Sasha's First Communion Card

I am sew far behind in blogging - I've made many amazing cards to share and since I came to the cabin for the weekend, thought I would share some of these cards with you . . . .

Sasha made her First Communion in April but this Grammy was in the hospital with an exacerbation of my Myasthenia Gravis for a week - a lot of complications occurred along with a set-back but all is well at this time.

I'm not Catholic and had some problems trying to decide and make an appropriate card and this is what I came up with:






RECIPE:
  • card was cut 4.25 x 9 inches using purple Recollection card stock which was then folded in half using Martha Stewart Score Board (what would I ever do without that in my life???)
  • background is a piece of lilac rose paper which was found in my stash and cut 4 x 5.25 inches 
  • cross is a wonderful stand-by which I got as a freebie from My Scrap Chick - it was cut in layers using various textured and designed white card stock and puff-dotted on the front of my card
  • sentiment, God Bless Your First Communion was a freebie from Create with TLC which was chalked around the edges and mounted on scraps of white and silver print card stock
  • white pearls were added to the front of the cross
Hoping this was appropriate . . . .

I thank you for stopping by and visiting today. I appreciate and love reading your comments . . is your comment the next one I read??? 

Much love, hugs, and friendship
Lynne

Birthdays are a blessing especially if it is someone special. God grants blessings by giving us special people to honor.

If you have arrived from Kimberly then you are on the right birthday trail. If you just happened to stop and visit me, I am truly blessed and happy that you have but would love for you to follow the complete hop by starting with of course with Kimberly at http://scrappingrookie.blogspot.com



For my birthday card for Sally,  I have made a card incorporating I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose for November 15, 2012 using Sketch # 20 with of course a twist of Lynne!!! Would you expect anything less????

Recipe:
  • card was cut 6 x 12 - inches using LeTres Chic and then folded in half using my Martha Stewart Score Board
  • background was cut  5.75 x 5.75 inches using 8.5 x 11 Vintage Printable Digital Scrapbook Paper - "Floral Motif" Pink
  • both my card and background were then inked in blue and used a corner punch to soften the card some
  • My Scrap Chic Easter Cross was cut at 4-inches using navy, I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose September 2012 (30 Card Sketches) Plus 2 Free Scrap Printable Paper (amazing how the color differs when you are running out of ink!!)
  • butterfly in upper right hand corner was made for me by a special friend since I admired the butterflies she makes
  • Bible was cut at 2.75-inches using Cricut Heritage Cartridge which was then inked with "Birthday Blessings" hand-written across the center
  • the beautiful antique button was given to me by another friend as I love buttons ... I must admit, I hated to use this button but it appeared to be the purrrfect compliment to finish my cross


Your next stop along the way on our birthday blessings is Lisa.

Much Love, Hugs, and Friendship,
Lynne
