Besides being so honored by the win, it's delightful to be invited by Sandie to be a Guest Designer, and joining their wonderful team for two weeks! Thanks, Sandie!
Here is the fun we have in store for you for T.O. Challenge #135 Inspired by Words:
Poppy Stamps is the generous sponsor for this challenge … it was a pleasure to use my favorite P.S. Forest Village die again... I'm sorry I couldn't find a link for this beauty! My new hemstitch ovals framed my starry sky scene perfectly!
No doubt this would make a wonderful Father's Day card, right? All Tom and I need to do is look to the stars to find our wonderful Dads. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Heaven had a mailbox?
Hope you find inspiration from the Time Out Inspired by Words challenge and come play along!

So fabulous to have you with us for this challenge and you've just reminded me that I have this die too!! Love how you used it (not showing the whole thing) and the white with the navy is so stylish!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a joy to have you with us at Time Out. I love the white village die cut against your starry sky. Your sentiment is wonderful, and yes, it would be so lovely if heaven had mailboxes. Maybe it does, and our greetings are delivered with thoughts and prayers...
ReplyDeleteHeaven does have a mail box, Michele ... there's a delivery every time we think of a loved one there and feel their caring, tender presence! This is beautiful ... such a bold, starry sky that makes that crisp village pop ... fabulous framing with the hemstitch oval ... and a wonderful sentiment. Yep, I'm certain this was delivered, my sweet friend! It's a joy to have you Guest Designing once more with us at Time Out ... thank you so much! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely scene, and it's obvious why your village die is a fave! Great card, Michele!
