Injoy Stampin Handmade Cards/Mini Albums

Happy Wednesday

Hello Everyone,  I hope you are having a fabulous Wednesday for yourself!  It’s rainy with thunderstorms here in Michigan, but it’s nice all the same.  I don’t mind the rain really…well, that is unless I have gardening that I want to do.  I don’t, so it’s nice to be inside and hear the thunder crashing.

I made this card last week for a dear friend who lost the love of her life.  It was very, very sad.  He meant a great deal to my hubby.  He had a long battle with his illness, but is doing fine now so that helps everyone feel a bit better.  His wife, my friend, is in her 60′s and is doing as good as can be expected.  I’m sure she would appreciate your prayers though.  Her name is Kathi.

It has sort of a vintage feel to it.  I used the Mirabelle stack from Hobby Lobby, I believe it’s by The Paper Studio.  I used an eyelet punch on a script sheet from the stack, and then cut out the layer and image using a Nestabilities set.  The pretty flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts, 10mm and 15mm open roses.  You know how much I love those!  The lace trim is SU!, and the pearls are Prima.  The sentiment is also an SU! set.  The image is from a Crafty Secrets sheet called “Birds and Blossoms.”

I hope it brought a bit of encouragement to her, and that you enjoy seeing it.  I like to create and give…otherwise I end up with a huge stack of finished projects sitting around not doing anyone any good. I feel like a handmade card is like a hug with a fold in the middle. :c)

Thank you for stopping by today.  I always appreciate it, and your kind comments. xx
