95 and counting

This mixed media canvas was gifted to my Auntie Granny.  She's 95 years old still living independently and doing well. Auntie Granny is on the Mother Board at church and loves her hats.  She's known for her preserves, cakes and chow chow. We celebrated with a birthday party on Easter weekend and hope we can keep counting to age 100!  I used a watercolor palette from Michaels.  Love the purple!

Happy Resurrection Weekend

It's been a while.  I'm finally back to crafting after revamping rooms in my home.  No more sharing my craft studio with my guest bedroom.  It's two separate rooms now and I am loving it.  This card is my first project to make.   Bringing you sweet little Phoebe of Robert Jackson digitals.  Phoebe is dressed for Sunday worship with a powerful message, "Because He Lives!".

It's in the Song

This post was inspired by the song Everlasting Love by Carl Carlton.  The digital is by Robert Jackson and it was fun playing over at Embrace Your Art with Mary Joyce for the 'It's in the Song' challenge.  The stamp is a Bible Journaling sentiment by American Crafts.

Penguin Love

You must agree these are the most adorable penguins.  I used a variety of products with this card.  The penguin stamp set is by Stampendous using Spectrum Noir markers.  The Sizzix framelit step up card was the perfect way to create my scenery. Martha Stewart snow flake punch is the embellishment you can't see on the first photo. I sprinkled a little Stickles on them to make them pop. I can't believe it took me three hours to create the card, but I'm pleased with it.

MOJO Monday to the rescue!

Wow what a busy holiday season and it was truly hard to get back into the craft of things.  After decorating 12 Christmas trees and decors and a week with my nephew I needed a couple of weeks to recuperate.  Oh what fun!!  I LOVE the holiday season and now since the New Year has come, it's time to get back into cards and layouts.  Yes I said layouts.  My nephew was disappointed his album was not updated.  I started with my first card of the year thanks to MOJO Monday.

Prima Doll Pocket Letter Swap

At Embrace Our Art, I hosted a Prima Doll Pocket Letter Swap.  Julie Nutting Prima Dolls are like Lay's potato chips, you can't just do one.  I made three cooking theme pocket letters. The cooking embellishments were purchased for a recipe journal that I never started and thought, why not put them on the pocket letter and send recipes?

And here are a few extras I made.
