A rare post...

***WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY...AND WORDY...

...AND A BIT LINK HEAVY...JUST, BE CAREFUL***

Yeah, I know.  I'm hilarious!  It's not rare at all for me to post!  Or to have some crazy warning about lots of photos, etc...BUT it is rare for me to post a handmade card for Word Art Wednesday!  Usually I make a digital print over on my digital artwork blog, My Uni-verse, but this time I've created a special digi to share with you all!  Let's take a look at the EASEL card I made.  That's right.  I finally made one!  Rare post indeed!

Here's the card~

Word Art Wednesday: Jeremiah 29:11

CR84FN: Color Inspiration

Feeling Sketchy: Sketch

Digi Makeover: Easel Card

What do you think of my very first easel card?  I rather like it!  I can't believe I thought it would be too hard for me to try!  If you think this, TRUST ME.  If I can make it, anybody can!!!!  I've used papers by Stampin' Up! and Pink Paislee, ink by SU!, rhinestones from the dollar section somewhere and ribbon from SU!  Oh, and a darling fabric flower by Basic Grey!  AND, I've used the faux pressed flowers technique that was featured last month at Technique Tuesday.  Stop by there tomorrow for a brand spakin' new monthly technique challenge--it's a goodie! 

Oh, I almost forgot, I promised you the free digi!  Yes.  I did!  I made it by me own wee self!  If you fancy it, take it for your own stash! ;)

Here it is~

Thanks for stopping by!  I'll be making a digi print, as well, and posting my thoughts on this scripture over at My Uni-verse.  I hope to see you there, too!  Happy stamping, friends!

I miss my nieces...

I do.  I miss them lots!  So, I decided to make a special card just for them!  I hope they like it--I've used a digi from Sliekje Digi Stamps and you can find it HERE.  All of the digis on this sight are free!!!  And their adorable!  I've also used a digi sentiment that I made by myself.  I'm gonna give it to you free in this post for stopping by!  I appreciate it! :)

Digi Haven: Use a FREE Summer Digi

Digi Makeover: Anything Goes

Always Crafting: Mermaids and Fairies

Daisy Doodles: Anything Goes

I've used some glossy accents on parts of my image.  I don't know why, but as soon as I heard "summer" I thought of using glossy accents!  What do you think?  I think my nieces will love it!  And since it's for someone special, this is a "Spread the L-O-V-E" card as well.

Here's the digi sentiment I promised (jpeg & png file types)~

EDITED TO REMOVE FREEBIE
