Always On My Mind

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  Hope I didn't get you humming that song in the title all day! Have you had a good week so far?  We are having some nasty weather today - pouring rain, thunderstorms and high winds.  There were some tornado watches/warnings around AL earlier, but most of them have expired by now, I think.  Sure wish I didn't have to go out in the rain!  Anyway, before I do, I'm popping in to share a card I made for a few challenges I like to do when I can.

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Primrose Petals and the patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft Chanteuse collection.  My sweet image is Higher Window from MayzyArt.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I cut out around the image with my Silhouette Cameo.  I also used the Cameo to cut out two heart borders, using a freebie cut file called Hearts Grow Border from Debbie here, and the heart doily from a free cut file called Layered Doily 26 shared by Monica here.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  I will be around to visit as soon as I get back home.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
MayzyArt Challenge #009 (romance)
Papertake Weekly (sketch #75 or any PTW sketch; I used #75 below)
Love To Create #50 (anything goes; must have sentiment)
The Squirrel and The Fox #36 (something new; I used my new Cameo and new cut files)
Loves Rubberstamps Challenge #37 (have a heart)
Color Throwdown #227 (Rose, Pink, Kraft, Green)

Here is PTW-75:


Have a great day and see you soon!

  4. Carla, your card is gorgeous. Stay safe! In WI we are getting 7-8 inches of snow right now. Luckily I have the day off, but don't look forward to having to go out to snowblow and shovel when it stops.

  7. Ooh, beautiful, Carla. I love that heart doily and your pretty image.
    Unfortunately, I am one of the ones that had a tornado warning at 3:00 a.m. this morning. It's scary enough without it happening in the night (dark) hours. It's o.k., though, but has started raining again. Ugh! The dark, dreary, dank, depressing weather continues.
