Card Full of Thanks and belated Congrats to my team!

Hello again Delightful Friends and Family,
I am supposed to be doing some work around the house instead of posting a card! Just couldn't help myself when I saw this sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #192!  Easy peasy and I was wanting to try this stamping technique using different "thank you" stamps.  Hope you like my results!

Stamps: Paper Smooches; Dies: Spellbinder Nestabilities Oval (scallop and regular) and Lawn Fawn Stitched leaves. Ink: Hero Arts Shadow Ink in Field Greens mid-tone and Archival Jet Black

Base: Neenah Desert Storm, Bazzill Card Stock, not sure about the maker of the designer paper, it was in a Key Ingredient Kit from Taylored Expressions a couple of years ago.

Christmas Tags 2013

Hello Delightful Friends and Family

I shared yesterday that I made 30 tags for our Ladies Ministry's Christmas Luncheon and I thought I would share my favorites over the next few days as time allows.   So, here are two different tags  featuring a tree.  One is a special fold called Falala tree fold and I saw it on Pinterest and you can find it on my Christmas Board.  The second tree is a die from Taylored Expressions.  Both sentiments are Lawn Fawn stamps from the Peace, Joy, Love set.  

I've dyed all the ribbon with either Distress Stains and Distress Inks, Perfect Pearl Sprays and Dylusions Ink Spray those inks were also used for the background colors on each tag.  Other ingredients: Memento Rich Cocoa and Northern Pine Inks; Tiny Twinkles (rhinestones), Stickles; The Craft Tags are #8 size manila tags from Ranger (6.25"x 3.25") 

I'm entering my tags at Try Stampin' on Tuesday (Holiday Tag-Stravaganza)

Thanks for visiting!!  Have an excellent day.

I have a wonderful verse to share:

Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation.  Psalm 68:19

What a blessing to know that the Lord daily bears our burdens!  

He is ever faithful.
