Fun on Friday (Layers) "Joy"

(This is my second post today, if you are looking for the Blog Hop for Christian Paper Crafts scroll down!)

Thanks for visiting!! This evening I'm sharing a card I did for the Fun on Friday #102 at Christian Paper Crafts. It's all about layers. The challenge hostesses Jonia and Robyn challenged us to "Put some layers on our project to reflect the depth of God's mighty love" so that's what I've done with this. The verse that came to mind as I was putting this card together is from John 15:11 "These things I have spoken to you, that my joy remain in you, and that your joy may be full."

This stamp is from Taylored Expressions (Christmas Blessing) but joy is something that is available all year round!! Isn't that a pretty font.

Here is a close up of all those layers!! Base + white + green + stamped image on white + white + stamped image on teal/aqua (not sure of the real name but the colored card stocks are all Bazzill). The stamped background is from Taylored Expressions called Miniature Motifs and the Diamond/script stamp is from Technique Tuesday (sorry I'm not sure of the set.) Ribbon is American Crafts. The ink I've used is Memento Pear Tart. Lots of layers but a very easy card! (I probably will add some adhesive pearls to the top corner that is kinda naked but I didn't want to take the time to retake the pics!! Sorry!)

Thanks again for visiting and I pray you have a blessed Resurrection Sunday and may you find the joy of the Lord through the hope we have in Jesus Christ!

I had some Fun on Friday on Monday...

I know, totally weird title but hope it got your attention!! I did have fun on Monday doing the Fun on Friday challenge, is that better? Well, let me try that again. I made two cards, one for the Fun on Friday challenge and another for the Wednesday CASE Artist challenge at Christian Paper Crafts. So, two cards. I had fun. On Monday....period! And here they are without further ado:

The challenge was to use numbers and a Scripture for the Fun on Friday.CPC-FOF69

The designer paper is JillyBean, DCWV - The Natural Stack, SU cardstock (white); Button is from Gina K Designs, Stamp is Our Daily Bread Designs and I used the Memento rich cocoa ink; EK Success photo corner scallop is the punch I used for the corner accent.

My second card:

CPC-WCA#67

This challenge was to choose someone from the Christian Paper Crafts gallery to "Copy And Share Everything" (case) I picked a card made by Candace and you can see her card if you go over to CPC and check out the post for Wednesday Case Artist. Mine is a little different, I added the picket fence and the flower is a little different and also the sentiment (Taylored Expressions - Care and Concern set). But I used the same papers as Candace and changed the color of ribbon. All the ingredients came from the Taylored Expressions Key Ingredient kit (October Afternoon Paper - Go Fly A Kite) and the punches are from Martha Stewart (fence) and EK Success (flower). I also used Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 6 and Memento Ink, rich cocoa.

Well, I did have fun! Hope you have been inspired to create something fun too!

Have a wonderful week! I'll be sharing another card tomorrow!!

PS. It was fun, too! :-) Tomorrows post I will try not to use the word fun (tee-hee)

HE is ABLE challenge!

Hello Friends and Family,

Hope you are enjoying your Saturday! Here is a new challenge I'm entering and I want encourage you to check out Traci's blog "He is Able" it will bless you for sure. Her love for the Lord is so evident and she wants to do what she can to spread His love and His Word out to blogland. So please won't you go and visit with her and let her know I have sent you her way!

Here are Traci's instuctions: August 8th is our 40 day Anniversary...so WE Are Celebrating!

This challenge is about a very righteous man. It's Noah. Let me share a couple of things the Bible says about this man: Genesis 6:9-"But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God."And, Genesis 6:22-"Noah did everything just as God commanded him."
Now let's take a look at the number 40 in this part of the Bible: Genesis 7:4-"Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights..."Genesis 7:17-19-"For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered."
How to play: Make a card or bookmark depicting anything mentioned in these quotes about the righteous man, Noah. Or about the quotes pertaining to the number 40.

How to enter: At any time, please leave a comment with a link to your card or bookmark.

Then, mail your card and an extra envelope to:
Traci Starkweather
116 Colyer Drive
Longwood, Florida 32779

How to Win: Traci will enter the name of each person who sends their card into a random drawing. (Enter as many times as you would like!)

