Oh the Sunset

I did a bit of experimenting with this card.  Over at Twist of Faith cards the twist is End of the Day - Sunset Colors.  My selection was yellow, orange, and brownish gray so I inked it all up first.  That's my visual view of the sunset. The yellow represents the sun that shines so bright. The mixture of yellow and red is orange, which let's me know it's cooling down.  As the sun is about to set it turns brownish gray to create a relaxed atmosphere.   We can clearly see the moon and the stars up above, which let's us know God is always keeping a watchful eye.  He is the light at sunrise and at sunset.

Sewing Room

Hello,
Actually I'm in my scrapbook room sharing a card I made for Crafts4eternity R#131.  Their theme this week is Sewing Room and I had everything accept my sewing machine. (It's still in the box lol)  I was inspired when I saw Evie's take on the challenge.  I love working with dress forms and it's been a while so this is my creation using a MOJO301 sketch.  The scripture is from Psalm 139:14 --  "I will praise thee:  for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:  marvelous are they works; and that my soul knoweth right well."

Receipe ingredients:
Stampin Up dress form die cut
Recollections True & Authentic paper
Websters Pages  Your Life. Beautiful paper & stick pin
Adornaments fiber
Michaels sewing ribbon

Close ups of my fiber, button, and sewing ribbon

Close ups of my dress & stick pin.  The dress is made from tulle for corsages.

Beautiful

This card was inspired by challenge #44 from Twist of Faith to make your own background and add an inspirational message.  I pulled out my stamps that I purchased five months ago.  Why do I hoard my tools?  I enjoyed The Secret Garden collection by Stampin Up.  It comes with the stamps and framelit die cuts!  Kind of like how it came out and the first word that came out of my mouth was beautiful.  Then I pulled out one of Our Daily Bread stamps, which I thought was  perfect for the card.

Recipe Ingredients:
Stampin Up Secret Garden set
Dew Drop ink pads
Our Daily Bread stamp
Stickle - crystal
Recollection bling

I added a pop dot behind a few for a 3D effect

Thank you for stopping by! I think I'm going to go back and play with this set a little more!  Also entering in Word Art Wednesday.Challenge 87 Anything Goes and 365 Cards Day 187 Stamp It All

Blessed and Highly Favored

We have to conduct an in-service training for our summer students and they have a teambuilding activity using a deck of cards.  My boss got the deck of cards donated by Horseshoe casino which came in a box. It was the cutest shaped box perfect to hold something at a desk. I woke up Friday morning at 4:00am and couldn't sleep.  Usually when I can't sleep I go straight to my scraproom and 2 1/2 hours later I created my vision using my bosses favorite colors chocolate and teal.

Yes indeed....I filled it with candy

I think my best work is early in the morning. Forgive me for the blury photos.  I rushed to take photos before I took it to work.  Thank goodness I wasn't late.  She smiled and said, "What for?"  I said, "Just because".  Then I showed her the photo of the original box.  She said, "What? No way."  I left her smiling.  Sometimes blessings should be shared 'Just Because'.  Entering this project in Path of Positivity - Caring  and Word Art Wednesday Challenge #87 Anything Goes

Take Some Time

Women take on many tasks often for others and seldom for themselves.   We need to take some time.  Ecclesiastes 3:1 reads,  “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavens. “   Today I spent time with family, had some quiet time for reflection and off for time to craft!  I turned on  95.7 Hallelujah FM and it’s been a breeze praising God in song and letting it inspire me to create!  My mother often tells me to, “Stop, sit down, be still and let God talk to you.”  Now I see why her favorite verse is Proverbs 3:6,   “In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths. “  Take some time....

Strength and Hope

I am a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.  Memphis Alumnae Chapter.  It’s a wonderful sisterhood found on Christian principles.  As the chair of our Courtesy committee, I send out cards to those who are sick, shut in, grieving, etc.   One of my sorority sisters called to thank me for her card.  She read the scripture to me and shared what she was experiencing and how it blessed her.  That was truly a blessing to me, because not only do I want to make them smile, I want to give them hope and courage in their circumstances.  This cute image by Robert Jackson digital shows friendship, support, and caring.  So if by chance you haven’t received your hug for the day it’s for you too AND if you have received your hug here’s another one.
