The Perfect Pair

Hello everyone! It's the first of the month already!! Where did January go? Oh well, welcome February by playing along with us at The ABC Challenge. Today's challenge is I for In Pairs and it is sponsored by the super cute Stamp Fairy. I just love this image, is there a cuter pair? This is for my dad to give to my mom for Valentine's Day.... another fabulous pair, lol! The sketch is Sketchbook Saturday #45. A couple pairs of pearls and a pair of pins round out my Perfect Pair card.... wow I need to stop I'm starting to stutter!


The Crate Paper patterned papers, sentiment sticker, ribbon, and pins are all from January's Key Ingredient Kit. The pearls are CTMH. I colored the sweet Stamp Fairy image with Copics.

This card is also my submission for Crazy 4 Challenges #121: lots of layers and Paper Sundaes Valentine challenge.

With Deepest Sympathy...

Hello friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. I know I got a lot of stamping done, however it was with great sorrow in my heart. A family from the church I grew up in unexpectantly lost their son who was a freshman in high school on Saturday. It has definately left a mark on my heart. I made this card for my mom to give to his parents. They have been through so much in the past few years, I truly pray this card brings them comfort!

I used Taylored Expressions sketch #151... seriously love how it turned out. The papers, ribbon, and brads are all from November's Key Ingredients Kit. The swirl on front is CTMH and Prima flowers inside. The beautiful scripture is a stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs, and the inside stamp is from Taylored Expressions.

This card is also my submission for Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #124: Show your true style. I know my style is more simple, but it is full of love! I truly feel my true style and my best cards are the ones where I am honestly trying to bring some joy or peace to the recipient. I honestly think about the recipient with every step in the process, and I think that is what makes my favorite cards my favs, the part of myself that is with it!

I made 3 other cards this weekend, and will be back throughout the week as I can get them edited to share them all with you! Thanks for looking as always, and please give your kiddos an extra kiss and hug in Cameron's honor tonight!

Lil Bro's birthday!

Hello everyone! I hope your week is going better than mine, lol! My family is all sick, except my husband, and he's out of town for work all week! So not much fun going on in the Meyer household, and not a lot of card making! I did have to get out of bed to make my "little" brother a birthday card, he turned 21 today! Sooo hard to believe. He has grown into such a wonderful man though, and I'm so proud of him!

Ok enough mush out of me! I know this is more of a summer image from Hambo digi stamps, but I just loved it with this Gina K sentiment. My brother is a farm boy at heart so it fits! And who knows, maybe it'll bring warmer weather... a girl can hope : )

I used January's SFYTT, loved it! This is also my submission for Crazy 4 Challenges #120, because he'll always be my "little" brother! The paper is October Afternoon and the brads and photo edge is CTMH.

Thanks for looking, and have a great rest of the week!

Young at Heart

Hello! It's the 15th of the month, which means there's a new challenge over at ABC Challenge! We're on to H is for Happy Birthday! Should be easy enough to play along, right?

My card is for one of my uncles. He is quite the joker and I thought he would find the sentiment very funny! I know I love it! I know it's a bit small in the pic, but it says "Young at Heart slightly older in other places"

I colored the sweet owl with Copics. Unfortunately I made this card prior to my Sugar Nellie hop cards and now I cannot for the life of me find that sweet owl again...I can see the rubber stamp in my head though! So I have no idea what company it is... I need to write those details down! I'll keep looking and hopefully be able to update my post soon. The paper and swirl is CTMH.

This card is also my submission for Cute Card Thursday: have a laugh and Dutch Dare challenges: for the boys.

Thanks for looking! I hope you have a chance to play along with us, don't forget there are prizes involved!