What You Will Win! The person's name that is chosen by random drawing, will receive the first half of all of the cards received for this contest! Yippee! The other half, will go into the very large blessed pile of cards for her blog!

Here is my card for the challenge and since we were talking of Noah I used a lot of blue for the water and browns for the ark. The dove with the olive branch suggests peace of course (the stamp says that!) however, after the waters receded Noah sent out the dove and on the second trip out of the ark of safety the dove brought back an olive branch to Noah - the storm had passed. After 40 days and nights of judgment comes a new day! If you are in the midst of a storm know that God has an ark of safety for you and that it is the Lord Jesus Christ. Call upon Him for your salvation and it will be a brand new start, a brand new day for you!!

CPC- FOF65

This card also qualifies for the Fun on Friday#65 challenge to use a Scripture on a card. You can find this challenge at Christian Paper Crafts!!

Have a great day and be blessed of the Lord!! This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Details:Paper: Karen Foster designer paper; Bazzill cardstock; Stamps: VERVE (sentiment) Dove image: Unity Stamp Co. ; Ink: Memento, rich cocoa, Distress ink, Faded Jeans; Ribbon: American Crafts: Stickles, Ranger; Classic scallop circle diecut (Nestabilities - Spellbinders) Cuttlebug, Divine Swirls folder.

Easy as 1-2-3!

I'm so delighted you've visited today!
I'm playing along with three challenges. One is a new one and I've been interested in playing along for a while now. One of the blogs I visit regularly is Savannah land 2 and Savannah is hosting over there at PDCC and showing off her craft room this week so when I saw her adorable card and saw the delish colors I knew immediately I'd have to play!! So.... without further ado, go check out Play Date Cafe and Savannah Land 2 . The next challenge that I was issued was from one of my very fav in the whole world blog the Spotted Chick and the challenge is to use kraft in your project for the weekly That's Krafty Thursday Challenge #28. Well, I feel like I'm cheating 'cause you can barely even see the kraft but I promise it is there! Last but definitely not least is our very own Christian Paper Crafts Challenge for Fun on Friday!! The challenge is Easy as 1-2-3. One stamp, two embellishments (I used buttons and ribbon) and three different pattern papers.

Here is my CAS card! I love, love the soft colors of the Basic Grey Wisteria line!! So pretty, but not so great to photograph. But if you enlarge the pic you'll get a better look if you want. I used the Tim Holtz Alterations Die and my Cuttlebug to cut the final (#3) paper and distressed with ink the edges (Distress Ink, peeled paint). The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts, ink Palette, black. The cardstock is Bazzill, buttons are Basic Grey and the ribbon is Offray.

just a little close up!

Thanks for looking and have a great Saturday!! It took forever to get this posted I've been emailing and texting my daughters who are at the Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum concert tonight!! Gotta run there is another email!

Happy Valentines Day

Hi and Happy Valentines Day to you all! Hope you have a sweet day!!

Here are four cards I made using a heart pocket for our Fun on Friday at Christian Paper Crafts. The little girls in my Sunday School class will be getting them. Each is a little different, which reminds me that each of us are unique yet beautiful in our Father's eyes. Have you had a sweet moment with the Lord today? If you haven't, what's stopping you? Perhaps it's time to think about eternal things. If you've not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior I think today would be a wonderful day to consider this! I sure hope you'll give Him your heart today! He has a love that surpasses any other, it is unconditional and so much better than chocolate, flowers or a card, it lasts forever!

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Fabulous Fun on Friday!!

Today has been one hectic day!! Never plan on having just a "simple" day at home (ha!)
My posting section of my blog is driving me nuts! It's doing weird stuff, so I'm not sure what's up with that! But Lord willing, I'll get it figured out soon!
Had the grandbabies for a couple of hours this morning (always a joy!) and then it was off to the church to help some of the kiddos to make cards for soldiers. Instead of going to school and participating in all the "ghoulish" stuff they like to make a day of it at the church by making cards for the troops, apple pies for their families, watching a faith-based movie and having lunch together, we did have a bowl of candy for all of us sugar lovers as well as rice crispie treats for dessert!! I'll need to go brush my teeth after this!!

