I have had a crazy busy week completing a big project I had on my plate and it felt so good to get it completed. Just have to get it to the printing company tomorrow! Celebrated by heading into my "Rubber Room" to create a card for the confirmation student we mentor at church. I combined her baptismal birthday and St. Patrick's Day into one card.
I loved the IC website this week had such a hard time picking something as my inspiration... I chose these wonderful woolly sheep as my kick-off point for this card. I immediately thought of these joyful little sheep that I've had in my stash for almost 10 years now. (Yes, I hoard things.) I just love them - they make me smile every time I look at them. They were stamped and embossed using a stamp I borrowed from my girlfriend who got me started in stamping way back then. (Still remember watching embossing powder shine up for the first time over at her place!) We've both long since moved and I so wish I could find this stamp somewhere... The song that pops into my head whenever I see him leaping for joy is the Sunday School song - "Silver & Gold" where the blind man goes "walking and leaping and praising God" after he is healed.
Anyway, I'm sure that the little knitted sheep in the inspiration piece leap and jump the same way once the cameras are turned off.
I'm also going to say this qualifies for the StampinB challenge this week - to make a spring or Easter card. This pretty much depicts how I feel when spring arrives after a long winter!
Stamped on kraft paper with my Fresh Cuts leaves to make the grass. Sponged around a scalloped circle for the clouds and used a leftover piece from a punched circle to sponge the sun. (Somehow the sun seems much more intense in the photo.) Quick, easy and fun! About as CAS as I get - no bling, no cuttlebug folders, no punches (I did punch a border on the inside panel Pam) and minimal layers.
Sentiment on the inside is "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
