Sunshine of my Life

**If you are looking for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ post for this week, please scroll down!**

This card was made for my dear husband of 38 years. He is so supportive of my stamping just as he was of my cross-stitching and sewing  and quilting and every other creative outlet I have explored over the years. He even reads my blog {Hi Honey!} No it is not our anniversary or any other special occasion - just a thanks to God for staying with us through our ups and downs and bringing us to where we are today. An incredibly happy couple who love each other! I know - kind of mushy - but all true. 


There are 4 challenges for this card first  was the StampTV inspiration challenge, and for Speedy's Friends Challenge which was for a thank you card. This card is a thank you! Also for Dutch Dare which is for anything goes. And last but not least for Simon Says Stamps which was to make a card based on a song. Well it had to be a love song and it was going to be "I just called to say I love you" which he used to sing all the time when he called me I really made this thinking of the song "You are the Sunshine of my life" which is what he is to me and I know that I am to him.

Quilted Love

Like the new picture in the header? Yes that is the view from my craft room, I am very lucky! It is on a smallish lake and I get to see the geraniums from up here or when I am in the yard. This card was made for the Monday color challenge on StampTV, my favorite hangout! I can tell you that the card did not turn out the way it was in my head (hate when that happens!). I knew I wanted to paper piece the quilt (took me a while to do I can tell you!) I knew that I needed to use those colors and I knew that I wanted to use Nina's sketch for her anniversary blog and to use the Love theme for the SSCC. I do love the quilt - wish I could hang it up on my wall. Thanks for stopping by!

Musical Love

Oh my goodness! I checked my blog after church and WOW, all the comments have just overwhelmed me {blushing}. For several years I have been stalking so many blogs, many of yours included, and thought that I would never be able to create my own cards as lovely and original as yours. Yet, here I am. Thank you so much.

Today's upload is a mistake. Okay, not a terrible mistake but I read the colors for the Monday challenge wrong (don't tell my principal!) and thought it was red, kraft and black. Oops! So this card, that was supposed to be for Monday is now for some the CPS challenge. I will try to come up with another one for the StampTV color challenge for Monday. So, without any further yakking - here is the card.....
