CVSC8 and CCS Blog Candy!!!

When I saw the sketch Laura has on her blog this week I knew just what I wanted to do... I grabbed by favorite Sentiment Single: Motherhood and created this quick card using Kraft, Fresh Asparagus and Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety. I threaded the buttons with Natural Burlap String.

I have some special Creative Clear Stamps Blog Candy to give away... This super cute set Hello Hunny could be yours...just leave me a comment on this post by Wednesday 10 pm EST and I will post a randomly drawn winner on Thursday :o) Winner will have 2 days to contact me with mailing info or the next name will be drawn.
Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!

CCS Design Team Farewell....

I wanted to use a favorite Sentiment Single from Creative Clear Stamps as my final posting as a Design Team member for Creative Clear Stamps and could think of nothing more appropriate than Motherhood... I paired it with a some patterned paper from Fancy Pants Designs called The Daily Grind. The Lord has provided us with true gifts in our children and there is not a better job in the world than "Motherhood."

Before I go...I just need to say that I have so enjoyed designing for Creative Clear Stamps! Laura is just the best and is so easy to work with and most generous with her Design Team! I have been impressed with the great quality of her clear stamps and the service she provides is outstanding. It has truly been a privilege and one in which I know I have grown creatively.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Blessings,

Motherhood

Do you think the Motherhood sentiment from Creative Clear Stamps is my favorite? I seem to be drawn to it and use it all of the time....

The sketch for the card came from Stamping Sisters for Christ Challenge and I just loved the circle for a focal sentiment and of course was just drawn to this Motherhood sentiment. I used the Basic Grey June Bug designer paper with Real Red and Pink Pirouette cardstock. I added a couple of pink brads along the top and a threaded button along the bottom layer which was cut at an angle. This sentiment is so beautiful....

Being a mother in and of itself is a huge job and one we should thank the Lord for every day. The time we have with them is so precious.... I just wish they wouldn't grow quite so fast. You may wonder why I am thinking this way...well, my oldest turns 13 next week and I am amazed how the nearly 13 years have flown by! :o) She is thrilled to be getting older, but her daddy and I still see a little girl with pig tails carrying her Bitty Baby everywhere....

Blessings,

Motherhood

This was a quick card I put together using the Motherhood stamp from the Sentiment Singles line at Creative Vision. I used the new Basic Grey Lemonade 6x6 pad. I added a few matching buttons along the bottom right to tie it all together. I just love these sweet sentiment stamps from Creative Vision. I just found out another dear friend of mine is going to be having another little blessing soon (yep, a different friend than the mom of nearly 7) so I will be sending this to her. It seems quite a few ladies I know are expecting little bundles of joy soon, just so exciting! and just so you know, there will be no more here....I am D-O-N-E, too old to do that again! LOL! :o)

Speaking of which...I have a birthday coming up soon and will be offering some fun blog candy... so be sure to check back!

Limelight Sketch Challenge #26

There is another great sketch this weekend over at Limelight Papercrafts and I had the perfect stamp to use....this new sentiment single from Creative Vision called Motherhood.  I just love this phrase and was so glad that Laura sent it to me in my package of stamps for August...Oh, that's right, it's not August yet, but I just couldn't resist. :o)  

I hope you have a great Saturday!  I am off to a Stamp&Scrap Art show in Winston-Salem with dear friends and we are even going to the Enchanted Cottage...talk about a dreamy stamping/scrapbooking store!!! Oh, my that place can do some damage to the wallet :o)

Enjoy your weekend!
