Hi everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday!! Today we have Share Joy Challenge 20 - a sketch and Clean & Simple challenge but before we talk about that let's see who won last week's sketch/inspiration photo challenge.
#5 Marianne
Today's Share Joy Challenge is a sketch and Clean & Simple and we are so happy to have you joining us this week. We love hearing that YOU are sharing your cards with others! Please be sure to leave us a comment when you link up each week and share with us how you are SHARING JOY with others (AKA tell us about who and why you are sending/giving your card to)!!
Here are some samples from our design team:
I will send my card to a friend who is waiting for the summer!
ReplyDeleteMy card is for my DH who has a birthday next week. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteI will send my card to my loved ones for valentines day :)
ReplyDeleteLove this challenge! I'm not sure who my card is for yet...probably my husband since he really does make my heart flutter :)
ReplyDeleteOur church has card racks that a number of us keep supplied where people can "purchase" hand-crafted cards by donation. I realized this past week that there isn't a single masculine card in the racks. I'll add this to the racks before church service tomorrow and I guarantee it will be gone before I leave!!
ReplyDeleteI made a Clean and Simple card (entry #8) and this is a card from my kitties to say thank you to my young niece and nephew for the Christmas gifts they gave to my kitties. It's going in the mail on Monday!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards by the DT! The watercoloring on the first one made a spectacular effect! That little birdie couple in the second card is adorable all framed up in that die cut! The roses are stunning, and Jen's card following the sketch is a beautiful sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteCard #9 is a birthday card for a special little girl who turns 6 next week. She's been through a lot of medical stuff (nearly starving and contracting TB in Ethiopia where she was born have led to a lot of complications even though she was adopted at less than a year old), but she's one tough cookie and has a smile to melt your heart!
Card #10 is for my husband who built us a house with a big fireplace in the living room and keeps a fire in it almost every day in the winter! So cozy!
ReplyDeleteCard #11 is one of 100 similar cards that I made for my mom who sends holiday cards to friends, family, shut-ins, and kids on her church's college list.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great sketch, will be useful for so many occasions! I'll be sending my card to a birthday girl early in February; I'm sure she'll appreciate the little taste of spring. Love all the samples the Design Team made for us!
ReplyDeleteI like to share joy by making individual birthday cards for each of my co-workers ... I love being able to make something just for them.
ReplyDeleteGreat combo challenge and wonderful DT cards! My birthday balloon shaker is going to one of my friends who is turning 70 years young!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThanks for such gorgeous inspiration cards, ladies! My card is going to be flying across the ocean to a faraway friend ... just to say hello! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteHi. My card #20 is going to my friend K, who will appreciate the sentiment. She also has a birthday this month and I think it will be perfect. Hugz
ReplyDeleteMy card is for my Dad !!
ReplyDeleteDon't know yet who my card recipient will be... someone with a birthday that I want to send lots of love to :)
ReplyDeleteI have a good friend in mind for my card this week. She's going through a tough time and could use a few hugs!
ReplyDeleteI am sent my first card to the custodians at our children's school who dug out the entire area plus the roof after the blizzard hit our area last week. The other two cards are being sent to the Lasting Hearts Card drive.
ReplyDeleteI am sending this card to my adult son, just for fun!
ReplyDeleteFun challenge. Fabulous projects from the DT. I don't always know who I am going to give my cards to - my entry today is one of those. Sometime in the near future I am sure someone will need a lift me up and I will have this one at the ready.
ReplyDeleteMy tag, #31, will be tied around a big bottle of wine for my sister to thank her, as a hostess gift! believe me, there will be much joy shared then!
ReplyDeleteTake Care!
Michele
Thank you for another fun challenge! It was just the inspiration I needed for a thank you card for my hosts this weekend. Best, CG
ReplyDeleteMy card is for a dear friend who shared an unexpected act of kindness this week. I want to let her know how much it meant to me.
ReplyDeleteI will send my valentine cupcake to a friend;
