Whimsy Stamps Gone Fishing

Whimsy Stamps Gone Fishing

Hello, my friends!  Now that my Splitcoaststampers.com Dirty Dozen responsibilities are over for the month of April, I made a card to post to my site.  It features Whimsy Stamps Gone Fishing Stamp.  This card is a birthday card for my grandson who loves fishing and he turned 18 last week.  What a milestone for him.


Psalm 34:18-19

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.  A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.”

Penny Black Spontaneous Joy

Penny Black Spontaneous Joy

Hello, my friends!  I have been unavailable because of an illness, and today I am feeling better and wanted to get to my craft room and create.  The card I created features the beautiful and new Penny Black Spontaneous Joy stamp.  I submitted this card for this week’s Inspiration and Color Challenges on Splitcoaststampers.  I selected the two mentioned challenges to get my creative juices flowing again.  You can see all the wonderful comments made on my card by clicking HERE.


1 Thessalonians 5:12-15

“Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord [emphasis added] and who admonish you.  Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.  Live in peace with each other.  And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.  Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.”

SU Out West

SU Out West

Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper for this week is Susy Kegal (aka Boss).  The object of being a featured stamper is for others to case your work.  Susy has a fantastic gallery from which to pick a card to case.  After spending time viewing a lot of Susy’s gorgeous gallery, I kept coming back to this Boots Scootin’ card, so I had to case it. The boots on Susy’s and my cards are the only similar element.  When I saw her card, I was reminded of the Stampin’ Up! (SU) Out West stamp set that is retired and contains a pair of boots.  Thus, I used the SU Out West stamp set for my card.


Ephesians 2:4-7

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved.  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”

Are you ready for Spring?  I sure am!  It will be here according to the calendar in about six weeks!  I am trying to move it along by creating a card that relates to April Showers Bring May Flowers!  I am sharing with you today my Heartfelt Creations Songs of Spring card.


2 Timothy 3:1-5

“But mark this:  There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power.  Have nothing to do with them.”

Are we living in these days???
