"Welcome Spring"

 Hello to all my friends, followers, viewers and family on this Tuesday, March 23, 2021   Although the storms of life were raging last Thursday in our neighborhood, we survived without any damage.  Can you believe having  tornadoes watches one day and snow the next?  We went through this on Thursday evening through and into all day Friday.  It is calm today and will probably stay this way until we finish the month of March.  

The official day for spring arrived this past weekend.  We went on an adventure to visit my daughter, son-in-love, and granddaughter in NC.  To view the pretty green grass, flowering trees as well as flowers really lifted our spirit.  What we had left behind and returned to was water, water everywhere from the storm...no beauty to enjoy.

When will you celebrate a birthday?  Many family members are expecting to have some form of celebration next month (April).  Many people are receiving their vaccinations and the state is opening up more opportunities to venture out.  I'm ready,  not for a birthday...that will come during the winter months...but to at least sit and have someone to fix me a meal.  

Today, I made a sweet, spring birthday card for one of my family members who will be celebrating a birthday in April.  Tim Holtz dies ( skeleton leaves & potted ) were used along with Prima cardstock and Prima flowers:

You will also see this one on Scrapbook.com and https://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com

Many crafters are making cards for the coffee blog hop.  I had these elements in my file and had never put them to good use.  This was an opportunity to get rid of them.  

Please visit again to see what I have created.  Your support remains very important.  Thank you for viewing.

"Two For Wednesday"

Hello Beautiful People,
 It's Wednesday, September 18, 2019 and I'm here to share to wonderful cards with you.  One was created on yesterday and the other today.  I think I'm going to have everyone to start following me on Instagram.  When I think I will get around to writing something important to share...stuff gets in the way as well as the time.  My daughter and I discussed this situation on yesterday...she wanted to know what happened to me making cards and posting them to this blog.  The truth of the matter is this...if I don't have my card or cards ready by a certain time of the day to post to this blog, then I just post to Instagram.  It is easy and fast.  Check out https://www.instagram.com/wychelois/
 I'm sure you will be able to find me.
Great news...I have time today:
This first card I'm sharing was inspired by the sermon preached at our church on Sunday.  Our Pastor preached from this particular scripture: Luke 13:10-13.  The title used was "The Lord Has Sent Me Here Today To Get You Straight".  When you read those verses you will find a woman who was bent over for eighteen "long" years.  Jesus brought her from her brokenness to blessedness.  Not only this woman, but for each and every one of us also.

 Items Used:
Cardstock: Neenah white;  Recollections beige; Recollections pattern paper
die: Aliexpress background die
embellishments: Prima flowers and grosgrain ribbon
