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

Brown Bag Greeting Card Mini Album

Hi Everyone,

Happy Wednesday!! I pray you are all having a fantastic Wednesday.  Well as I said in my last blog I have been working on lots of "Thank You" gifts.  You can never have too many thank yous!  So anywho, here is my most recent project.  I am also challenging myself to use the paper, card stock, embellies, etc that I currently have before I buy new stuff.  {I soo want to go shopping}  I am having so much fun making these.  They are a cross between my 'Brown Bag Greeting Cards' and a mini album.  Depending on how you construct and design them, these albums hold five or more photos.  This particular one I can add a minimum of 6 photos and I can add more photos via the tags.  So here are the photos:

I used the 'Stella Ruby' 6x6 paper pad from Basic Grey, solid white card stock, Flat back pearls I bought from Ebay, Studio G mini stamp pad -VP0017, a sprig of white silk flowers from Michael's, some Offray ribbon, and 1 leftover $.99 paper-bag I had.

I think these are a great way to use up those extra bag and a great, easy, simple way to say thank you.  And creating these albums take no time at all.  Super Quick!!!

So there you have it.  Thank you all soo much for spending time with me.  I truly consider it an honor and a blessing.  I have some more gifts coming so you can be on the look out (bolo) for them.

Until then...
