She Believed...

 Two cards in one night, you ask?  Yes!  The physical inspiration for this card comes from this sketch at  Create With Connie And Mary.  The emotional inspiration has come from two of my good friends, Ellen and Glynis.  (Check out their inspirational and artistic blogs) They have believed in me in so many ways, for so many years; starting this blog and creating my own cards was just two of them.  So, this card is for them.  Thank you for believing I could do this.  

You even made a believer out of me.  

Love you both!

 

 Here is their sketch:

Stampin' Supplies:

Stamps:  Feel Goods

(I used a very narrow strip of midnight muse cardstock for the button holes.  Originally learned this from Mary Fish)

Perfect Baby!

Hello Everyone!

I finally found some creative mojo today, so I'm ready to share my creation with you.   This sketch from sketch frenzy friday was my inspiration, and I needed a baby girl card for a shower I am attending on Sunday.  I really liked the results and I hope you like it also and gain some creative inspiration too.   Enjoy some stamping time this upcoming weekend.

 blessings,

Quilted Friendship

Hello!  My latest card is a take on sketch challenge #130 over at The Paper Players.  It's a quick and easy card...it even has an easy going feel about it, I think.  Warm, like the quilt designer paper.  :) 

I hope you enjoy the card today and try your hand at a sketch this week too.  

happy stamping,

barb
