Create a Scene

I like the results with the Madison Window, and yet I seldom use it.  I stamped the Stampendous scene on white cs, then added the "grass" and "sky" (aqua pen and ink) before stamping the trees (SU Lovely as a Tree).  I then positioned the window die cut over the scene.  I added ribbon and Tear drops - both have been in my stash for a long time - as well as the stamps.  The sentiment is a dollar stamp.

An angel has charge over you

This Madison Window die vanished for a while, and I am glad it is back in the fold.  I thought I would try it with the angel (SU On Angel Wings).  I will use one of the verses from the set on the inside - For He shall give His angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways )Ps. 41:11).
The red is embossed with my brand new QuicKutz Woven folder, and I used one of Spellbinder's Doodles around the window.  The gold is a piece of a roll of gold mesh, with a gold ribbon added down the center.

New Home

I really like this window die, but need to learn how to use it if the image is not quite the right size.  This is a bit too narrow as well as too long.  So I used a bit of the Martha Stewart trellis punch to create an edging - originally I thought of it as being like a fence around the fields - after I uploaded the card I realized I should have made curtains or drapes for the window!  Then, I ask you to use some imagination as I took liberties, and put some of the grapes and leaves on the window sill. This was also kind of a last minute thought.  Let me know what you think.

More cards for the CPS Anniversary challenge

Day 15 - Relaxing Bear
This is for Day 15 of the Anniversary Challenge by Kim Moreno: http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/
I used my brand new Crafter's Companion Popcorn the Bear - Father's Day image. 
The sentiment is a dollar stamp.
 I colored with chalk pastel pencils, and used a variety of papers.

Day 12 - Thank you 
This card is for two challenges. The first is day 12, selected by Lisa Silver:  http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/
The second is inspired by a photo of a bouquet of roses - my BG paper has similar blossoms, and the doily like die reminds me of the heart in the photo: http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/search/label/challenge
The DP is by Paper Pizazz. I colored with Fiskars gel pens.  The die cut is the lavalier circle by Memory Box. The image is in my stash - possibly Hampton Arts.

Day 9 - Riley in camo
I combined this with the tea pot Tuesday challenge on SCS.  I used Riley (GI Jon) holding a heart, and standing behind the Madison window die cut.  We are sending cards to Katy, a young woman facing overwhelming medical problems.  She has many military connections in her family.
The sketch is Day 9 of the anniversary challenge here - thanks, Deb Felts, for your selection.
