You're My Anchor

Well, happy Monday and hope everyone had a fun St. patrick's Day!

I had a super day with friends and family. My grandchildren had a blast on the hunt for gold that I set for them. I had them running all over the house to find the next clue until they finally arrived at their treasure. Good times were had!

I have a card to share today that I created for Freshly Made Sketches!

I inked up a cool new stamp I received from Unity. Then I had this brilliant idea that I would cut small slits and run my twine following the rope on the image. Well... didn't realize how difficult that was going to be, along with how time consuming. But, it does look ok.

A close up so you can see the twine:

Supplies used: card stock - vanilla, blue; patterned paper by Websters Pages; stamp - Anchored by Unity; ink - Tuxedo Black by Memento; button, twine - my stash.

If My Words Had Wings.....

Gosh the weekend just flew past, didn't get everything done I wanted to but isn't that always the way?
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!!!

I'd like to share a card with you today that I made for Operation Write Home, using one of their sketches.

The stamp was the inspiration for this card. I thought the sentiment was perfect for a soldier writing home. I chose the air balloons paper to go with the sentiment.

And here was the sketch:

Supplies used: cardstock - cream, brown; patterned papers in Postcards From Paris by Websters Pages; stamp by Dawn Houser for Inkadinkado; ink - Jet Black by Archival Ink and Cocoa by ColorBox; Pop Dots.
