Thankful Thursday at

DL Art

Take a picture of something (not someone) you are thankful for

 My mom is a quilter and this is just one of the may quilts she has made
for me over the years I am so thankful for them. She lives in Florida now.
Every night when I crawl into bed her quilts hug me and keep me warm makes
me feel she is right them with me. I treasure them and know they are her legacy for me
to pass done to my girls and some day my grandchildren.

Hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

Happy 4th

Guess I am not as techie as I thought because last night worked to schedule this to post today at 1 EST....
got to the airport to pick up my daughter's college room mate and nothing UGH!
 Her friend is visiting from Austraila and of course they lost her luggage.
We wait for quite a while but finally they said someone would bring it tomorrow.
Got a little dinner and now home at last...don't you love how life gets in the way?

Thanks to Sheri at My Sheri Crafts

for asking me to be a guest designer a true honor for me. She ask for a 4th of July card

I don't know why but I really struggled at first but happy with the way the card came out

The card started with a A2 Base

First mat Papertrey Ink Vintage cream

Second mat from Basicgrey Lemonade 6x6 stack

Main layer from FancyPantsDesigns

I used Tim Holt's distresser on all the edges

And inked them with Dune by Color Box

the stars on the left were done on my

Gypsy WildCard page 69 I hide the inner star

So the stars would cut solid

Cut them out of navy DCWV at 3.75

And DCWV Christmas glitter mat stack 3.50 I also use this to cut the 4th and background

I dabbed some red stickles on the stars and smeared it around for some sparkle

Happy 4th is from SVG cuts Made in the USA collection

I cut this from a scrap and inked it with Dune

The ribbon is some I tea dyed and crinkled myself

Some buttons from my jar and a little faux stitching

Happy Birthday Nicole

My middle daughter turns 25 today

Amelie's Accessories SVG Kit
