Delight In The Lord

Biblical Impressions

Have you visited them yet today?

If not - GO!

Their scripture stamps are awesome and I love to use them in CAS cards espcially!

I used their stamp Delight

some scraps, a prima, and a button.

Can't get much more simple than that!

Can you tell I love verse stamps and CAS cards?

QKR Love Blog Hop

Hello All!  It is that time again! QKR Stampede is having a Blog Hop in the theme of Love!

I am using another stamp that is of my little turtle friend!

He is so stinking cute I don't think I will ever get enough of him!

I used the stamp Love Is Kind

which you can get in both digital or rubber!

I love to use my scraps, so I pulled the paper from my scrap bin and did a spiral edge punch from Stampin' Up! and added some fun buttons!

Isn't he just fun?

I hope you have enjoyed our Blog Hop today! 

Please come visit us and shop anytime!

Oh My! A Moose!

A Moose - How fitting for our new life in Alaska?

I loved him from the moment I saw him at Eureka Stamps

His fun and friendly mane is full of love and I tried to showcase that as best as I could - but I bet we could all come up with an amazing way that is fitting for our projects! Why don't you try helping out the

Hearty Moose with your own style?

I had fun using some scrap paper and tried to go some what monochromatic and manly with the browns.

Biblical Impressions Design Team Member Here!

I couldn't be happier to announce that I am a part of the Biblical Impressions Design Team!

I was honored and excited as I love to use scripture on my cards and to send to people I have been praying for. I may not always come across as the typical Christian - but I do have a growing faith and love of prayer - as I know first handed it works.

Here is another one of my smaller cards that I can slip into someone's book, or their pocket, or something.  I like to leave them so people know I have been praying for them without trying to be thanked for it. It isn't something we should need recognition for, we should just be doing it.

I used the Medium Sunflower Image - which can also be ordered in large.  I also used the verse
1 Thes 5:11.

Have you prayed for anyone today?

Stamping with The Dragon

I think it is so fitting that my first card back from the tornado induced hiatus is with the first company I was on a design team for!

Stamping Dragon still has their May Day challenge going on - so please check them out HERE!

Also don't forget that the store has an amazing new product of the Grab Bag that you can purchase HERE!

My card today showcases one of the images from the April bag - so don't miss out on the May Grab Bag!!

Magical Monday - #3rd Post For Today!

There's Magic In The Air at Paper Cupcakes!

This week's challenge is fabric and stitches...oooooooooo!!!

I love these fabric flowers I found at Michael's on clearance! I am on a no buy scrap budget. But the clearance price of $1 for 6 - couldn't pass up - and I bet you wouldn't either!

The stitching I kind of think I could have done better - but I am still looking for my stamp that actually is a stitch pattern - so it can be perfect every time!

I used the image "Designer Cupcake" for this challenge - I LOVE IT! Don't you?

I used scrap DSP, Georgia Pacific white cardstock, Reflections Fabric Flowers, and BIC Markers to color.

Now come check out some more inspiration and participate with us - just click

 Leah owner/artist of Heart Song Designs has a great new sketch for us!

And Here is my card using the digi "Blooming Stars"

I have been able to stick to my no new stuff budget pretty well. I have bought a couple things, but most were on clearance so I can justify under $5.00 - right?

I used all scraps, some clearance Reflections Pearls, and my awesome BIC Markers with this card.

Manly Birthday

Creative Clear Stamps Time!!!

"Cake on Fire" Is one of those single stamp sets you can do so much with. Male or female it can work! I used this card set about two weeks ago with pink and made it a gift bag tag. So fun!

I like that with sinlge stamps you can do basically whatever without an image to work around - but I still love my images ladies!!
Today it is simple and manly. I keep the colors dark, the layout simple and that is my idea of a manly card!

Scraps, Tim Holtz Brads, Unity Stamping Pad, and Georgia Pacific White.
