Give Thanks and WINNER!!

Happy Friday, everyone!! I hope you are having a great week!! I have a winner to announce from the Wonderful Wilderness Blog Hop, but first, I have a card to enter into a few challenges :) I am trying to get this posted before a major storm hits. We are under a tornado watch until early evening.

All of the paper is from The Paper Studio Uptown Flair stack. I inked all of the edges with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I used a Spellbinders border die for the scallop under the lace.

The label is a Spellbinders Label 10. The oval in the front is from George and Basic Shapes. I cut one of the flowers from the background paper for decoration and added crystals to the center of all the flowers.

I have no idea who the flower stamp is from. I bought them a while ago - before I started blogging. Since I keep all my clear stamps in a binder, I threw the package away. I used both Victorian Velvet and Forest Moss distress ink on the stamps. "In everything give thanks" is from K Andrew Designs Scripture Sayings stamp set:

Live The Life You Want!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!! I hope you are having a great day!! Are you getting ready to watch the big game?? It is being played about an hour away from me, so it has pretty much been Super Bowl hype around here for two weeks :) I don't really care who wins...though I would like Eli Manning to win since his brother Peyton is my all-time favorite player :)

Before the game starts, I spent a little time in my craft room today and I have a card to enter into a few challenges.

For this card I used my current favorite paper, My Mind's Eye from the Lost and Found stack. I inked all of the edges with Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I used an EK Success punch for the pink background paper and the edge of the music paper. The music paper was white, and I inked it with Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose Distress Ink. "Live the Life You Want" is from K Andrew Designs Positive Thoughts stamp set. Click HERE to purchase this set!!

For the tag with the Eiffel Tower, I stitched the edges with my Sew Crafty machine. I just ordered a new mini-sewing machine and I can't wait to use it and get rid of the little cheap thing. It is barely a step up from stitching by hand! I cut the scalloped rectangles from Designer's Calendar. The postage stamp and post card stamps are from TPC Studio. "Je t'aime" is a K Andrew Designs stamp from the I Heart You stamp set. Click HERE to purchase your own set!!

On the pullout, I used a Tim Holtz clock stamp, and "XOXO" from K Andrew Designs It's Valentines stamp set. Click HERE to order this set or to see her entire line of fabulous stamps!

The inspiration for this card is from the Crop Stop Challenge, to use numbers and this sketch:

I am entering the card at the following challenges:

1. Crop Stop Challenge #56 - Numbers + Becky Fleck Sketch
2. Little Scrap Pieces - Use Pink
3. DL.Art Thankful Thursday - Anything Goes
4. Cardz TV Challenge #5 - Tickled Pink

My friend Denise from LaLa's World, attended CHA last week and snapped this awesome pic for me:
