Hello everyone!! I’m here today with Waffle Flower Crafts New Photo Challenge!! The colors for this challenge are so pretty. I was in awe when I say the colors. They are so deep and very rich!
I thought long and hard about what I wanted to create using these colors. It had to be meaningful because the colors called for it. So I decided that I wanted to use the new DT Mix Stamp Set.
The sentiment ” You Will Forever Be My Always”, has a deep sentimental meaning in the corners of my heart. I have a small story for you, you might need a tissue. So get ready.
A couple of years ago before my daughter was born, her father and I use to listen to the radio in the car all the time. There was one song that use to come on all the time. It was a country song by a women I didn’t recognized.
At first we didn’t realize that song played each and every time we were in the car together. One evening he picked me up from work and the song was on and I asked him if he knew what the name of the song was or who sang the song. We loved the song but didn’t know the name of it. So right there and then, I called that radio station to find out who sang the song and the name.
The DJ said it was Forever And For Always by Shania Twain. He asked me if I wanted to hear it and I said yes, and dedicated it to Ray! That song became our song. He always said we will be together “forever and for always”, because “we just fit”.
December 25, 2005 we found out that we were going to have a baby, on December 28, 2005 he died from cardiovascular disease. He never did get chance to see our daughter who is going to 9 this year, but he did keep his promise. He is with me through her “Forever and for Always”!
So I made my card in memory of him!
Take a look:
Thanks Tessa for creating that sentiment just for me! I love how this card turn out. Its a CAS card with a lot of sophistication.
For this card, I used Mama Elephant’s Make a Wish stamp set to create my birthday card. I used Stampin’ Up! postage punch to create my shaker card. I decided to use gold and red because these colors are perfect for an elegant birthday party.
So what do you think? Will Darnell like this card? I hope so!
Hello everyone! I’m back again today for the third time. Can you tell I’m having fun!!! Yes, I was up late last night playing around with my stamp supplies in my little stampin corner. I created a couple of watercolor backgrounds and I knew I need to use one of them for my next card.
I’m here this evening with CASology. They are celebrating their 100th challenge and all of the friendships they’ve made throughout this time. I wanted to join in on this celebration so I created a card celebrating them!
So the cue word is CELEBRATE!! So fitting for this great accomplishment.
Here is my clean and simple card:
I love how the gold matches the watercolor background. I decided to use black ink for the sentiment because I wanted it to stand out from the background.
What do you think?
Supplies used:
I also used Stampin’ Up!’s Retired Primrose Petal re-inkier to create my watercolor background.
