Paper Play & DDSB

Thank you all so much for the get well wishes you sent my way after my post yesterday. I definitely feel much better. Still have a bit of cramping, but at least no pain. As long as there's no pain, I am good. Last night I even managed to created a couple cute cards. But, since, I already have 2 cards for today, I'll save the cards I made last night for tomorrow's post. :)

Fist up is my card for Paper Play Autumn is comin' challenge sponsored by Simon Say Stamp. For all the details & prize information, check it out here. All the stamps that I used here are from Hero Arts, except for the sentiment, which is from Verve Stamps. When it comes to sentiment, Verve stamps does have some of the best sentiments & style in my opinion. I love this saying. I always admired Mother Teresa and pretty much as soon as I saw this, I know I have to have it right away. It's such a powerful words.


I actually submitted this card for the recent Stamp It! submission call, but it didn't get pick. Oh well, I just have to keep on trying. :)

Second is my card for Digi Doodle Shop's Best "Charm" challenge. Isn't this spider just too cute? I love that his eyes all goofy looking. I cut & layered the spider twice for extra dimension. Forgot  to take picture from the side to show the layers & I already gave this card to my SIL. I don't have charms handy in my stash, so I created my  own charms using my always reliable Silhouette. I hanged all 3 charms on black thread.


I really love how fun this card looks.  Likey the spider? You can get it here. And for details on the challenge please go here.

Also just a reminder, you have till Friday midnight to enter Wee Memories "Wee Ones" challenge.

So happy it's already Thursday and only 9 more days till I see my brother!! So, so excited & looking forward to spending some time with him. That's it for today, peep! Have a blessed day! Hugs, Vera.

Two fab cards, Vera. I love the PP one, such beautiful delicate flowers and a lovely sentiment, and the stamping on the grid paper is a lovely effect. And the Hallowe'en one, sooo funny and cute, I love Hallowe'en!

Glad you're feeling better!
