School Theme - Sunday Style #7

Hello delightful friends and family,

Here is a card I did a while back but never posted.  I'm entering it in Amy's Sunday Style for school related projects.  This is a Mo Manning Digital image (Yale)  that I colored with Copic markers.

Here's a homework notebook I decorated with a library card, stickers, tag and stamps and distress inks.

That's it for me today!!  Hope you all have a great weekend, it's coming up fast!

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.  Isaiah 26:3

Simple Things - Sunday Style Challenge 6

Hello Delightful friends and family!! 

Just a very quick post to share this card.  I'm entering it it the challenge from Amy's blog Scrappin N Style for the Sunday Style Challenge #6 - Fall theme.  I'm just getting it in under the wire!  So thankful we had an extra day, I needed it!!   Sorry the pic isn't the greatest, I had to take it this evening and the lighting was poor. 

The end of summer and the beginning of fall means pulling out my sunflowers, leaves and pumpkins to decorate.  So, I chose a sunflower stamp from Taylored Expressions called Thankful.  I colored it with my Copic Markers (R59, YG63, YG95, YR20,YR15) and fussy cut it out and adhered it with dimensionals.

Other Ingredients:  Designer Paper: Prima Marketing (Doodle Deux) from the Key Ingredient kit for July, Bazzzill card stock; Memento Tuxedo black ink; American Crafts ribbon; EK Success corner rounder punch.

Thank you for looking!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 53:5

Birthday Card - Sunday Style Challenge 5

Happy Friday to you all!

Hubby is taking the two little granddaughters for a walk to the post office (Jake and Addy are off to the waterslides with their mom & dad, otherwise we'd have all four here today) and so I thought I'd sneak in here real quick-like and post this card I made early this morning for Amy's Sunday Style Challenge.  The ingredients follow...  I'd best hurry I think I hear the pitter patter of tiny feet!  I'm also off to finish cleaning we are having a big BBQ and our Church "Family Night" in our backyard with the group from Teen Challenge.  I'm so thankful Kerry (hubby) has this week off from the mill, I don't know how I'd get everything done!

Splash of color...a card - SSC#4

Hello and Happy Friday to my Delightful friends and family!!

Today  I have a card for Amy's Sunday Style challenge at Scrappin' N Style.  The challenge was to use one stamp, one punch and the colors turquoise, yellow and pink.  I saw a cool technique using alcohol inks, glossy paper and compressed air so  thought I'd give it a go with my own twist because I couldn't find my glossy paper (ha!)   I've used 3 Dylusions Spray Inks, Watercolor paper and I used my Maxwell Blast Away Multi-Purpose Duster and voila!  Here is my card:

Ingredients:  Stamp: Taylored Expressions (Faith in Bloom); Punch: Marvy Uchida small blossom; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Dylusions Spray Ink: Bubblegum Pink, Lemon Zest and Vibrant Turquoise; Bazzill Card stock and Pacon Water Color Paper.

Thanks for visiting and I have another card to share later on, plus a few digi layouts I've been working on!  God bless.

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of you, at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.  Psalm 16:11

Neon Happy Birthday - CPS#276 and Scrappin' N Style #3

Happy Friday to all my Delightful friends and family!!

Hope you have an excellent weekend ahead of you.  I'm working on Saturday at the local scrapbook store (usually I only work there on Mon. and Tues.)  I was needed to fill in until the new girl gets trained, which I'm happy help out. It does make the weekend very short though!

Here is a card I made for Amy's Style challenge #3 at Scrappin' N Style.  Hope you'll check out her blog and challenges.  She is the Cricut go-to girl around here!  Her color challenge inspires using neon colors and then to make it sweet, so here we go!  This was definitely a challenge for me!  Here is the sketch from Card Positioning Systems  this week is #276

 

 The Stamp set I've used on the front of the card is from Taylored Expressions : Build a Treat.  I've used Memento Love Letters ink to stamp the sentiment and Archival Ink in Venetian Orange to stamp the cone and topping.  The background paper is Die Cuts With A View (it's an older 8x8 pad, I'm sorry I cannot remember the name but it had something to do with sweets!). The card stock is Bazzill (Bubble gum and Limeade).  I've used Neenah bright white to stamp my sentiment and add the ice cream cone diecuts to. (Build a treat matching dies from TE).  I've also used the Neenah card stock as a base for my panel that was created using the Dylusions Ink Sprays ( Bubblegum Pink and Fresh Lime) and it also is the ice cream! The ribbon is from my stash.  I drew the white lines with a white Sharpie Paint pen. Spellbinders Nestabilities Deckled rectangles is the die used to cut the focal panel.

 

Inside sentiment: Gina K Designs (One in a Million) and the ice cream cone is a Unity Stamp (Retro BBQ... sweet summertime). Copic markers to color and Memento Tuxedo Black to stamp and white Sharpie Paint pen to outline.

Thanks a lot for visiting today and hope you have an excellent weekend!

If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.  1 John 1:7

Fresh Flowers and Grace!

Hello Delightful friends and family,

Just a quick post to share a couple of items that I made.  The first is a tag that I made for Word Art Wednesday #38. The challenge is "Never Give Up" well, the word "grace" has so much meaning for me. Especially knowing that even though I don't deserve God's grace, He has generously given it to me through my Lord Jesus Christ and that makes me want to persevere and not give up.  He doesn't give up on me!!  It is definitely transforming and so I've included a butterfly on this tag, what better way to describe a transformed life - catapillar to butterfly.  So glad the caterpillar doesn't give up the battle with the cocoon! 

If you are facing a battle, don't give up. Reach up and know the Lord is there ready to extend His hand of grace to help in the time of your need.  

Here are the ingredients: Tag, (4.25 x 5.5) Paper Accents; Inks: Distress Inks and stains, Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters; Distress Pen: Faded Jeans; Ranger Clear Embossing powder, Perfect Pearls Mist (Mint), Paint Dabber (Lettuce); Archival Ink: Aquamarine; Memento Ink: Pear Tart;

Stamps: Hampton Arts (Beautiful butterfly); Taylored Expressions (Grace); Grass (Stencil from Plaid Folkart, Dragonflies).

My second project is a card and I used Amy's color inspiration photo Scrapin N Style #2 and Card Positioning Systems #275 sketch. 

 

Amy said on her blog about the color challenge to " think fresh" and what's better than fresh flowers and a smile!!

Here are my list of ingredients:

Paper: Echo Park Summer Days collection (the larger flowers are actually paper pieced with one of the papers and the smaller ones colored with Copic Markers); Card Stock: Bazzill;  Stamps: Gina K Designs (One In a Million set); Ink: Memento, Tuxedo Black ; Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities: Large Deckled Rectangles and Standard Circles; Buttons (stash) and Ribbon, American Crafts.

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for visiting!

There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1    now that's grace :-)
