Guest Design spot for Die Cuttin' Divas!

How exciting to be a Guest Designer for the Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge!  This week the challenge is a sketch and I love the sketch they are using:

and here's my take on it:

All papers and the lacy medallion are printed and cut with the Imagine cartridge "Lori's Garden".  The medallion is mounted on a Just Rite lacy circle stamp, which is then on a Spellbinders Lacy Circle cut.  I added a few gems and strip of ribbon.  Inside I used a sympathy stamp from My Sentiments Exactly.

Be sure to head over to Die Cuttin' Divas and check out all the great inspiration there and join us!

Sing Your Song

 Hello!  Happy Grandparent's Day!

I have a card to share today that's really a different style for me.  What do you think?  I used my Gypsy to make a card base and welded a birdcage shadow to the edge.  The shadow cut is from Serenade cartridge. 

This is how the card looks laying flat.  I added a strip of lace from a bag of goodies a friend gave me.  I  distressed the edges with rose pink and antique linen.  As you can see I need some practice on that!  :)This sentiment is my own and computer generated.  The lables are Just Rite Floral Ovals.  The charm is from my stash. 

Here is another version of the card with a sentiment from Just Rite stamps.  I may use this for a friend who will be moving.  I also added another strip of the ribbon across the lace.

This stamp is from the Christmas Wishes set.  Obviously this isn't a Christmas card, but I really like the font.

 The birdcage and bird are from Lori's Garden Imagine cartridge.  I used all the layers and changed the papers from blue to pink.  I had some fun playing with that!  I'm still pretty much a novice with the Imagine. 

Anyway, I'm please with how it turned out.  I hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!
