Nature's Blessings

  Hello all. Today's card is another example of the new products at Make Time To Create. The papers are so endearing and peaceful. The black roses and the little characters hovering over the gardens. This paper has a lot of possibilities. There are several different sections on the paper giving you different themes to work with. The black paper at the bottom with pink designs is so elegant and just begged to be put together with the lace and the black accents on the Prima paper. The brads are from My Minds Eye and fit really well with the chipboard underneath them. I have decided to leave the chipboard blank until I send it leaving my options open on what type of card it will be. This is a 6"x 6" card so it does take more postage to send it but I love working with the square cards. It has more room and seems to balance out well. The chipboard comes with 4 different boards with lots of different images that go with several of the new papers at the shop. It is so easy to use and looks beautiful to me. Come join us in some of the classes or at the late creates on Friday evening. That is where I made this card and had wonderful company also. Best thing is I get to see what others create and get inspired. Until next time.

Products Used:

Prima Paper - Almanac Safter

Chipboard - Jodi Lee - Nature Garden

My Minds Eye Brads  - Stella Rose

Sun Kisses

  Sun Kiss is the name of some of the new paper Make Time to Create has in their store. It is so warm, just like a kiss from the Sun. The name fits. Pretty sunflowers, butterflies and bees. You can't help but be inspired by the paper and accessories that go with it. Dolly and Mary have really outdone themselves with the products they have ordered in the last weeks. Not just the paper but chipboard, tags, little miniature clothes pens  and stamps that all coordinate. You have to go experience their store.
  This card reminds me of my daughter. So sweet and caring and lots of natural sunshine. It won't be long and she will be off to college and this card will be perfect to send. Below are the products I used from Make Time To Create, Newburgh, IN. Come back and see the next line of paper - Almanac I will be blogging about. Enjoy your day and send a card out to left up a soul.

  What a great weekend. The beautiful sunny days and warm but not hot weather. I got a lot accomplished this weekend in the yard and inside our home. The sun just makes you want to do something.
  Quick update on Olivia's trip to China. They have been to the great wall in Beijing, down by the ocean with middle schoolers, College to have English conversations with the other kids, an island off of Hong Kong to pray with teens that are to be there for 2 years with drug and alcohol problems, the park participating in a dance class, haggling in the market, and eating a lot of strange food including fish eyes. This morning going to church and the flight home begins later today. Sounds awesome. Thank You for your prayers for our teens!
  Now to our card. This one is just elegant. I love the Stella Rose products. It isn't hard to make a pretty card with and they have coordinating accessories. Right up my ally. Make Time to Create has a lot of new paper and coordinating accessories coming in and going out as fast as they can get them. One of the many things I like about this shop are the examples all around the store to motivate you and help you see what can be done with the products. Dolly and Mary are happy to help put things together and have classes on different things from making cards, a page or learning how to use Copic markers. Pop in and check them out in Newburgh, In, Sharon Road across from the American Legion.
