Southern Girls Challenge Features Milk Coffee Stamps!
For this challenge, Southern Girls Challenge has a theme of "Sweet Treats"! Now, my image from Milk Coffee Stamps is called Charlotte the Nurse. This site is on Etsy with some very cute images for sale. Now I'm not sure about the TREAT that Char is getting ready to give you in that glass with the pills in it, but it's good for a chuckle!
I used embossed dotted swiss pink cardstock as the base of my card, with multi-colored embossed hearts on the top. The oval is framed with a gorgeous cardstock color from The Paper Cut called Basis Teal-it matched the hearts perfectly. I definitely will be making more Get Well cards for my inventory with this cutie! The sentiment is from my stash and is mounted with pop dots for dimension.

We are Thankful at Squigglefly with our newest Challenge-Thank You cards
I'm using this challenge to create a type of card I so seldom do, a card that's thankful for someone's kindness to them. At Squigglefly this week the theme is Thank you cards and what with the season, I'm sure there will be many entries centered around Thanksgiving.
But I thought that there's a kindness that's shown that we rarely have a chance to return the favor or say how much it meant to us. It's when we've suffered a loss or a tragedy and someone has prayed for us, held our hand, put their arm around us to help share the grief. Those "angels" do the act without any thought of being noticed, or expecting praise. They are just THERE! How wonderful we don't have to go through life without compassion for others.
That being said, I wanted to use an image that I've had colored up for some time, waiting for the perfect time to use it-it's called Power of Prayer by Lynne Stansbery, a featured artist from Squigglefly's super group of artists. In simple elegance, it's a powerful statement. This digital comes with a wonderful verse also, but to change the focus of the card, I elected not to use it. However it would make an impactful sympathy card.
So as this season progresses, take time to ponder ALL your reasons to be Thankful. We truly are Blessed with all our bounty, both in friends and families.

I can't believe that I'm Published!
On October 17th, 6 cards from the Squigglefly DT group were published in the Complete Card Making Magazine on pages 56-59. This was all arranged by the owner of Squigglefly, Holly Young and it was so exciting to be included in this wonderful Group! Once we completed our cards, we mailed them to the United Kingdom to Becky Higgins for her approval and she placed them in a featured article with a Christmas theme. This magazine is also distributed in the US so it would be so great if you could take a look at it in print! It was interesting how detailed you had to be what with supplying a list of materials that you used and the step by step instructions on how to duplicate your card.

Emma & The Cake from Fred She Said with help from The Paper Cut

I used my Cupcake Swinging Z-Fold card blank from The Paper Cut in the color of Grape Jelly. I'm really liking these "moving" cards! I'm very proud to be on their Design Team! The green that I used as a mat and as the cupcake is called Basis Lt. Lime. Then the icing is from an exciting textured cardstock called pearlized Esse White and I used the Cupcake die from Impression Obsession--I think they all bring out the candy colors from the design paper from the Spooky & Kooky papers by Bazzill. Course I Do love me some buttons!!
