Know in Your Heart You Are Loved

Happy Sunday!! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! We are supposed to be hit by a major storm, including possible tornado conditions, so I'm trying to get this post in before it hits.

The card I'm sharing with you today is the one I made for my Mom to give my Dad for their anniversary a couple of days ago :)

The papers for this card are from Prima's Engraver stack. The base is a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die. It was covered with a strip of burlap ribbon from Hobby Lobby. The next layer is a Spellbinders Adorning Squares die. It was attached with brass brads...my way of adding bling to a masculine card...I have such trouble with them :)

The hearts are Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Hearts and Classic Hearts. The hearts were cut with the same paper and lined up then popped up for dimension. A Tim Holtz Word Band was added to the bottom. I covered it with white paint and then wiped it off so it stayed in the engraved words. It too was attached with brass brads.

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

1. Little Scrap Pieces - Anything Goes
2. DL.Art - November Linky
3. Funday Friday Challenge - Anything Goes
4. Sunday Funday - November Linky
5. Just B Creative Crazy - November Linky

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Decorate to Celebrate # 42 - Any Themed Party

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a great week!! It's time for a Decorate to Celebrate challenge. For Challenge #42, we are asking you to create any project to be used as a party decoration (or party supply) for any themed party!! Let's celebrate everything wonderful about birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations and more (any party with any theme) with your table decorations, party banners, pennants, yard signs, cupcakes, party favors and more :)

For my party themed decorations, I created origami picture frame holders as party favors. You can take a picture during the party and then slide it in over the polka dot paper for a party keepsake. The papers are from Glitz Laced With Grace paper stack. It takes four of the same size of paper for the origami folds (I used 4x4). It's been a while since I learned this fold and it took me several tries before I got it right. Once each piece is folded, the ends slide together to form the frame. The butterfly is a Spellbinders Fanciful Flight die, adorned with gems from Recollections and popped up with foam tape for dimension.

The sentiment tag is a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Word Band.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge - Anything Goes
2. Sunday Funday #5 - Anything Goes

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Decorate to Celebrate to see the amazing projects my talented design team sisters have created for today's challenge. Then link up your Any Party Theme project...I can't wait to see what you create :)