I almost forgot to write about the FABULOUS FUN ON FRIDAY over at CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS!! You don't want to miss out! Here is what our wonderfully creative leader, Cindy has for us today: "It is not unusual to make a different size or shape of paper project, which is what our challenge is for today. Make a project that has an unusual shape out of the norm. Get creative and out of the box so we can see what you made.
Today you can also purchase a profile badge and play in this challenge to be entered into a contest for a Stampin' Up! Level 1 Hostess set of Country Morning. We all know what a cool set this is, so let's see what you can do. You have to upload your project to our gallery to be eligible and the contest will close at midnight Friday night."

Use keyword FOF28 when uploading here and keyword CPC-FOF28 when uploading to your blog or other online galleries.

You have a few hours left so get busy and let's see what you can do??? I can't wait to see what you are going to share over at CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS!!

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

We are having Fun on Friday!!

CPC-FOF27

Hello!! It's FRIDAY!! WHO-HOO!! It's kinda my day off, but not really... I've got a lot of "catch up" work at the church since I was gone last weekend, plus finish up the Bible Study for the Gospel of John, and I have to work tomorrow at the lss. I'm filling in for a young mom who wants to watch her little one play soccer and then she wants to attend the crop at the store...so I said I would help out this way. So, I'm praying that the Lord will help me manage my time well, today! I got to squeeze in some time for laundry and running to Costco, too!! And you are probably thinking, then get off the computer!! I will, I promise! Just wanted to post this today and I probably won't be back on until this evening... maybe!!

So, here is the FUN ON FRIDAY CHALLENGE from CINDY at CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS: Make a project using only one layer, one image, and one sentiment.

When uploading to the Christian Paper Crafts Gallery, please use keyword FOF27, and when uploading to your blog or other online communities, please use keyword CPC-FOF27.

I hope mine is okay even though I added a button on top of the ribbon, but it is only one button afterall!

Here's the recipe for the card:

Cardstock: Paper Accents; Ink: Stazon, jet black; Ribbon, BoBunny; Button, Foof-a-la; Prismacolor pencils, sienna brown, dark green, goldenrod; Smooch, Azure blue; Stamps: Image, Great Impressions, Sentiment: Inkadinkadoo (created by Lyn Dillin) both stamps are wood mounted.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderfully blessed day!

What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Mark 8:36

This has been one of those weeks, but I'm determined with the Lord's help and a lot of prayer warriors to get done what needs to get done!! I had to put the call out at church that I was feeling the pressure and starting to stress out because our ladies retreat is just around the corner and I've only got my outline for the session I'm teaching done, the craft sample hasn't even gotten started although I have the materials, the name tags aren't done yet and I have the grandbabies an extra day this week as well as having to work tomorrow (Sat). Plus I need to finish the John Bible Study (I'm enjoying that so much) as soon as the kiddoes go home later this afternoon. That usually is about a 6-8+ hour committment of time. I started it last night after our Thursday Bible Study for a couple of hours. So if you are reading this please keep me in your prayers. I REALLY need them! It's not always like this but occasionally I get a week or two in a row that is extremely overwhelming and I'm in one right now! Ok that's all I'm saying about that!

BIBLE VERSE THURSDAY and FUN ON FRIDAY are the challenges that are ready for you to tackle (it's football season... ya know!) at CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS Hopefully you can combine a couple of the challenges and have fun creating a unique card, altered item or possibly a scrapbook page. We missed posting SKETCH TUESDAY, but Alisa had some pressing family situations. Please keep her dad and the whole family in prayer, he's been battling cancer since the first of the year. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Alisa and her family....

BIBLE VERSE THURSDAY: Since ANGELLA'S been doing a lot of reflecting lately about where she's been and where the Lord is leading her, she would like to challenge us to do a project that is about reflections. For your project, you can interpret "reflection" in any way you like......make a scene with a reflection and add a verse, use a photo with a reflection, or choose any scripture which causes reflection within you. You may twist this any way you like....be as creative as you wish....and have fun!!
When uploading your project in our gallery, use the Keyword BVT26. If uploading to additional on-line galleries, please use the Keyword CPC-BVT26.

FUN ON FRIDAY: Today's challenge is to use an animal on your card.

Happy World Card Making Day! And BVT & FOF challenges

Welcome to my crazy weekend and.... Happy World Card Making Day!
Since I do make cards I thought I'd best share one today since it is afterall, "World Card Making Day" so in honor of that here is my card!

