Create with TLC: I'm Sorry...

Aliens took my brain

Greetings!

Yep, it is Monday and I do feel if though aliens took my brains.  I needed my weekend to stretch out a little bit longer.  Oh well, I am please to see that it is finally starting to look like Spring here in Michigan.  The sun is shining and my spirits are lifting.

Today, I am sharing a card that I am sure that several of you out there can relate to.  I actually could have checked all the boxes.  I started out with a 6x6 grey cardstock base and layered on black cardstock and dp.  I wanted to make a masculine card and this color scheme actually can be male/female.  I rounded off the edges of the card using my corner rounder punch.  I then layered another square panel of black and green cardstock.  I matted the sentiment from Create with TLC on dp.

Create with TLC: I'ts a JOY...

It's a JOY...
Greetings!

I am still in the mindset of JOY.  There are so many benefits to having joy - physically, mentally and emotionally.  We really benefit from it when we share joy with others.  I believe we are strengthened when we can celebrate the good in others.

Today, I am sharing a card I made using Create with TLC sentiment "It's a JOY to celebrate you."  This would make a good "just because," "thinking of you" or "birthday" card.  The papers were the muse for the card's color scheme.  I started out with a chocolate cardstock base, layered on some peach cardstock and then light blue.  I topped the card off with this wildflower dp, which lends itself to a variety of color themes.  I took a strip of the chocolate cardstock and layered on an opposing strip of dp.  I finished the card off with this lovely sentiment matted on the chocolate cardstock.

Create with TLC: Live in Joy

Live in JOY

Greetings!

This is a good rule of thumb, live in joy; however, I know that it is easier said then done.  I am teaching myself to focus on those things that bring me joy.  For instance, today I plan on going to see, for the second time, the movie "God's not dead."  I enjoyed this movie so much that I highly recommend everyone to go see it at least once.  I love Newsboys music and this is one of my fav songs and the movie truly does it justice.  You will walk a way with a reinforced since of security and faith in God.

I used a 5/12 x 51/2 rose cardstock base and layered on a seafoam blue and cranberry cardstock.  I then layered on dp, which was truly the muse for the color theme of this card.  The sentiment is from Create with TLC and is matted on cranberry cardstock with a strip of seafoam on the side.  I used a corner rounder to round off all the corners.

Create with TLC: Happy Healing

Greetings!

It has been a while since I have posted anything.  So much has happened and I am hopeful that tomorrow will bring brighter days.  I was able to get back into the swing of things and make some cards.  A lot of people around me have been sick (including myself) so this card is dedicated to everyone who has been fighting some ailment.  My prayers go out to you for a speedy recovery and Happy Healing.

Here's my creation...

Happy Healing

I used a 6x6 grey cardstock based and layered on this really cool dp that I picked up from an all day cropping event.  I thought this would make for a really cute "male" get well card.  I matted the sentiment "Happy Healing" from Create with TLC on black and red cardstock.  I used the corner rounder to round off the edges.  I then used my Stamp'in Up label punch to make the pills.  I added some glossy texture over the top to make them appear to be plastic.  This is a simple card, but I think the paper and the sentiment really makes it stand out.
