♥ With all my heart ♥

Woo-Hoo! It's TGIF!! I hope you all have fun plans for the weekend!! Ours is full of great things...go to the movies to see Turbo...swimming...BBQ'ing...walk the Boardwalk...chillin'! My kind of weekend! Just fun things to do!! I had a photo session with my little one today out by the pool. His 3rd birthday is August 28th and I needed a pic for his B'day invite. I can't believe my baby will be 3!!

I saw this week's Psalm over at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog and thought I would play along! So lovely! I printed it out onto a shabby Photo Frame. Both the photo frame and the gorgeous paper is by Iralamija on Etsy! She has the most gorgeous printables!!

I finished up the card with some seam binding, pearls, lace flower, punched heart and a stick pin.

Have a wonderful weekend!! It is SUPER HOT here!!

♥ Word Art Wednesday GDT ~ Week 4 ♥

Happy Wednesday everyone! Today is my final GDT card for the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog. I had a lot of fun designing this month for them! What a talented group of ladies! Love the Free Word Art/Scripture they have for you to download each and every week. And they always have not 1 but 2 prize sponsors for every challenge!

For this week's card, I used some black and white polka dot paper from the Fancy Pants The Good Life Paper Pad. I framed that beautiful Psalm with the Floral Ovals Nestabilities Dies by Spellbinders. Such gorgeous dies! I also used the Classic Ovals Dies as well.

Then I finished off the card with some paper roses, satin pink ribbon, a Prima Crystal Heart and some White Opal Liquid Pearls.

Don't forget to stop by the Word Art Wednesday Blog every Wednesday for a great challenge, beautiful inspiration and wonderful prizes! A BIG Thank you to Karen for asking me to be a part of this special challenge blog this month! :)

 Have a blessed day!
          

♥ Word Art Wednesday ~ Week 3 GDT ♥

Happy Wednesday my friends! I am so excited to be Guest Designing all this month for the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog! I am having a blast! Just loving the Free Scripture/Word Art all this month! And the DT is so creative! Such beautiful and inspiring work! Remember though, you don't have to use the free word art to play along with the challenge and be in the running for a fabulous prize! But with this week's beautiful Psalm, why wouldn't you want to use it!?! Just visit the Word Art Wednesday Blog to download it for free.

Once again I paired up these beautiful words with some beautiful digi papers and tags from the Iralamija Etsy Shop. I used the Shabby Tickets Collage and the Kraft Ephemera, Sweet Backgrounds and Romantic Backgrounds Papers.

I also used a fabric and paper rose, some die cut leaves, White Opal Liquid Pearls, seam binding, a Prima Crystal Heart and of course some glitter!

Such a beautiful Psalm!

Don't forget to join in the fun at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog! Most of the time there is not just 1 prize sponsor but 2!! Have fun creating!!

 And have a Blessed day!

 

♥ Word Art Wednesday GDT Week 2 ♥

Happy Wednesday folks!! I'm here with a card for my Guest Designer spot on the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog. Just love this week's free scripture on their blog! But remember as beautiful as it is, you are not required to use it to play along! Make sure you check out the fabulous prize you could win too!! :)

I am loving the gorgeous shabby chic papers from the Iralamija Shop on Etsy! I cannot stop using them!! Help! I'm addicted! hehe Isn't that music paper with the roses beautiful?!! All of the papers are here are from the Bella Rose Backgrounds collection from her fabulous shop!

I adhered everything onto a Kraft card base, inked the edges white with a white Gelatos and then added some paper roses, White Opal Liquid Pearls, chunky glitter and some seam binding.

Don't forget to join in on the fun at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog every Wednesday! And if you're looking for inspiration, wait until you see the wonderfully, talented DT's work! ;)

♥ Word Art Wednesday Guest Designer! ♥

Hi there everyone! I am super excited and honored to be Guest Designing all this month at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog! Love the beautiful challenges on there! Every week there is a new Scripture or Word Art on there for you to use. And it's free and downloadable!

Love this week's Scripture/Word Art! I printed it onto a digital tag from the Iralamija Etsy Shop. (I adore her papers and images!) The beautiful papers and sewing embellies are also from her shop.

I paired everything along with some lace, seam binding, button and handmade stick pin with a little spool on it.

I hope you stop by the Word Art Wednesday blog and say hi and play along too!! And wait until you see the lovely creations by the Super Talented WAW DT too!!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you all are doing well! This week my kids are sick-free! Yippe! Me?? Not so much! I have had a sore throat for 2 days now and my head feels like a balloon! What is the deal with all of the summer viruses lately? But as long as my kids are well, that's all I really care about! Except this coming week I need to get ready for my son's 2nd Birthday party next Sunday. I can't believe it's been 2 years since Santino was born! And on the 5th of September, Antonio starts 1st grade! My stomach is already turning with the thought of my baby being in school full time now! I guess I am selfish! I like my babies being home here with me!! ;)

Here's my 2 boys sucking on lollipops. This was Santino's 2nd time having one and he was in his glory!! LOL They make me smile! :)

This card is for the current challenge at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog. Love this beautiful quote by Mother Teresa. What a beautiful and loving woman she was!

I also used some Cosmo Cricket chipboard, seam binding and Liquid Pearls. The beautiful Die Cut is Romantic Rectangles by Spellbinders. Does anyone out there in Blogland have these dies?? They have given me such a hard time! I love Spellbinders dies! There is nothing that compares to them! And I have many of them. But the Romantic Rectangles dies have given me such a hard time. After talking to Karen Haas at Spellbinders CS she told me to try using wax paper in between the die and paper. That helped in removing the paper from the die but now I have to use a paper piercer to remove all the little pieces of paper which is so time consuming. Any tips from anyone??

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I am going to "try" and rest up for the coming week.

hugs...

♥ And let the peace of God... ♥

...rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15

Isn't that beautiful! That is the current Word Art Sentiment at the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog by my sweet friend Karen. As soon as I saw it I had to race upstairs and make a card using it. So very beautiful! I printed it out onto some plain white cardstock and then brushed some pale green chalks over it. It was cut out using a Spellbinders Labels Four Die.

The gorgeous papers are by Prima from the Songbird Paper Pack. Also from the same line is the chipboard bird and wooden heart button. I finished it off with some Liquid Pearls, Lace Trim, pink satin ribbon and some little wooden sticks I cut up to make the nest.

You still have a few hours left to join in on this wonderful challenge! There is not one but two prizes up for grabs including a Freckled Fawn Gift Certificate!! {swoon}

I hope you all have a wonderful night or day! ;)

sweet blessings...
