'Tis the season 19

 Hi there! Today I'm joining along with the PTI's create Along With Us: September 2017 challenge. 

Here's my sample for the challenge:

 I combined a fun wreath from the PTI Wreath For All Seasons stamp set along with a sentiment from Vintage Ornaments.

 I was inspired by Dawn McVey's card that can be found here. I like how Dawn featured a pretty wreath with and Christmas sentiment.

For sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with Freshly Made Sketches:

Up next is a 12" x 12" oil painting featuring a garden of pansies:

thinking of you 38

Hi! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I'm joining along with the June PTI Blog Hop where the challenge is to create a project based on the inspiration photo shown below:

 I'm always in need of cards to send to my dear sister as she continues to battle metastatic breast cancer which has spread to her brain. Thank you to my dear blogging friends for your prayers, kind thoughts and words. 

I combined a couple of my favorite PTI stamps sets to create this card. The mini jar is from the PTI Friendship Jar Summer Fillers and the blossoms are from the PTI Twig Wreath stamp set:

 I was also inspired to paint the jar of flowers on a 8" x 8" canvas using oil paints:

For card sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with the current Fusion Card Challenge:
