Honoring the QFTD at Splitcoaststampers

This is to honor the weekly Queen for the day  at SplitCoastStampers.  (She has not yet been revealed, so I will be back later to do that._
I used a die cut trellis that a friend sent - I have no idea of the origin, but I think I should look for that die or punch, whatever it is!  I added a Verve Scripture and Whiff of Joy  sentiment.  Te oval is Spellbinders - I added the backing for contrast.

sympathy for Virginia

This image from SU's Garden Collage has really become a favorite.  I used my new (prize) powdered chalk from Chalk ah Lot - this is called Blue Bell - subtle coloring for the bird and the edges of the white circle.
Supplies:  from my stash - image, Recollection DP, pale blue ribbon, pink gems;  Other - branches from a Cheery Lynn die.  There is a sympathy verse on the inside - this is for a friend from church whose sister and sister-in-law died within four days.

CAD Torn and glittery with swirls

DH is ready to walk out the door - our big activity for today is to go for pizza.
I used one of my favorite things - a Cuttlebug folder (swirls).  I have had these for a while, and they are not much neglected.  This ribbon is also from my older stash.  The Penny Black image is much newer for me.  The DP was a gift from a friend at Wish RAK, on SCS.
Tearing is one of the weekly challenges for the card a day group on SCS.
