Our theme today at Eureka Stamp Challenge is Inspirational. I used digi11002 and digi14503 to make this card for a friend and her husband. He was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The only thing I can do is pray for them and send encouraging cards.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you over at Eureka Stamps Challenge. God Bless You!!!! Peggy
I just got back from an evening out with Donna & two of her friends. I guess I can call them my friends too. We always have such a good time. Although I don't know why they invite an older woman along. I'm glad they do.
I have another Lily card for you today. It was drawn by Anne Fenton. She sent it to all the participants in the last Outlaws Creative Freebie Challenges. It's a very simple digi but so expressive.
Card Recipe:
5"X6.5" card base.
Background Papers - DCWV Lemon Pepper
Digital Image - Lily by Anne Fenton
Frame - Cut From the Stamping Cricut Cartridge
Border & Butterfly punched with MS punches
Promarkers used to color digi:
Lily - Tulip Yellow, Primrose
Stamen - Gold
Stickles added for glitter effect.
Again thank you for stopping by our blog. Donna & I are struggling with the decision to continue our blog. As long as we felt like we were being an inspiration, it was easy to continue posting our creations. However, in the past year, the evidence we are reaching others has declined. Most posts only warrant one comment, if that. Please pray with us about this decision. It takes a lot of time to get projects ready to post and then to write them up. If we're not reaching or touching others, there's no point in going to all that trouble. So thank you for your prayers and input. God Bless You!!! Peggy
This pretty digi was drawn by Anne Fenton who provided it as a freebie to be used in the Creative Freebie Challenge going on at the Outlaws. Click here to find out about it. I made this card for a friend's upcoming birthday.
Card Recipe:
5"X 6.5" card base

Martha Stewart Punches
CTMH Happy Birthday Stamp
Ribbon
Promarkers used to color Calla Lilys

I used Pebbles chalk to shade the paper the lilys are on, although it doesn't see to show up in my picture.
Thank you for stopping by today. We look forward to your comments. God Bless You!!! Peggy
The card I want to share with you today is one I made using one of the free digistamps provided to us by the talented artist Anne Fenton at the Outlaws Challenges. Her name is Rapunzel. Remember that fairy tale? The freebie challenge lasts for two weeks. If you participate in this one, you will be sent new digis for the next one. Here is my version of Rapunzel.
This card is very simple & easy to make. The background paper is from a Recollections paper stack from Michael's. I just cut a 4.25X5.5" piece, tied a ribbon around the top and popped Rapunzel on top. The paper is so festive, it doesn't need a lot of embellishment. I will wait until I get ready to send it out before stamping a greeting. Promarkers used to color digi:
Face/Skin - Coral, Sun-kissed Pink, Blush, & Baby Pink
Hair - Burnt, Sienna, Walnut, Cinnamon, Satin
Dress - Lime Green, Lime Zest
Bow - Pear Green, Lime Green
Thank you for stopping by today. Be sure to follow and leave a comment to be eligible for our prize. God Bless You!!!! Peggy
Anne Fenton of Outlawz Challenges sent me two free digis to be used in the Freebie Challenge. I colored both of them today but only got one of the cards completed. I plan to finish the other in the morning as the challenge ends June 1. There will be another challenge starting June 2. This is the card I completed.
