Fall Charlotte

Today's card is for Card Patterns Sketch 133. Our sponsor is Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps and they provided us with wonderful images to play with. I so enjoyed coloring Fall Charlotte. It's been awhile since I just sat down to color with my Copics. The papers are K&Co.

It seems the talk of the town are the new changes in Facebook. It definitely takes some getting used to and I've found myself complaining. Then, a friend reminded me that if that's my biggest complaint, then I lead a pretty cushy life. There are certainly more important things in life than FB. One of which is a story of a young man that encouraged me this morning. 

Nick Vujicic is a limbless man who serves the Lord faithfully despite his disability. I have heard of him before but never bothered to check out his story. He's Serbo-Croatian by heritage, but was born in Australia. I thought I'd share a link to his incredible story because I was in tears this morning just praising God for this young man's life. I hope you will be encouraged as well.

Speaking of FB, please consider joining my NinaB Designs Facebook page for more updates on my designs. (Oh, what a shameless plug! :-) Thank you!

Joy and Shabby CAS Christmas Card

What a great hop yesterday. Thank you all for your participation, kind words and excitement over the new Layers of Color's Christmas Collection. We are glad you like them.

I have two cards to share with you today. The first one uses Angelic and Christmas Verses clear art stamps. The angels were colored with Copics.

The second is a simple shabby card, designed to be easily mass produced. This is one of 10 I made yesterday. I will show the others in a future post. I stamped the Vintage Postcard cling stamp with Versamark. The sentiment is from Christmas Verses. 

Finally, the random winner from yesterday's blog hop is #49...

Layers of Color Release Party Blog Hop

EDIT: The giveaway is now over and the winner is announced HERE. Thank you.

We are so glad this day is finally here. Laura and I worked hard to put together the Layers of Color's Christmas Collection for this release and the LOC team is very excited to share it with you today.

It is an absolute delight for me to work with my dear friend Laura and combine our styles to create this new collection of LOC stamps. These special designs are created from our hearts to celebrate Christ's birth. In our new Christmas Collection we are offering Spellbinders die coordinating stamps, images for Christmas cards, quick 'n easy gift tags, and timeless card verses. There are  lovely classic designs that are wonderful beyond the Christmas season too!

Here is my card for today's hop. I used the Holly Angel cling art stamp and Sentimental Banners clear art stamp set, which coordinates with Spellbinders' Ribbon Banner dies! I love these dies so much, so I had to design stamps to go with them. It covers just about any sentiment I could think of that could fit in one of the 4 banner stamps in the set.

Don't you just love this beautiful angel that Laura illustrated? I colored it with Copics. Leave me a comment on this post and I will draw a winner who will receive a sample. The winner will be announced tomorrow!

LOC Sneak Peek: Glory to God

Today's card uses another set that Layers of Color will release on Monday, Sept 19th. This set is called Glad Tidings. Laura and I worked together on this set. Don't you just love those birds? And the font are so elegant and vintage. I die cut the stamped image with Spellbinders Circle Nesties and Eyelet Circle dies. I cut out the two birds after I colored them with Copics. The papers are Graphic 45's Christmas Past.
