Guest Designer Day: Welcome Kari Sanchez

Good morning all :)


Today I have the privilege to share with you another one of my uber talented friends. Kari (like Lynne from my first Guest Designer spot), has become a close friend of mine. It is an amazing phenomenon that you can live hundreds of miles apart and still have a close friendship. I am very blessed to call these women my friends and sisters in my heart (and Christ as well). So with no further adieu, please welcome Kari:

Hello Friends!

Today I am doing a hop and a guest spot! Susan from Susana's Scrappin Corner is someone I met on FB a while back and we have gotten to know each other and realized we have a lot in common.  Susan and I have become great friends and sisters in Christ.  Thanks Susan for letting me be your guest today...it was a crazy day trying to get stuff finish...especially when I am not 100% so it was hard to focus lately...hehe...but I made it through and I have a wonderful card I made as her guest so check it out!

I just love fall...it is my favorite season...sigh...the crisp air, the leaves changing color, and football games! and so much more...  :) 

I used my cream cardstock and then I inked it up on the edges with brown ink pad with a dauber and then I stamped with my CTMH stamp the "Blessings" and then I used a marker to make the wavy marks...and then I pasted the soft suede brown ribbon and then put my fall flowers that I have and put them in the middle of the ribbon and double it up and then used my gems and glue them in the center.

Thanks for stopping by again....I wish you a "Happy Fall" and have fun enjoying the wonderful season! :)

In His Love,
Be Inspired,
Kari

Thanks Kari for being guest designer on my blog and for being my friend :) I encourage you to drop my Kari's blog, PurpleFuntastick Creations and give her some bloggie love. Well, all I am off and running today as I have a medical test to get done, babysit for a friend's sons (shout out to Matthew and Christian ) and Back to School Night for my daughter. I have to fit creating in there somewhere also. So, until next time...

There is nothing that says Fall to me than the leaves changing and pencils for back to school. So I chose to incorporate both in my projects for today. For the hop today, I've created two cards and a box to hold them. Here are the pics:

This little guy just makes me smile

This is going to be a thank you card for my parents

This paper reminded me of gourds that I like to buy after a hay ride.

Happy Hopping....

Upcoming events....

Evening all (well it is almost morning already). I was busy this evening working on a layout for Pencil Lines. I will let you know when it posts. I had so much fun with it. Please check out the blog and come play along with us.


Tomorrow I need to work on two digital stamping projects that will also be for a new company that I am working with. More details to follow as well.


I have a few hops that are coming up soon. The newest one that I want to announce is Memories in Tyme's All About Fall blog hop. 

This will take place on September 15th. I have my projects done already as I am trying to get ahead of myself :) If you check the right side of my page, you will see the other hops that I am participating in. I plan on participating as much as possible because creating keeps me sane.


Also, don't for get that Her Craftiness (aka Lynne) and I are co-hosting a blog hop for my birthday on September 3rd. There will be a fantastic line up and I got all my supplies to work on my project. I cannot wait to start working on it.

I hope that this post finds you all well and feeling very creative. Until next time....
