my NSSS card #2






Good morning!
Today's I'm sharing the cards I made for NSSS monday cards swap.
I wanted it very clean and simple, with few colors and the focus Bible scripture(Prov.17: 17a).
Single accent such as a clear button with waxy flax*and colored flowers in a die cut vase.
Plus the envelope corner stamped with the same flowers image.

Supplies: papers, buttons, waxy flax, flowers stamps and ink pad(CTMH). Bible Verse(Sweet & Sassy Stamps).

Thank you for visiting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY




This one is for myself.
:D

I brought this metal photo frame from our latest Oregon trip.
Just love it. It has exactly what I need: to decorate and to display.
Fun and pretty.
Plus I got a great deal for it. So happy to have it now at my room's wall.

I added some card tops, all Happy Birthdays'.

Then I realized I need to make some more...(there's none in my card box)!

Happy Birthday You Too!

about colors - from nature




It is just anything goes colored!
As I'm planning the next scrapbook layout and some cards, I was looking for some "color-inspired" theme or title to go for it.
Here are few names to think about: color escape, cor e amor(Portuguese), color viewfinder.

In the meantime, how about some bright ones as today's eye candy?

Love flowers.

It was so much fun. Meeting people who like Paper Crafting, Stamping and Coloring.
I had a wonderful day and was so happy just to be there.
