Retro Sketches #150 with Altenew Vintage Roses From Simon Says Stamp

I used Retro Sketches #150 Sketch to make this card. I just received this stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. It was a birthday present to myself...you know, 

because I never get the clean house I ask for every year :)

 It's from Altenew and it's completely gorgeous. I can't wait to play a little more with it and get my roses just right. I used SSS Wednesday Challenge to create a Valentine/Love Card. I also used my Wink of Stella clear glitter brush to add sparkle to the rose and hearts.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things and the small hearts are from the Sweet Stamp Shop

I love that the Altenew layering stamps are so easy to use and line up.

Have a super crafty day. I've got to go take the recycling into town and buy cheese at Costco. Hahaha.,,super exciting... I know.

Feel Better Sock Monkey

On of Jonah's classmates is very ill. He has been hospitalized and they can't figure out what is wrong with him. I used retro sketches challenge #147 for this card. All of my prayers are going out to this little boy and his family. If you would join your prayers to mine I would be so grateful.

Pray that the doctors can find out what is causing the problem and that he can be healed..

Feel better little one!

Our prayers are with you!

Retro Sketches #98 Make a Wish

Another fun retro sketch to play with.

The samples are so gorgeous. Simple and to the point. Love that this sketch does that.

Have a great weekend and have some super fun!

Retro Sketches #97 Hello Foxy Fox Stamp

Hello there friends! I got crafty with Retro Sketches latest sketch and am pretty happy with the end result ;).

Used my PTI Fox stamp set. I guess I could have used the die too but I totally forgot and hand cut Mr. Fox.

So there you have it. Feelin' Foxy celebrating my birthday weekend.

Stay crafty my friends.

Rustic Wood LOVE Valentine's Day Card

ScrapbookSteals Monday Craft Madness #8 was to do something for Valentine's Day. I , of course, needed a card for my sweet honey. I thought using wood would make it a little more masculine. I also used RetroSketches #45 to start my card off right. :)

I used the Stampin' Up Headline Alpha for "LOVE" with Real Red ink. I then used my white Uniball Signo gel pen to doodle over the letters. Who needs Thickers, right?
Natural twine and a triple heart punch from Stampin' Up and I was done.
The patterned paper is from Basic Grey
Thanks to Scrapbook Steals and Retrosketches for some inspiration!

Birthdays are the Best!

Hey there friends. How is the new year going for you? I know it's only going to get busier but I had a bit of time to craft today after the chores were done. I used Retro Sketches #44 for this card. I love how easy their sketches are to follow. My kiddos go back to school tomorrow and there are a bunch of dental cleanings will be taking care of but for now I want to wish one of my dearest friends a happy birthday. She's one special mama!
Have a super day.
