Hello and welcome <3
I just have a simple card to share with you today~ But I am most grateful for even this! as my mojo is not returning my calls, and I was in great need of a wedding card!
The front of the card says "a door opened" and inside the card it says "and love walked in"
"Below is a pic of the inside of the card - the top section, just above the fold. I fussy-cut a tree with birds and tucked a sewing card inside. That will house some $$ or a gift card~
I may be 'teetering' a little bit, again, ; ) but I'm still going to try and enter my card in Wendy's monthly "Simply Neutrals Tuesday" party!

Since the front of the card is mainly neutral colors I think I'll be fine : ) Oh I wish you would take a moment to stop over there and see the lovely entries she is sharing with us. There is something for everyone~
Our weather is cooooling way down here in N/W Montana. High's in the daytime only mid 60's and nights low 40's and high 30's forecast for this week. Autumn has taken hold. This "warm weather lover" must brace herself for colder winds and change . . .
May you have a blessed week ahead! With love and hugs <3
Karen
Isn't that the sweetest, prettiest, card ever!
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't want to receive such a treasured card as this?!
I marvel at the beauty some of you dear ladies create, what a gift of talent you have.
Chilly winds and cold weather...I'm not real sure I'm ready for it this year, which is unusual because I love winter.
I believe it has something to do with this new knee. 🤔 I find it to be cold on a warm day.
Enjoy your day in all its beauty ♡
Thank you for the visit to my blog Debbie! Means a lot to me~ Keep taking care of yourself friend. God bless, Karen

ReplyDeleteYou are heading into your winter and down here we are heading into our summer. Winter hasn't let go as yet though. We had some very wild winds and heavy rain overnight but, hopefully, the warm is on its way!! Take care my sweet friend! love and hugs xx
Thanks so much for the visit to my blog Marg! I feel so blessed~ Oh that's right, you're heading into Spring/Summer season. I must admit, I'm a bit envious : ) Perhaps I should be "snow-birding" to Australia come this time of year! But no, I best learn to live with what the Lord gives me, as each season brings something special with it; and lessons too~ Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week Marg! Hugs, Karen
DeleteHello Karen,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your posts, and this card is gorgeous. Your paper flowers look great; that's a great tip to make them out of the project's paper. I mus try that. Thanks! Your colour palette is divine.
Sending hugs,
Jesse XXX
Hi Jesse, and THANK YOU! for the visit to my blog! I appreciate you. I often buy my scrapbook paper from 'collections' that have several matching/complimenting papers, so I like to work within those papers when creating my own flowers or embellishments Thank you for your support and encouragement!
DeleteHoping all is well for you. Marg reminded me that you guys are heading into your Spring & Summer seasons; How wonderful!! Enjoy Jesse. Hugss to you, Karen
A beautiful card Karen!
ReplyDeleteI just love those birds, such a sweet addition to the card!
Hope you are doing a bit better each day- sending warm hugs

Hi Jackie! Thank you so much for browsing thru my blog and sending your wonderful thoughts and comments my way; I sure appreciate the 'love' : )
DeleteI will have to figure out how to add a 'follow me by email' ! : ) I am soo Not blog savvy! (I have a friend I can ask; she is a busy lady but perhaps she will take time to help : )
Hugs to you, Karen
Oh this is just lovely!! I really love the sentiment and how you began it on the outside and continued it on the inside of the card. Beautiful papers and embellishments - suitable for framing!
