Hope You Can Cling To Challenge 10

Happy Wednesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. Getting an early start to my day today so I thought I would post now instead of tonight.

I was over with my grandsons yesterday so I was a bit tired when I returned from there. So no post yesterday for me.

I picked Ethan up from school and we stopped for an after school snack. Had quite a lengthy and interesting discussion on the Presidential debate & election with him. All 3 of the boys are informed politically, and we go back and forth with our ideology.
I am quite the proud Grandmother I realize that but I am very impressed with how these young boys sort out thoughts and ideas and form their opinions.

Well onto my card for today. I am showing a shaped card that I made for the Hope You Can Cling To challenge 10 on Splitcoastampers. Jeanne was our hostess for this one and she wanted us to make a shaped card. No circles, squares or rectangles were allowed in this one.

I remembered a template I had from Paper Crafts magazine for a lamp shaped card. So that's the direction I took. I had 2 color choices and designer papers so I decided to make 2 cards.

This first one is made with Stampin-Up's "attic boutique" and "soft suede" designer papers.

I used some riding hood red satin ribbon for the lamp shade trim and added a die cut daisy in riding hood red as well. The dotted center is soft suede.

My serenity sentiment is from the MFP set "island life".

The 2nd one I made uses designer paper from Stampin-Up's "thoroughly modern" collection.

I used some lace trim as well as satin ruffled ribbon. The sentiment is from the Marks Finest Papers set "lighthouses". I used just a portion of this sentiment.

Cut a daisy in whisper white sponged the edges and added a rose red center.

Well that's it for me today. Hope you will stop back tomorrow to see what I am up to.

Until next time........God Bless
