So many challenges, so little time. It seems I'm always late to the party but I've decided to upload the cards I create for challenges even if the party is already over and everyone has moved on to the next celebration. I'm just happy to find time to do some creating - and get a few new cards uploaded.
The WT686 challenge to use patterned paper could keep me going for years to come - without ever going to a store. I loved this SU paper when I bought it - so much that I found it hard to use. That gives me the claim to the USEIT2018 challenge. I got lost in the Grandinroad website - pinned so many things that could make amazing cards - but it was this bedding - https://www.grandinroad.com/ledia-qu...covers/1153050 - that made me think of the DSP I used. And I used the photo as my sketch for my card. My unused Verve "Kindness Matters" stamps were calling to me and that fits the Crafters of Faith "kindness" challenge for May perfectly. Simple enough card - added some Stickles to the paper to jazz it up a bit - do people still use Stickles?
The card will go to a dear friend as a thank you.

Such a pretty card...love your layout. The dsp is so pretty in coordination with that used with your verse and the color combinations are beautiful! I love the sparkly Stickles added to the dsp...looks like it is right at home!

Beautiful card! Welcome back! I was gone a few years too so I know what you mean by things changing. Lol. I discovered Wink of Stella when I returned so now my Stickles are barely used.

Oh, Heather, it's WONDERFUL to see you again in the gallery! It's been a long time, but we are always here for each other! I giggled as well when I read your description. And I too have this DP in my stash and could go years without having to shop for DP. Haha! Beautifully done with this great sentiment, and Stickles are always in! LOL! Hugs, sweet friend, and Happy Mother's Day! xoxo

Heather, I just saw this beautiful card in your gallery! I love it! You used my favorite DSP, and I have two unopened packages of it that I don't want to use! LOL. BTW, I have stickles that I use. I love them!
