Congratulations, Lyn! Great cards by the DT! Those bees are especially adorable!! Thanks for another lovely challenge, and have a very blessed new year!
ReplyDeleteMy card will be headed back home to my 9 yr. old grandson, Matt. He's my crafting buddy. Not only will he be happy to get a card, but I am enclosing a $10 certificate to our local craft store. I didn't get a chance to spend it before we left for vacation and it will expire before we return home. I'm sure Matt won't have any trouble spending it!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
This is my first time participating in this challenge. I learned about your terrific stamps from Cindy Lawrence's blog. Love your stamps and hope to have some to use in future challenges very soon.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, this card will be destined to go to a good friend of mine who will be celebrating her birthday this month. Thanks so very much for a chance to win some of your wonderful stamps. Cheers.
This little get-well card will go out to a dear friend who is having surgery on Monday. She's all about the CAS style, so this one will make her smile. It was fun to make! Bev
ReplyDeleteMy first time playing along ... what a lovely challenge! This card is heading to a faraway friend who will be celebrating her birthday in a couple of weeks! Sorry I didn't use TE goodies ... I only have Christmas ones! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to enter my first challenge! I will be sending the card to to my daughter who has moved far away. I so enjoy seeing the cards that have been entered into the challenge!
ReplyDeleteBig thanks for the Challenge and was sooooooo delighted to see I was the Random winner this week just gone, especially since there is a new release just around the corner :). This card I have made with the idea of gifting to one of the beautiful young Mums at Church as there are so many young families and I am positive this card with be put to use in no time :). I am sure the card will be used in no time at all!
ReplyDeleteMy card will be going to my friend for her birthday next week. Happy New Year to you all :)
ReplyDeleteMy card will go to a crafty friend "just because", on the occasion of our first snow here!
ReplyDeleteThank you for another fun challenge & super DT inspiration! I'm sending this card to the friend who gave me the Washi tape I used. Best, CG
ReplyDeletePlaying again (hope that's ok!) ... my card's going to a lovely long distance friend ... she and her husband will be celebrating their wedding anniversary this month! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI volunteer for a non-profit Chemo Angels, and my card will be going to cheer a chemo patient as she continues to battle cancer.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid my Christmas cards are going out late this year. This one will probably go to a neighbor. Although it was clean and simple, using paper and stickers from my stash it has a little bulk. I'll have my boys deliver my bigger cards into neighbors mailboxes. As they are all different, I won't figure out who gets which one until they are all ready to write. Thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sketch! I'm tucking my card in a package to a friend today! ~ Tricia
ReplyDelete#20 is going to a friend who recently wrote me a very sweet letter. This verse seemed like the perfect way to let her know how special her words were to me.
ReplyDeleteNumber 23 is going to a friend who got me a mini makeover with her for Christmas. Talk about a great gift!
ReplyDeleteSadly, #24 is more of a sharing the sadness card. A sympathy card for a young woman whose husband died suddenly.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry about Sandy's friend who lost her husband. Just said a prayer for God's comfort and peace.
ReplyDeleteMy card #26 was for my husband the morning he had a weigh-in at work for a contest they were doing to see who could maintain or even lost weight over the holidays. He actually lost a little over 2 pounds and won the drawing for a $100 prize.
My entry is number 27. I was inspired to create this card for a friend who lives far away and just suddenly lost her young husband. It is so sad. (Plus her beloved dog died just 2 weeks ago.) I can't be there for her physically, but a homemade card is a lot like a hug and shows someone cares. I plan on sending her a card every day for a month. Maybe it will be a little something to help her get through her day.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a great challenge. I love beautiful CAS cards but I feel it's difficult to make them. My entry is number 31 which will be sent to a former colleague to whom I forgot to send a Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteLove Outi
I made this for one of my book club friends who has a birthday next week. Love this stamp as it makes a fast cute birthday card.
