What Do I Wait For?

And now Lord, what do I wait for?  My hope is in You.  Psalm 39:7

I tried something today, that I have tried before.  Every time, I have failed.  This time, while it is still not the way I wanted it, it is better than my previous catastrophes!  I am playing in the Mixability challenge on Splitcoast Stampers- April Showers Bring May Flowers.  The challenge was to watercolor.  I am telling you right now, I just cannot get the hang of watercolor!  I tried my best to copy Lydia!  LOL!  The scripture is from ODBD Grace's Hope.  I used Wink of Stella for the first time on each flower and modeling paste for texture in two corners.  Also, I used ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles to emboss a frame.

Thanks so much for looking!  Have a wonderful evening!

Welcome to the April NCC Release Blog Hop!

Good morning! 

Welcome to the North Coast Creations April Release Blog Hop! 

 We are having such a blast with these adorable new sets! 

We know you will love them too!

 Here is my first card again:

I adore this little monkey from the Thanks a Bunch set!!!  Oh my goodness!  How fun!  

I decided to have him holding balloons and sitting on a window sill!  I colored the images with copics and then cut them out with the Monkeys and Bananas dies.  I used quite a few ODBD products here as well.  Boho Bolds Paper Collection, Welcoming Window dies, Window Shutter and Awning dies, Double Stitched Squares dies, Flower Box Fillers dies, Beautiful Borders dies, Happy Birthday dies, Windowsill Candles dies, and Ornate Hearts dies! 

Here is my second card:

Cuteness!!!!   Oh my goodness y'all!  Fairies!  This set is Love You Fairy Much.  I colored the images with copics and cut them out with the Fairies Dies.  The paper is ODBD Boho Bolds again.  I made a frame with ODBD Lavish Layers.  And the 'grass' is cut with  the ODBD Leafy Edged Borders dies.  I added sparkle with Stickles to complete the card.  

Here are the supplies I used for my projects today:

ODBD Boho Bolds	Welcoming Window Dies	Window Shutter and Awning Dies
Flower Box Fillers Dies	Windowsill Candles Dies	Happy Birthday Dies
Beautiful Borders Dies	Leafy Edged Borders Dies	Ornate Hearts dies

Framed Quilt With Love

Good morning!  

Today I am playing in the SCS Free for All Challenge #320 to use Red and Teal!  I used papers from the ODBD Americana Quilt Collection and the ODBD Boho Bolds Paper Pad.  I cut the out the Star Quilt Die three times with the teal, red quilt print and white and then pieced it together to get t a pleasing pattern.  I cut off the four corners of the quilt and added the extra four white corners to make new corners for a rectangular shape.  I framed it with two ODBD Rectangles using an ODBD Lavish Layer as the back.  This panel is mounted to an ODBD Double Stitched Rectangle and the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern die cut.  I masked off a sentiment from the Quilted Family and Friends set and cut it out with an ODBD Mini Tags Die.  I added a tiny white bow to complete the card!  

Here are the ODBD products used today:

ODBD Star Quilt Die	Quilted Family and Friends	Lavish Layers Dies	Mini Tag Dies
Rectangles Dies	Double Stitched Rectangles Dies	Flourished Star Pattern Dies

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope you have a fantastic Friday!
