On the road this summer

This gave me a chance to use some of the stamps in a set that I have almost never used - I just. seem to keep running out of time!  A note on the design - I used chalk to highlight the embossing.  For the bg, I chalked the folder, and for the sentiment I chalked the cs.  Also, as I was preparing to emboss the Happy Birthday strip I noticed a scrap of white on the table - decided to go with the torn edge look and use that tiny scrap! (Waste not...)  The diagonal stripes are from a piece of Stick n Tape.

Hugs and prayers

I have a large stash of images that I have printed (digis) as well as stamped images I have colored - nice to have on hand for quick cards - however, my record keeping is not so good - as a result, I cannot identify this.  I am pretty sure it is a digi, but I am not able to locate the original in my files.  Can any one help?  The sentiment is from the Wish RAK group at Splitcoaststampers.

Thanks #7

Actually, I have lost track of the number of thank you cards I have made recently.  Several friends wanted them, and a couple requested more of what I made already - hence, you will see several of this type!

Spring flowers

This image (Natural Beauty by SU) is one I really enjoy coloring.  I used it for a multi-layer challenge - I have lost track of the name of this collection of patterned papers.  The sentiment is from a digi set, and the EF is LifeStyle crafts.  I added a bit of lace and some half pearls.

Birthday Cupcake

Both the image and sentiment are from The Alley Way (colored with prismas, and Enamel Accent for the frosting)- thank you for the freebies!  DP is from a Recollections pad, and I added a bit of vintage lace. Circle/scallops by Cuttlebug.
