Just a quick little message for today from me and Sweet 'N Sassy stamps! You're going to make it--the weekend is almost here....life is tough, but you are tougher and the One Who Created You is covering you!
Stop, Drop and Pray! Also available immediately in digital form.
Same stamp, two completely different looks. The second card also features an embossed background I created using Scribble Flowers. I used distress inks and some daubers to color the heat embossed images.
Be blessed--Jane

My Favorite Things
The pink balloon is a shaker...yes, I need some practice in the sewing department, but I think it was pretty good first attempt. It always makes me happy when I can bring out my little Janome' machine--even happier when I actually manage a reasonable stitch!
My Favorite Things. Check it out!
Have a great day--Jane

No Words....
Happy Monday! The recent holidays have been great and an excellent reminder of how precious family and friend time is. I've had several opportunities to spend time with my parents in the last few weeks. That doesn't always happen as we live a distance apart. Distance and busy are my constant enemies!
I wanted to get some of the new releases from Sweet 'N Sassy stamps inky so, I made this card for my parents to let them know how much I value them and our time together. The sentiment, from Thoughtful Words, continues to the inside and reads (in full) "No words can describe how thankful I am for you."
The central image comes from the Through The Trees set. You can pre-order this set right now! I started by stamping the birch tree image on water color paper and then adding some sky and grass water colors. I framed the tree image with cardstock that I cut an oval out of and then added some stenciling. I sponged some and then added a bit more with a paint brush--it got kind of splotchy, which I think looks cool.
After stamping the sentiment, I added a bird (a heron, I think--of the great blue variety?) from the January Stamp of the month set, Scene Silhouettes: Wetlands. It's kind of an earthy card--I think my folks will love it!
Have yourself an inky kind of day :) TTFN, Jane

Sweet Trees
Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps recently released Scene Silhouettes: Trees (and a few other wonderful sets) that has me a little outside of my comfort zone. Today, I'm sharing round one. I've stuck mostly to the barren tree and evergreen--consistent with the season. It's -12 here today so, the full trees of spring & summer are just going to have to wait....but, here's the full set and then, some inspiration:
These two cards also feature the new Thoughtful Words set. See below for a look at the whole set.
The "happy birthday" sentiment is found in the Keep In Touch, Too.
Enjoy the New Year, be crafty!
