Two Chances to win!!

Happy Labor Day!!
Guess what? That's exactly what I'm getting ready to do: LABOR!! My craft room is in need of desperate overhaul and I'm ready to start the task! I might even take a picture of it!

But before I do anything, I've got to share some exciting stuff that's is going on over at CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS!! Two exciting opportunities to win some awesome stamps!! Don't you love to win stuff? I remember about two years ago I did a survey over at the EK Success site and I won $100 in merchandise, I was in crafter heaven!! It was totally unexpected! Let me tell you I had happy feet when I got the news of that one!! Whoo-hoo!
Now here is your chance! So the first is a prize connected to our COLOR MONDAY CHALLENGE. Here is the color challenge: Use Elegant Eggplant, Taken With Teal, and Old Olive. If you don't have those exact colors, it's okay to use something close to them. These colors can be used on any project, layout or altered item. Have some fun with this! Here are the details from Cindy: This surprise contest is open until midnight Sunday (9/13) and our design team will pick a winner. We'll announce the winner with next week's Color Monday challenge.The prize is the Breathe stamp set from our September vendor of smARTworks. This stamp set includes 4 butterflies and 1 sentiment stamp, perfect for 2-step stamping.
When you're project is complete, please upload it to our gallery using keyword CM21 and when uploading to your blog or other online galleries, please use keyword CPC-CM21.

Here is the second opportunity to win a stamp: Christian Paper Crafts is having another Posting Challenge! Our sponsor is Our Daily Bread Designs who has generously donated one of their newly released stamp sets for the winner of either Happy Birthday or Jesus. Okay, here are the rules.

The challenge starts on Monday, September 7, at midnight and ends Saturday, September 12, at midnight.

Be sure and check out the CPC DESIGN TEAM DELIGHTS our featured vendor this month is smARTworks. Check often for new creations with you in mind for inspiration and great ideas!

CHELSEA, YOU'VE BEEN CASED!!

Hi and welcome to Delightful Details!
I'm very excited to share our challenge today from CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS! Today is CASE Artist Saturday and today's featured artist is Chelsea Cook, one of our Design Team members at CPC. I'm so excited for you Chelsea! Congratulations! I love your work and you have such a tender heart towards God, it is such a blessing!! I'm really hoping to have time this weekend to CASE (copy and share everything) something of Chelsea's, of course I won't do it justice but I'll give it a try! If you want to play along, be sure to check out her gallery at CPC or be sure to head over to her blog at "All things through Christ..." Chelsea is starting to design items for home decor so be sure and check out her Etsy store when you go to her blog. I've been following Chelsea's blog for quite awhile and you'll find some of her creations over at the Triple the Sketch blog, too. Lots of inspiration!!!
When you upload your creation be sure to label it CPC-CAS20 if it is in any gallery than Christian Paper Crafts, hope you'll play along. I'm excited because I just finished the Bible study to post on Monday (hooray!) we are studying John Chapter 3 so be sure and check it out at CPC!
Well, got to run, lots to do to get ready for tomorrows services! I have so much to do still! Many people will be gone for the weekend I know of at least 4 families that will be out of town, so that's going to leave a big section of empty seats tomorrow. (sad face) That's kind of frustrating for my husband because he puts so much into getting ready for the services, so please pray for him that he will be encouraged rather than discouraged! Puts more pressure on me as well, cause I have to fill in where there are missing persons that usually help out on Sunday. Oh well, I'm blessed to be able and healthy to do it! Maybe we will have lots of visitors! But this also means my Sunday School class is going to be teeny tiny! (sad face, again!) Summer is ending so perhaps things will settle down for a bit and people will be attending more regularly, until the holidays anyway! Have a wonderful evening and enjoy!

FFFFUN ON FRIDAY!

Hey it's Friday!! Not just your typical Friday but a Friday that leads into a three day weekend, Friday! Are you doing a little happy dance to that one?

Jen aka Miss Boo, CAS challenge leader at SCS will be hosting our FUN ON FRIDAY over at CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS for Cindy today. She is the Queen of "Clean and Simple" cards. Be sure to check out her blog and her SCS Gallery

Our challenge for today is to make 3x3 cards. I love using these sized cards for sending with small gifts such as hostess gifts when being invited to a friend's home for dinner. When uploading your project to our gallery, please use keyword FOF21. When uploading your project to your blog or other online galleries, please use keyword CPC-FOF20.

