Thank you card

I made this card last year and thought about entering it into magazine but changed my mind. Mainly because I was too lazy.
I added distessed ink to the white flowers and sprayed them with glitter mist.
I used a simple thank you stamp inside this charm and used some brown twine to secure it on. Hopefully this is the last card from last year I forgot to post. Though I think I have a few more :)

Male Birthday Cards continued

Here are my two other male birthday cards. I have the hardest time with male cards. However these candles are perfect for a simple addition to any birthday card.
 I embossed these candles on the bottom card. I wish I would have done it to the top as well but oh well. I also added Stickles to these candles.
The candles are cut from Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge. The stamp on the bottom is from Stampin Up. The top is unknown.

Hope you are all doing well today. I am on day three of an ugly cold. I feel so much better today but lack energy still so blogging instead of crafting. Hopefully my energy will be back soon.

52 Weeks of Gratitude

Inspired Stamps is starting a weekly challenge of gratitude. I have a tendency to focus on what I dont have or my unanswered prayers instead of all the wonderful things I have in my life. So I am going to try and join in on this challenge. We will see if I follow through all year but I have a plan for that.
 I am using a small binder to hold my gratitude notes. I used a HLO stamp and Psalm's 18:2 scripture which is a very important verse to me.
 I started my book with the thing I am most grateful for, my husband.
 I am making mine like a scrapbook. I used index cards that I punched and cut down for my notes.
 I added a love scripture to this page and one of my favorite pictures of my hubby.
 I used the journaling stamps thankful on both pages.
 I and some more Inspired stamps hearts and scripture to my note on the second page.
There are scripture to follow each week if you want to join in on the fun. I had to start my book with the most important thing in my world.
Here are January's scriptures. You can find all the details and join in on the fun here. http://www.inspiredstamps.blogspot.com/2012/12/join-us-for-52-weeks-of-gratitude.html
Jan 6:  Psalm 118:24
Jan 13 Psalm 92:4
Jan 20 Psalm 47:1
Jan 27 Psalm 28:7
