Key To My Heart Valentine Box

Key To My Heart Valentine Box

Welcome back, my friends!  I greatly appreciate you stopping by.  I have not posted a project since December 24. and I am finding it difficult to create after the holidays.  My desire has decreased.  Have you experienced this?

To try to get inspired, I am responding to a Color Challenge on Splitcoaststampers today.  For the challenge, the hostess selected the Stampin’ Up! colors of Real Red, Powder Pink, and Silver.  She also selected “hearts” as “dessert”.

 


Ephesians 5:1

 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”

CAS-UAL Fridays Tutu – Happy Birthday Shadow Box Card

CAS-UAL Fridays Tutu – Happy Birthday Shadow Box Card

Yesterday was my precious granddaughter’s birthday and I created this shadow box card for her using the Cas-ual Fridays Tutu Stamp Set.  I have often talked about my granddaughter, Mikayla, who just turned four years old!  Wow, time is flying by and she is growing up.  It seems like yesterday that I was holding her in my arms right after she was born.  This little girl makes my heart so very happy!  Therefore, I created this card in colors she loves and little girls dancing in their tutus.  She loves putting on a tutu and dancing around.  She is so precious and I love her immensely.


Malachi 3:2

“But who can endure the day of his coming?  Who can stand when he appears?  For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap.”

Christmas and Winter Scene Bauble

Christmas and Winter Scene Bauble

I love creating 3-D crafts, and lately, I have really enjoyed doing so.  Today I have for you a 3-D Christmas and Winter Scene Bauble.  I created it in response to Saturday’s Splitcoaststampers Inspiration challenge.  The hostess for the challenge selected this site from which to draw inspiration.  I selected this Tree Scene Glass Ball Ornament as my inspiration.

This is my inspired bauble:


Matthew 24:42-44

Jesus said, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.  But understand this:  If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.  So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

PTI Make It Market Wonderland Kit

PTI Make It Market Wonderland Kit

How often do you purchase stamp sets/kits because you think you have to have them and when you get them, you do nothing with them?  I have so many unused stamping kits that it is embarrassing.  For example, I purchased the Papertrey Inc. Make It Market Wonderland Kit in October but had not used it until this past weekend.  Believe me, I have many others that have never been used.  The only reason I used this kit was to respond to a Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge.  I created this Wonderland Cloche with the kit in response to my inspiration piece.

The site selected by the Splitcoaststampers hostess for inspiration is the Josh & Main website.  This pillow is my inspiration piece.


Colossians 2:8

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.”

Lawn Fawn Christmas Dreams & Shut the Front Door

Lawn Fawn Christmas Dreams & Shut the Front Door

Hello, and thanks for stopping by.  Last Saturday, Splitcoaststampers provided a wonderful site for its Inspiration Challenge.  I saw the following Christmas card on the site and it inspired me to create a shadow box card.

Here is a photo of the shadow box card that I made.  I did not have a nutcracker stamp, so there are none sitting at the front entrance.  The lights are turned off inside; therefore,  it may be difficult to see inside.  However, do not be concerned as I have other photos that show the inside.


Luke 22:47-51

(Jesus being arrested)  “While he [Jesus] was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them.  He approached Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”  And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.  But Jesus answered, “No more of this!”  And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.”

How to Assemble Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set

How to Assemble Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set

Have you purchased any of the new Art Impressions Flutter Stamp and Die sets?  They can be difficult to assemble.  I think that the Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set recently released is more difficult than the ones I used from the Art Impressions spring 2018 release.  I struggled with the Santa Flutter and decided to provide a tutorial on how to assemble the Art Impressions Santa Flutter Set.

I submitted this card today for a color challenge on Splitcoaststampers.


Matthew 7:1-5

Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.  For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.  Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?  How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
