Another Serendipity Stamp creation.. strawberry hearts. I'm just loving the stamps I've picked and can't wait to make more creations with them!

My Heart Bleeds For You

This is another image that I picked from Serendipity Stamps, for my design team items... the bleeding heart. It also one happens to be one of my favorite plants.

Card Ingredients:

Stamp: Serendipity Bleeding Hearts set.
Paper: Cream water color paper, Black cardstock, and I believe the pink and black paper is Making Memories, but don't hold me to that. Ink: Black Close to my Heart Ribbon: a cheap black satin and sheer I got at Walmart and the pink loopy is something I picked up at a garage sale

Colored pencils: Prisma Magenta, Grass Green, and Green Ochre.

Other: gamsol and a

blending stump

Here are a few shots of one of my bleeding hearts. I've got two but the other hasn't done well since we moved it two years ago. And for every bit as big as this one is... my mother has one that is at least triple the size.. it's so beautiful!

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks...

Have I mentioned?

That I'm going to Alaska on a mission trip? Yup June 28th I'll be off with a group of 8 from my church in an organization called F.O.S.E.A. Friends of South East Alaska. We'll be there for two weeks.. one of those weeks we'll be staying in Kake Alaska having Bible school an

d getting to know the people of the town, then on our way home we'll making a few stops to see some of the amazing Alaska sites. I just finished making this cute journal for the trip, I've had the journal for a long time in my stash... must have picked it up somewhere cheap. Found the perfect use for it:

I used papers and stamps from Close To My Heart! Their new outdoor stuff was perfect!

Be Yourself!

A few new cards from the newest stamp set I got last night! It's Be Yourself from CTMH!

This lovely lady is done in Petal ink with the awesome fuzzy leopard paper from Anna Griffin.

This other lovely lady is done in Blush with fuzzy zebra paper from the same yummy Anna Griffin line. I stamped the sentiment on this one and then promptly stuck my hand in it.. that's why it's a bit fuzzy.. and I was to tired last night to tear it all apart and start over!
