Blessings for the heart box

I was inspired to make this box by looking in Irene's gallery. She was chosen yesterday as Queen of the day. I loved her explosion box with a teal rose on top. I kinda got carried away with my box, and it ended up too big for just 1 rose, so I have 4 on mine plus a Layers of Color butterfly. On the inside of the box, I have a Layers of Color butterfly on a paper spring that makes it pop up. I also printed scriptures for the 4 panels. I had so much fun making this little box.

My Rock and My Salvation

At SCS the queen for the day is Queen Francie. I loved her card with the one rose and scripture on it. I loved the little pearls and dew drops. I loved the colors in the dp that she used. I didn't have any dp that was even close, so I McGyvered some. I took some striped dp and I ink spray smashed it. That is the first time I tried it on dp. I usually only use it on plain white cardstock. I think I got pretty close to the dp she used. I also didn't have the dew drops that she used, so I used hot glue to make some more opaque drops. I quilled my rose and hand cut out my leaves. I don't have the scripture stamp that she used, so I computer generated my own. Here's my card in honor of Queen Francie.

Paper Roses

This is my CASE of Queen Pat's roses card. It is also for the CAS challenge for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge. It looks simple, but the fact that I made each and every rose didn't make the card simple at all. It took me about 2 hrs to make the roses. I wish I had the leaf punch like my friend Pat, but I don't. It is on my wish list, but with my washing machine breaking this last week, a paper punch isn't high on the list of needs for my family. I used instead my snowflake punch. Now I know there are a lot worse things than having a broken washing machine. My sister found out today that her mother in law has breast cancer. So all my stamping sisters, I'm asking if you will pray with me for healing, and for peace for Lisa. I hope that this roses card will lift her spirits and encourage her.

CASED CARDS

Casing cards for me is so difficult. Mostly because I find copying someone else's style to be so challenging. I had to try though because on SCS two of my good friends were being honored. Mutnik - Cathy, was the first Queen for the day. She also was the Featured Stamper. So I got the challenge to case 2 of her cards. The other friend is MarilynPrestonn- Peggy. Peggy was the second Queen for the day. I loved her little fairy cards and knew right away which one I would choose.
