Feelings of Hope 

Gina challenged the CenterStage Spotlight team to make a card with the new Hope is Faith stamp set using  the photo above for inspiration.  Check out Gina's blog for all the details on this special stamp set.

Cards To Share

It has been quite some time since I last posted here.  I've been busy taking care of my Mom who has dementia and who lives with us.  She recently was hospitalized for 5 days with a blood clot in her leg and you know what that means.....running from work, to home, to the hospital then home again.  I was pretty pooped out after those 5 days.  Good news!  She's better and back home.  Now we're doing the Dr. Circuit - 3 appointments this week, 2 next week and on it goes.  Craft time???? There isn't much, but I've squeezed out a little time in for it.

This Thursday, February 18, starting at 10:00 p.m. CST, there will be a Center Stage Spotlight Inspiration Blog Hop with Gina K Design new stamp designed to help the victims of the Haitian earthquake.  For each stamp sold Gina is donating $2.00 to the Red Cross for victim relief of the earthquake.  The awesome stamp is called "HOPE IS FAITH",  I hope you'll stop back tomorrow, or even some time during the weekend and see what everyone has created with this gorgeous stamp set.  


It was Valentine's Day and I wanted to give my hubby a card that would make him smile.  It did the trick and he loved his card.  
  
The stamps are from I Brake For Stamps
The card stock is Pure Luxury White from GKD
Nesstibilities Heart by Spellbinders
Assorted embellishments from stock and the punch is Martha Stewart Heart punch.










I have another card I'd like to show you.  I've been playing with different card types and this one is called Tri-Fold Card.  I'm showing the outside and the inside of the card I made for my daughter-in-law's birthday.  Let me know what you think.

Paper:  GKD Pure Luxury White, Ocean Mist and free digi download

That's it until tomorrow!  I hope you'll be back in the next few days to see the Inspiration Blog Hop creations.
