Hi Everyone!

I have 2 cards to share with you today.

The first is my sample card for the Paper Take Weekly's "Anything Goes" challenge with the option of adding lace. I didn't add lace because I forgot but it was an "option" after all so I am good! ;)

I guess I have been under a rock because this is my very first "Lili Of The Valley" card. I have always loved seeing what others create with their pretty images but am usually so busy creating with my design team images, that I seldom use non-design team stuff. Since LOTV is sponsoring PTW this week...I got to play! :)

 The image is called "Best Friends" and it is one of LOTV's newest releases. It is watercolored.

The papers are Heavenly White, and Amethyst Mica Metallic from The Paper Temptress.

The beautiful ribbon is Turquoise Satin Shimmer from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The jewels are Clear Gradient Gem Stickers from Creative Charms that I colored with Copic markers to match my paper and ribbons.

The pretty roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I am entering this card in the Lili Of The Valley "New Beginnings" challenge. My new thing is that pretty image and the fact that I am new to using LOTV stamps!  ;)
I am also entering it in the following challenges:
My Time To Craft ~ "Brand Spankin' New"

Paper Sundaes ~ "Something New"

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday ~ "Use Flowers"

Stamp Something ~ "With Glitter"

One Stop Craft Challenge ~ "New Beginnings"

Tuesday Throwdown  ~ "Add Embossing"

My second card is for my sweet friend Katie, a young mother, wife, and fellow design team sister, who  has just recently been diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. Her friends in the Clear Dollar Stamps team have started a card drive for her. Please visit the Clearly iStamp blog to view some of our cards for her, leave her an encouraging message, and to see how you can join us in letting her know that she is loved and supported by many.

Funny...I made these cards over a week apart and didn't realize until I loaded the picture on this page that I used the exact same papers, ribbon, and a WOC's flower on this one too! I didn't even think about them posting on the same day. Guess you know what my fave supplies de'jour  were! LOL!

The image is from Clear Dollar Stamps ~ "Every Day Jar-Gon" set.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

One of my "New Years" resolutions is to leave more comments on my friend's blogs.

Hope it's one of yours too! *hint* *hint*  ;)

Hugs,

True :D
