Thank you God for

I was just sitting down thinking about what I was thankful for and I start going down the alphabet and thought why not type it and put it on a card.  This is my inspiration for a challenge at Scraps of Color using a Robert Jackson digital.  This digi reminds me of those days when you prayed when you woke up, at breakfast, lunch and dinner AND you better not close those eyes and get to bed before you thank the Lord for another day.  I am most thankful for my upbringing.  Not a perfect child, but a child whose family believed in Quality Time.  I love those talks and walks and family gatherings for every occasion.

Live in the Spirit of Christmas

Of course I don’t believe in fairies, but they are beautiful and so is this fairy from A Day for Daisies.  She was colored with Spectrum Noir markers and the design is a sketch by Flutter By Wednesday.  As a little girl I was told a fairy would give me money when I lost a tooth.  Everyone had a fairy godmother, who is sweet as sugar.  A fairy is like an angel who protects you.  A fairy can make your dreams come true. Now that I’m older I know better, but right now in this moment I just want to “Live in the Spirit of Christmas” as a child. Lol  Silly me huh?!

Let It Snow

Snow?  Did I say that?  Not in Memphis.  When it snows here we shut down the city and although I would love to stay home and papercraft, I have to think about others who will be traveling to see their loved ones for Thanksgiving. Isn’t Tilda the cutest?!  She’s on her way to visit relatives

Oh Give Thanks

Hello Blog Friends...It's the Season of Thanksgiving!.  Oh give thanks to the LORD for He is good.  Be sure to join us over at Twist of Faith card challenges this week as We Give Thanks!  As always don't forget the 'Twist of Faith' you must include a positive or uplifting scripture, sentiment, or quote.  Our sponsor is Eureka and I'm using 'Harvest Bouquet' and who doesn't love receiving flowers?  Since some people are allergic to flowers this card serves the same purpose, but these flowers  last longer! I believe we should give our beloved friends and family the flowers while they live instead of when they die.  Tell someone how much you love them and follow it up with  a floral card.  They will love it!

This weeks Twist of Faith card challenge is piling it on with "Lots of Layers".  That's our theme for this week’s challenge. Our prize is sponsored by Meljens and the winner will receive 4 images!  I am using ‘Sick Little Bear’.  With the change in the weather, I know this card will come in handy.   I love working with My Minds Eye paper’s there are SO many pretty papers to select from.  So I used various papers, hearts, tissue paper with a button on top, bling on top of the lace, flowers on top of the grain ribbon,  brad on top of a doubled matted corner, & matted tag with ribbon.    Don’t forget the "Twist of Faith" you must include a scripture, verse or quote that is encouraging, uplifting or inspiring.

Another MOJO Monday 318

I  love sketch #318 so I created another card using an assortment of products by Michaels on the $2 lane.  It's the Melodies and Lace series.  The chevron and sheet music caught my eye.  The chipboard hearts were also part of the assortment.
