Ribbon and Pearls

Hello there my friends.  I hope y'all are enjoying your Friday.  Kierstynne is getting ready to go to her great grandmother's for the night so it's almost time for me time.  I did manage to get a card done earlier today.

I tried my hand at making a new kind of bow for this card.  I love the way it came out.  It's very simple actually. You take a length of ribbon the size of the bow you want to make and glue the ends together.  Take another smaller length of ribbon and wrap it around the middle securing it in the back.  That's it.  How simple is that, right?

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great day.  God bless y'all.

You Strike My Fancy

Howdy ho neighbors.  Do you guys remember Mr. Roger's Neighborhood?  I loved that show when I was a kid.  I wish they would show reruns of that and Captain Kangaroo.  Those were my two favorites when I was young.  Kierstynne would get a kick out of them.

Today's card follows the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I'm not too good at clean and simple cards.  I have noticed that most of the winners and the projects the DT makes are all CAS.  So, I thought I would give it a whirl.

I used a set of digi stamps from Sweet and Sassy to make this card.  It took me about 10 minutes to make this one.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have been able to spend lots of time in your craft rooms this week.  Have a wonderful day and God bless y'all. 

If you have any questions, please leave me a comment. :)

Ike's World # 9 Challenge

Hello there my friends.  Welcome back to my little piece of cyberland.  I'm so happy to see ya.

Today's card was created for the new Ike's World Challenge.  It's an Anything Goes challenge plus there is a freebie on the blog if you don't have any of her art.

I used the carnation from the Spain Collection.   I think it's very pretty and feminine.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I have a question.  For those of you who come to see me all the time, do you like the new way I have been posting, with the recipe below?  Or do you like the way I was doing it last year by explaining how I made the card?  Let me know which you like better.

Have a truly blessed day.
