World Card Making Day, OCC Inspiration Challenge and my new handmade Jewelry!!!

Happy WORLD CARD MAKING DAY!!!

I think this my first year I actually get to participate in this fun event - wahoooooo!!! If you have a chance swing by the Paper Craft Blog Tour and see who else is celebrating this day!!!

I combined my WCMD card with the IC200 over on SCS. I took my inspiration from this Organic Cotton Bag. I thought the Gifts of the Earth Set from Stampin' Up would work really good with this inspiration piece. The awesome layout I'm using is from Mercy's - MTSC41 Sketch. Please click on the card to see it bigger...for some reason this size photo doesn't come up bigger on my screen!?!

The image was inked in Memento Basic Black and colored with Copic Markers.

My card base is Kraft CS and I added some Spring Rain Bitty Box Basic DP in the background. Next I added some Scalloped Laced Ribbon and a panel of embossed Chocolate Chip CS. Right below I adhered the punched out Eyelet Border.

To finish it off I embellished the card with a matching Satin Ribbon and a Wooden Vintage Button.

***********************************************

My next card is for today's OCC Inspiration Challenge. This month Lori is hosting all the Challenges and she is challenging us to use these *Duval journals* as our inspiration pieces!!!


I was immediately drawn to the right journal as it reminded me of this beautiful Grow in Grace Set from Our Daily Bread Designs. My color choice was drawn from the first journal. For the layout I used this weeks Mojo106 Sketch.

The Design Paper is from the Haiku Collection. The image was inked in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with Copic Markers.

For decoration I added some Silver Pearls, a Jumbo Silver Eyelet and the yummy Satin Chocolate Ribbon.

For all the samples please stop by the OCC Blog. Hopefully we have inspired you to play along today?!?!

One more thingy......they Pottery Shop finally called me yesterday to pick up my handmade jewelry I made last weekend - wahooooo!!!

So what do you think??? The inside was a specialty glass and we added a clear glass on top...after it's melted all together......this is the ultimate outcome!!!

The photo doesn't do this Set any justice....it was really hard to take pictures, because they jewelry is so shiny :). I'm definitely have to go back and create some more...this entire Set cost me only $18.90...not bad - huh?!?


Thank you so much for stopping by today!!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and happy stampin'!!!

BTW - my sweet DD Rebecca created a card for today's WCMD too....if you like swing by her blog and tell her what you think of her card.....!!!

Happy October 1st!!!

Oh - how I love this month.....it's my birth month!!! Okay - I'm a little bias...he,he,he!!! There will be sooooo much stuff fun going on this month....so stay tuned :)!!!

But first I would like to share some cards from the new Our Daily Bread Design Release today!!! The DT is holding a BLOG HOP in order to show off the newest October Sets!!!

Just in case you started at my blog first....please go back and start at the ODBD Blog.....and if you are coming from Betty's blog then you are right on track!!!

My first card was created with the beautiful *With Deepest Sympathy* Set.
















I used the layout from this past Saturday's SFYTT Sketch. I flipped it to fit the new image.

The image itself was inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers. I decorated the card with Large Copper Brads, a Jumbo Copper Eyelet and a Chocolate Chip Twill Ribbon.

**********************************************

Next is a card was created with the new *With Heartfelt Sympathy* Set.




















I used the *monochromatic* look from the OCCC this past weekend.

The colors are White and Soft Suede. I again added some Copper Hardware.

*******************************************

My last card is a CAS style........I used the new *Praying for You* Set.




















As you can tell I only used White CS. The Bible Verse was inked in Basic Black and I raised it up with some Stampin' Dimensionals.

I embossed the layered White CS with the Vine Label Folder from QuicKutz and added the Silver Pearls.
