Mine was such a fun one. On Saturday we had our stamp club meeting and we created 6 cards.
Each of us brought a card sample and supplies so it made it easy to get 6 done. I really liked each one that we made.

| Ethan with his mvp trophy |
Sunday
evening I went to Ethan's basketball 4th grade tournament championship game.
His school won and he was the tournament MVP. I was so proud of him. the final score was 28-17.
He scored 17 points in this game. He was the team high scorer in all 4 games. Plus, he is such an encourager to his teammates.
When I came out of the gym I was surprised to see it snowing. On my 45 minute drive home I also encountered freezing rain. This made it really slick in several areas. I was glad to pull onto my street and into my driveway safe & sound. Thank the Lord!!
The card I am showing today is one that I made for the featured stamper challenge on splitcoaststampers. This week the honoree was cookie aka stampgroover. She has quite an impressive gallery and has definitely mastered the clean and simple technique.
I chose her ribbon frame card to recreate ala Mary Marsh style. This was my first time trying this technique and I was pleased with how it turned out. You simply use a slot punch and punch out 4 corners and run ribbon through to make a frame.
She used a clock collage stamp as her image and I decided to use a bird stamp. I used a friendship sentiment to complete my card.
A few other challenges:
1. Aly's Sunday challenge blog has a give support challenge. I made this for a friend to let her know I value her friendship.
2. The frosted design blog has a no patterned paper challenge.
That's my card for today. So until next time.......
card recipe:
stamps: wings of friendship
paper: su bermuda bay, black, gina k pure luxury white
ink: versafine onyx black
accessories: bermuda bay ribbon
techniques: ribbon frame
Glad you made it home from the game and congrats to Ethan on being named MVP! Great.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card! I really love how you used the ribbon to frame your bird!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Ethan! That's super exciting. So glad you have more time for family and crafts these days.
I have to say, it sounds like we had the exact same weather yesterday. Got about 8" of the fluffy snow after the freezing rain.
Thanks for taking the challenge at Frosted Designs this week! :)
Hello Mary,
ReplyDeleteyou create one time more a beutifull card! I love the stamp and the colours you choose!

Glad you made it home from the game ok. The Lord was watching over me last week when we missed being in a serious accident by minutes. We didn't even know it until later in the day when my DH saw the report on the internet! It happened less than 10 minutes after we went through. Makes you wonder how many other times the Lord has protected us from harm that we were totally unaware of! Love your card, especially the ribbon frame.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning! I love your ribbon frame...and I think you have mastered it!! I cannot believe this was your first attempt...you are a natural:) I also love the beautiful image and your fabulous color palette.
