Hello Delightful Friends!

Time for our Anything Goes Challenge at Word Art Wednesday!

Our sponsor this week is Stamp Simply, who has been a faithful sponsor over the years. (Thank you so much for your support!) Be sure and check out their blog for some outstanding inspiration!  

I've used a sentiment from the Seasonal Wreath set (Spring & Summer) and Fishtail Sentiment Banner from our Sponsor's collection. I love this sentiment "find the beauty in every day" perfect sentiment to encourage someone. Sometimes we just need a reminder to "smell the roses" and to "look on the bright side".

Here is my card:

Word Art Wednesday - Divinity Designs

Hello Delightful Friends!

Spring is just a few days away, HOORAY! I'm looking forward to the warmer weather, although here where I live, Springtime is still cold with wind & rain but at least it's not freezing ⛅⛈ but you must always carry an umbrella!

I have two of my granddaughter's playing softball and we still have to bundle up until late May. The coastal areas are always about 10 degrees cooler than where I live.

It's time for another challenge with Word Art Wednesday and our sponsor this time is Divinity Designs.  The prize is $25 to be used in their online store.  I've used their Scripture stamp on my card this time, rather than using the Scripture Art available this week through WAW.  This stamp is from the Scripture Collection #4 (it includes 6 Scriptures in this set) check out the monthly new releases and the talented Design Team.  

In order to win the sponsor prize, you'll need to share your crafty project (Anything Goes - Family Friendly) at Word Art Wednesday, you can share up to 5 new projects per week of the challenge (2 week challenge)

Here is my card:

Scripture Art available to upload at Word Art Wednesday (I may put this on the inside of the card)

Other ingredients:

If the stenciling looks familiar, you can see it in my last post, it is one of the quads that was not completed.  I was so glad the Scripture Stamp fit in the space; I couldn't plan it any better!

The die featured is from Pink Fresh (Stitch Scallop Rectangle)

Paper: Taylored Expressions - Bleu Cheese, Sugar Cube

Ink: Mint Julep, Spearmint, Dried Fig, Salt Water Taffy & Oreo (Taylored Expressions)
