flowers!  I completed the card by adding a few more pearls to the corners and the flower centers.  

I really appreciate you visiting with me today!  God bless you!

Be Joyful and a New Blog Candy Winner

Hi there!!!  Hope you all have had a great weekend!  

I have another card to share using the new Be Joyful set from Our Daily Bread designs!  

 

This time I only used one of the sentiments but I did use some new Spellbinders I just received.  I have been wanting the Bitty Blossoms since they first came out and finally got them.  I need some more practice but I love how they turned out anyway!   I also used the new Scalloped Labels One!  This is such a pretty compliment to Labels One and I love it!  I used two sided designer paper in my scrap bin so I don't remember who makes it.  The red flowers are actually the backside of the background papers.  I sponged Antique Linen ink on all edges and embossing.  Here is a closer view:

Please contact me at sshanabrough@gmail.com

If not, I will be drawing another name and announcing it tomorrow.

I wanted to share another card using one of the new ODBD releases, Scripture Series 3!

I was inspired by these beautiful plates from French Garden House for the inspiration challenge today at Splitcoast.  I used some gorgeous papers and trims and a cameo that a sweet DT sister sent to me!  The background is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and I sponged the edges of the background and the ovals with brown ink.  I glued the seam binding down in ruffles and then glued the bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!  Topped it off with the cameo!  The ovals are ODBD Custom Elegant Ovals dies by Spellbinders. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a wonderful day!

And The Winner Is...

Good morning friends!!!  Hope you are having a great week! 

I am announcing the winner of my blog candy today!!  

Who is it?  Who is it?

First, I have a couple of cards to share today featuring the new Be Joyful set from Our Daily Bread designs!  This is such a fun set!  With two lovely images and so many great sentiments, this is a must have for your stamp collection!  

I rarely make yellow cards but somehow I just felt yellow would be perfect for this set!  I made a frame with the negative piece after cutting out a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Square.  I colored the image with copics to match the card stock and added tiny green Zva pearls to their centers.  Then I made a pretty bow with my Becca Peg Bow Maker and added it to complete the card!  Oh and I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to make the correct placement of the birthday sentiment!

This is being submitted to the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge this week to make a birthday card and also to this week's Word Art Wednesday Challenge.

This next card is even more CAS!

  

I used the smaller of the images this time, coloring it with copics.  I stamped it again and cut out the flowers to add to the card to give it a little dimension.  I also added a little sparkly to the flower centers.  I stamped the sentiment 3 times in a haphazard way along side the image.  Then I added a tiny bow on the stem.  The embossed edges were done by embossing with a Spellbinders Square die.

And now, it's time for the announcement of the winner for my blog candy!!!

Drum Roll Please...

I decided to share a card using the new Lilac set!!!  

 This is a fun one to color y'all!  

I used various shades of copic markers and I made a frame for it with Spellbinders Ovals. I popped up the frame with foam tape.  I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the sentiment.  Then I cut a Cheery Lynn Designs Flourish, trimmed it down and added it to the corner with a tiny little white bow!  I love that flourish, it is so pretty and versatile!

From here I’ll send you on to Sabrina!

Christmas Card Challenge for August

Hi there!  Here are ten cards I made late last night for the Christmas Card challenge at SCS for August!  I used the StampinUp! set called Jolly Old St Nick.  Image is colored with copics.  Eight look like the one up front and you can see a smidgen of the other two behind it.   There is a bit of Stickles too for a little sparkle!  I'm still trying to stay with the CAS technique for easier creating and mailing.  

Thanks for coming by today!!!  

Looking forward to the ODBD Blog Hop on the first!!  Loving the new sets about to be released!!!

See you then!