Color Monday (CPC-CM20) "Hope Does Not Disappoint"

Hi friends!!
Are you excited about the 3 day weekend ahead. I'm praying that you have a fun and safe "end of the summer" holiday! Enjoy your time with family and friends.


I'm hoping to have more "creations" posted later but for now I just wanted to get my COLOR MONDAY CHALLENGE from CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS posted! If you remember the color challenge was: old olive, ruby red, and more mustard (all fun color titles but I don't have a single one of those so I improvised!)


Here is my card and the list of "ingredients will follow!

CPC-CM20

I like this little stamp "Hope" it's just the right size and I really like the font used. It's from the Paper Company Studios and it's from the set called "Faith Greetings" (clear stamp set)
The Flower Stamp is from Hero Arts, I wasn't able to find it on their website (probably retired and it's a wood block stamp) but I just love it and it has so many possibilites! The Distress Inks from Ranger are Frayed Burlap, Mustard Seed and Dried Marigold, they were used to make the background on the focal point section by using a blending tool and a little water on a non-stick Craft Sheet from Inkessentials also a Ranger product. I stamped the images with Perfect Medium from Ranger and then used the following Perfect Pearls: Forever Red, Forever Green, and Forever Violet. The accent green pearls are from Queen & Co. Two pieces of mulberry paper was used from my stash and the base of the card is from Paper Accents: Recycled Paper Bag. The "ruby" red and "mustard" yellow cardstock is Bazzill. Thank you for looking and my prayer is that you will keep "HOPE" in your heart!

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:5

It's Thursday, Already?? No denying it...

Hey there!!
Can you believe it's Thursday already? Wasn't yesterday just Monday? Where has my week gone?? Questions, questions! I've heard "older" people say that the older you get the quicker the years fly by and I would like to say I can't relate to that, but I'd be lying, so I guess I'm now in that "older" category! Drats!! I've tried to deny it but there is just no getting around it! HOWEVER, I am deciding to not let that steal my joy! I want to enjoy each day as it comes with no regrets! So, I'm keeping my eyes on the Lord and I'm not going to worry about tomorrow. (that is Biblical, you know!!) How about them apples?! (oh my... this is scary... I'm sounding like my mother...again! ok, I'm not going to freak out, my mom is the youngest 71 year old I know!). And if my dear friend Andresa is reading this she better leave me a nice comment about age! (lol)

I don't know where all that came from I was wanting to post about BIBLE VERSE THURSDAY and I got carried away!! Again!!
You've got to go over to the CHRISTIAN PAPER CRAFTS site and check out Angella's card!! It is so neat. I just love the butterfly stamp and the sentiment she used. It's perfect and the card is so cool! Or go to her blog and check it out there but definitely leave a comment, she really did such a nice job combining some challenges. Way to go Angella!! You rock in the card world, that's for sure!!
Here is our CHALLENGE from Angella: This week's Challenge is to use a verse about friends or friendship, plus incorporate butterflies (or dragonflies) on your card, layout, or altered item. There is no time limit or challenge police.....just have fun!!! When uploading your project at CPC, use the Keyword BVT21. If uploading to another gallery, use Keyword CPC-BVT21

Please don't forget about the contest going on at CPC. I know if you're a crafter, you'd love to win some incredible stamps!! So head over there and check it out and register, then tell a friend! I think you'll be glad you did!!

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be aceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14

I Might Have Car Lag...

Hello!

I'm so late in posting this weeks challenges from Christian Paper Crafts, I guess I have "car" lag! Can I use that as an excuse? You all have heard of jet lag, right? We returned late Sunday evening after being gone for a few days up in Oregon. Here it is Wednesday and I'm still trying get my "crafty" side back in the creative flow! I think it will hit me on Friday! I've got two grand babies all day on Thursday (today as well) so I probably won't get too much done in the way of creating unless it's getting down on the floor and playing cars and making roads out of miscellaneous objects! And that is okay by me :-) I do that a lot!!! So in the meantime let me get you caught up on the fabulous challenges going on!! I hope you will venture out of your comfort zone and play along with us and when you do be sure to upload your creation in the gallery for all of us to see over at CPC! Don't forget the membership drive that's going on too! This is an opportunity to win some fabulous stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs.

Monday Color Challenge by Janette Olen: This week your colors are to use:old olive, ruby red, and more mustard This should be a nice fall combo for you. Please feel free to use anything close to these colors for your papercraft. You can create any papercraft that you like for the challenge and there is no time limit to play.When uploading to the gallery please use the keyword CPC-CM20
