Inspired Greeting Card #2

Hi Everyone,

So as I mentioned before, while I was doing laundry I picked up a Pottery Barn magazine from Fall 2006 and saw some room settings that inspired me on making card layouts.  The first picture is of the entire room.  The second picture is the area of the room that inspired me.

It always amazes me where and when inspiration strikes.  For this card I used a piece of paper from Basic Grey's "Stella Ruby" collection on a kraft card stock card base.  I inked around the edges with red pigment ink from Studio G.  I hot glued some silk flowers that I found at Goodwill, and used a piece of white Offray lace ribbon I picked up from Jo-Anns (Options C1 white 3 9ft - 305836).  For the center of the flowers I used a pale green flat back pearl.  And lastly, the sentiment is part of a collection of digital sentiments from Favorite Favors' "Passion Stamps"; it reads "A friend will pray for you, a real friend will pray you through."  Here is the card.

So there you have it.  I have some more inspired cards that I am eager to show you.  Thank you for stopping by and spending some time with me!!!!!!

Until next time.. Keep praying.

Pottery Barn Inspired Greeting Card #1

Oh Happy Day!!

Today is a beautiful day!  Hubs and I attended service and had such an amazing time in the Lord!!  God is so awesome.  The love that the Father has for us is unbelievable.

So, Friday as I was washing clothes I started flipping through a Pottery Barn magazine (from early fall 2006) and my creative juices started to flow.  I am still on a "Thank You" theme but the layout of the furniture in this mag gave me ideas for card layouts.  The first pic is the entire room and the second pic is the part of the room that caught my attention.

 

So here is my card creation based on this room.  This pic made me try something different. I didn't use any designer paper. I used some ivory antique lace, a book silver plate, silver button brads.  I also used white, blue and ivory silk flowers from Goodwill, a vellum phrase from Colorbok vellum quotes and a piece of white card stock.  The base of this card is kraft card stock.  I love how this card came out!!

 

I have a few more inspiration pieces to share with you so bolo (be on the look out).

Thank you so much for spending time with me.  You don't know how much I truly consider it an honor and a blessing!!

SO until next time.. O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!  ~Psalm 107:1
