another MFTWSC214 card "THERE IS SUNSHINE IN MY SOUL FOR YOU"

While flipping through my dies last night I spotted this Sun Rays die from MFT and thought I'd make a card using it and this week's sketch.    After I made it, I had thought for another card that I might be able to get to today.. where I use the Sun Die to put on the circle portion of the top layer and the same stamp set.    I like the way this one turned out, but last night the creative juices were flowing and I seen the other card.. haha.  

Happy Sunday to everyone!  Today I am feeling much better .. after 4 days of antibiotics.  I'm going to take the whole prescription so nothing lingers around and I end up sick again.

Here is the sketch I used: MFTWSC214

Supplies:

card stock:  black, MFT Yellow, white
ink: MFT Hybrid Black ink
stamps:  MFT Cheerful Blessings

I traveled to Louisiana to be with my oldest son who had Small Bowel Restructure surgery.      The best part was when the doctor came in and said that as of that day he was Crohn's Free!!! yeah!!!  We both traveled back home this past week. He is doing wonderful.

Card Relay "HELLO ~ PI GIRL" Shaker Card

I am a part of a Stamping Group on Facebook and had signed up for a Card Relay. The "theme" was do so something that was "out of the box". I hadn't made a shaker card in a while.. or at least longer than I could remember.. haha

I used a cute My Favorite Things Pure Innocence image from a set called Making A List. I paper pieced her dress.   For the shaker I die cut the banner that is from an My Favorite Things Die-namics Blueprints set. I used a "Hello" die from Lawn Fawn.   The shaker stuff is some fake snow and some star sequins.  I had a lot of fun making this and am happy to be able to post it now that the recipient has received it.

I am going out of town for a while to be with my son who is having surgery.  Since I couldn't fit much in the way of card making in my suitcase.. I have instead stuffed it with skeins of yarn and am going to make a bunch of scarves while I am there to give away when I get back.
