MOJO Monday 318

MOJO Monday never fails to help a sister out when she's looking to make a quick card.  They are really easy to go to since they are posted at the top of their blog.  I needed to make a couple of cards for a few friends with death in the family.  I went for the current MOJO Monday challenge #318

Birthday wishes

My dear scrappy friend and sorority sister Rhoda turned 60!!  To wish her a Happy Birthday, I colored this cute image of India Arie in her favorite colors.  The navy flower was added, because her party had a blue jeans theme. My intention was to make a gift card holder for her gift card, but I saw this pretty sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #223 and went for it.   I will definitely use it again.  I am also entering it into Scraps of Color Robert Jackson - Black Girls ROCK challenge.  My friend does ROCK.

 Didn't she do a great job with her cupcakes!  They were delicious made in vanilla, chocolate and german chocolate.  Yes you guessed it.....She LOVES to bake.

 

 

Happy Birthday Dear Rhoda......Happy Birthday To You!

 

 

 

In Remembrance

It's Tuesday and time for our Twist of Faith card challenge.  This weeks challenge is "In Remembrance" with the Twist of Faith to include a scripture,  verse or quote that is encouraging, uplifting or inspiring. I'm encouraging my receiver to Keep Looking Up.  When I saw Digi Darla's birdhouse flower pot, I thought about singing birds and pulled out my Martha Stewart punches to create my scene. I pulled out gel pens that I haven't used since I purchased them years ago and colored the image!  My goal was to create a CAS card......well I tried.

This is a close up of the Brown Sugar Sparklyfluff I added to the house to make it look natural and I also added some to the bottom of the grass that I made using my Martha Stewart fringe scissors.

Hope you join us this week.



And the ransom of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness.  Isaiah 35:10

Tag I'm It

Here’s my entry for Verve’s ‘Tag You’re It’ October Diva Dare.  I was inspired with this card by a tutorial from Lawren and Verve's ‘Let It Be’ set .  The adorable image is by Mo's Digital Stamps.  I'm sure I'll use this pattern as an insert in a mini album!

Mo Digital image
Bic Mark it markers
Verves stamps - Let It Be
Recollections True & Authentic paper
Webster's pages Your Life.  Beautiful
Ribbon FX  ribbons
Making Memories glittered flourishes

This is the front view with the tag inserted.  The cute image is a mini folded card.  When you open the card there are two inspirational messages. 

 

Do you see the two stamped messages inside?  When you pull back that flap you will see the inside of the card.  The part on the right flaps up (Faith can move mountains) for the inside message of the card.  The black piece with the floral design holds the back of the tag.


 

This is how it looks when the flap is down. That's why I call it my mini inspirational card.  It has so many opportunities to open and be inspired!

Word Art Wednesday - Uplifting Sentiments

My first Card/Envelope packet

Hi it's Tuesday and time for my Design Team post at Twist of Faith card challenges. I don't know about you, but I LOVE opening my mailbox to find a handmade card with love! Sure hope you stop by and check out the creativity from our Design Team and play this week! That's what we did.  We made a Postcard or Card with an Envelope Packet. I got a chance to make my first envelope using the We R Memory envelope punch given by my Scrappy friend Regina! Our sponsor is StampArt Design by Kathryn and I'm using Ari & Toby. It's raining love and birthday wishes.  By the way the winner will receive 4 of her images!!!

Look at Ari and Toby aren't they the cutest. 

 

To use my scraps, I took the spellbinder negative after I cut it and used it for the inside and added the sentiment by StampArt Design by Kathryn. Her sentiments were an added treat. Love the double-sided paper by SEI chocolat collection.

Don't forget to use the 'Twist of Faith' with Challenge #61 Postcard/Card & Envelope Packet. Use a scripture, quote or uplifting sentiment. After you finish the challenge it will be ready to bless someone special!

 

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. I Peter 3:15

Let us not be weary in well doing

My apologies for the delay in posting.  There have been so many sudden deaths in the families of my circle of friends. I got distracted from posting to make sympathy cards that I so  seldom make along with calls and visits.  This is my Design Team entry for Twist of Faith card challenge for this week’s posting with a ‘Harvest’ Theme.  You still have time to enter!  The scripture spoke to my heart as I created the card.

I enjoyed coloring this Cornucopia by Digi Darla Designs with Bic-Mark it markers.  Digi Darla will provide the winner with FIVE images so come on and share your card.  Don’t forget the ‘Twist’ by including a scripture, inspirational verse or positive words of healing, encouragement or support.

We look forward to seeing you each week!

Let the Wise Listen

This week’s challenge is “Things with Wings” at Twist of Faith card challenges. 

You should check out our new sponsor DeeDee’s Digi’s.  The image I originally selected caught my eye, but it wasn’t until I was getting ready to create today’s project it had nothing to do with wings.  Since she’s our gracious sponsor I couldn’t let her down so I selected “Falling For You Owl”  which is actually one of her freebies.  You should check out her site. I've got a few more on my list.

Hope you will join us this week with butterflies, birds, angels or anything with wings.  Stop by and see what the other Design Team members created.  Don’t forget the ‘Twist of adding a scripture or uplifting verse/quote or positive words of healing, encouragement or support’.  It will be sure to warm someone’s heart.  My printer was out of ink so I handwrote my scripture.  By the way it's Proverbs 1:5.
