More Angel Wings

I don't know how many of my followers have tolerated my long absence from posting. Lots of changes in my life since July- new job, new car, lots of distractions.  Truthfully, the change in jobs was much needed and meant I needed a little time to heal.  I've spent time in the intervening weeks on new adventures, focused Bible study and relaxed craft time.  I kept up taking pictures, but didn't pressure myself edit and post.  As a result, I took a long haitus.  I thought I'd give a try to get back in the saddle.  Here goes.

These cards were made using an inspiration from Lori over at Saints Rule!  The card design is classic and works so well with these inspiring and encouraging phrases from Word Art Wednesday.

Here's the details:

• All the patterned papers are from MME's The Sweetest Thing Lavendar paper pad. 
• The floral pieces are cut from green cardstock scraps using my Our Daily Bread Designs Fancy Foliage.  
• The angel wings were made from solid white cardstock using my Our Daily Bread Designs Angel Wings die.
• The sentiment comes from Word Art Wednesday that I printed out on my computer and die cut with my Spellbinders Labels 17 die.  

I'm going to enter this in Word Art Wednesday's Challenge #152: Anything Goes.  Come on over to view some amazing art or join in the fun.

An Encouraging Time

Ack!  I was on a roll there.  Guess I have to admit to being human.  It isn't that I have not been crafty.   Just a lack of time to get posts edited and up.  I've been going through some life changes and had commitments that gave distracted me and eaten up quite a bit of time. I made this card during all this change.   I intend to use it to encourage sometime remembering how making it encouraged me.   Here's the details:

• The papers are from MME'S Now and Then collection.   They came in the Simon Says Stamp June card kit. The coordinating dark brow card stock also came in the kit.
• The angel whoa die cut is made using my new Our Daily Bread Designs Angel Wings dies.  The detail here is stunning. 
• The floral pieces are cut using my Our Daily Bread Designs Fancy Foliage dies. 
• The little tiny flower is cut from a teal cardstock scrap using my Io Spiral Flowers.  So cute with those A Penny Saved copper prills.
• The sentiment is from Word Art Wednesday and was printed on my printer and die cut with my Spellbinders Labels 17.

I'm going to link this up over at Word Art Wednesday for their  Challenge #143: Anything Goes and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday blog Anything Goes.  Come join the fun.