CPC-CM24 and CPC-ST25

It is actually a card from two challenges that were made this week at CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS From Color Monday and Sketch Tuesday! (and it's so much cuter in person!)

Little detail work: corner gradient snowflakes are stickers from Stampendous! I used two circle punches from EK Success punched out the paper and popped them up with a 3M product and added the silver Stickles to the center of the snowflakes.

Silver glitter dots are Stickles from Ranger. The paper already was glitzed up so I just added the Stickles to the white paper and the snowflakes. I popped up the little gingerbread man and the star, I did cut out the tree, but forgot to pop it up and already had it adhered, bummer. Oh well.

SU! stamp is from 1997!!! I guess it's retired (lol)

The pattern paper: American Crafts (Merrymint line - so cute! and double-sided) The pretty white background paper is from a wedding line and I'm not sure if it's Bazzill or not (oops! I'll try and find out). The ribbon is from American Crafts. I used Jet Black Stazon ink.

I had such an overwhelming week especially Thursday and Friday I totally spaced posting our Bible Verse Thursday challenge and Fun on Friday challenge (forgive me girls!)

Bible Verse Thursday Challenge: use your favorite verse pertaining to everlasting or eternal life. When uploading to Christian Paper Crafts gallery, use Keyword BVT25. If using an additional gallery or your blog, use the Keyword CPC-BVT25. There is no time limit on this but we would love to see this in the gallery over at CPC. Hope you play along!

Fun on Friday Challenge: We're having an inspiration challenge today! Cindy chose The Pottery Barn. If using another gallery or your blog use the keyword CPC-FOF24. Have fun and let's see where you get your inspiration from!!

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. Psalm 5:11

Pumpkins and Prismacolor! Stampin Sisters in Christ

CPC FOF23 AND SSC05

Here's my Fun on Friday card from CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS and Friday isn't over yet on the west coast!! But it is late and I've got to work tomorrow at Scrapper's Edge. It's Crop Pink weekend! So quick, here are the ingredients to my card:
The Prisma pencil colors I used on my card: goldenrod, light green, dark green, sienna brown. The kraft paper is Paper Accents, the pattern paper is Pink Paislee, the stamps are Great Impressions (pumpkins) and I'm not sure what company the sentiment is from, no markings on the wood block, the ribbon is American Crafts. It's pretty clean and simple! Enjoyed working with the pencils this was a first for me! Okay my bed is calling me! Goodnight and pleasant dreams!

I've also found a great new site called STAMPIN' SISTERS IN CHRIST it is a weekly challenge and this is my first week to participate! Here is what the gals over their shared with us:

Today's scripture was chosen by Kathy Winter: Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." (NIV) I'm sure this verse and the rest of this chapter are very familiar to most of you. I encourage you to read the entire chapter. This passage is a particular blessing to me: "I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink and find satisfaction in his toil... this is the gift of God." Ecclesiastes 3:12-13. Now that's some serious food for thought (and prayer)!

HERE IS THE CHALLENGE:

The seasons are changing as we speak! For those of us on this side of the equator, that means autumn is around the corner (while our Australian friends are feeling the sweet breath of spring). So Kathy's challenge is to make a card/project using the colors of fall. This opens up so many possibilities. What are the colors of fall to you?

Be sure and check out this Christ-centered site and be blessed!

But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, for You have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day of my distress. Psalm 59:16

Here are my ingredients and tools I used:

Distress Ink Dye Stamp Pads (Ranger Industries) I used Shabby Shutters, Antique Linen and Broken China; Inkessentials Non Stick Craft sheet (Ranger Industries) ; Inkessentials Mini Misters, (Ranger Industries) filled with water; Inkessentials Ink blending tool and foam (Ranger Industries); Manila tag (Paper Accents) Stampendous! sentiment, Inkadinkadoo swirl stamp; Heat tool (Marvy Uchida) Fiber (Ek Success)

There's no time limit on this and just have fun! When uploading to our gallery, please use keyword FOF19 and when uploading to your personal blog or other online galleries, please use keyword CPC-FOF19. Thank you for playing along and we can’t wait to see what you create! Have a blessed day.

Why are you in despair, O my soul? and why have you become disturbed within me? HOPE IN GOD, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence. Psalm 42:5 (NASB)
