Faith Verse Guest Designer....Dec. 26, 2011

Hello Friends and Welcome to my Blog! :)

Today I have a very talented and sweet designer Carolyn Phillips!!! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas but I am glad it is over and hope you remember to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus!! I know I sang to him...always! hehe and now let's get to our featured designer today! :) Don't forget to give the bloggy love! Be blessed! :)

There are so many wonderful verses for this time of year, but the verse I choose as a favourite has been a favourite for many years. It is from Luke ch2 and is the beginning of the message the angels brought, “Fear Not”  Speaking directly into the immediate need, and telling of the saviour, the cause for hope, the first time the good news of the gospel was spoken, it began with the words ‘Fear Not’. This first proclamation was to deadbeat shepherds, on the edges of society, but the gospel was for them, just like it is for us. The good news of Christmas is that we need not fear because Jesus came, lived and died and lives.

 

My project is based around another tag, using several of the techniques I picked up doing the Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas. I used alcohol inks on a transparency and then put blending solution on a stamp and stamped it on top. I cut the tag shape out and glued it to the background. The angel was stamped and heat embossed before being cut out and mounted on sticky pads. The words are stickers and it is finished off with a button threaded with net and net/twine at the top. The whole tag has then been mounted on a card and used as a Christmas card for my daughter. (and she was very pleased with it).

 

 

 

Hope you have a peaceful Christmas and a blessed new year.

 

Wow what an awesome project! thanks so much Carolyn...much love and hugs to you gir! :) You are a blessing! :)

Thanks friends as always for stopping by and have a blessed day! :)

Merry Christmas to you all! :)

Hello Friends!

Merry Christmas!! I hope you all have a blessed time with friends, family and your family.  I don't celebrate it like I used to...I stay home with my son and we serve on Christmas day in the soup kitchen.  Makes me remember what it is all about...remembering Jesus and celebrate to honor him and wish him a "Happy Birthday"! so remember the importance of the season....Jesus and hope, wonder, and most of all Love!  I am so disappointed that we didn't have snow this year was really hoping the weatherman was wrong...hehe...but I guess not ...so it is kind of weird....hehe...but from my house to yours ...Have the most blessed Christmas ever! :)

For my project today I made a LO telling our story of how we celebrate Jesus' birthday ...my son and I have a tradition of  reading Luke chapter 1 and then we get our favorite dessert or a dessert that we want for that year and put a candle in it and then we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus! :) It is a great tradition and hopefully something Josh will hand down to his children this tradition.

I planned on taking a picture of our dessert this year and put it in the green space.  That way a recorded memory for this year of 2011.

For the recipe of the LO: First off I used my Red Stickers from my collection to spell "Happy Birthday Jesus" then I used a Christmas printed paper from my stash (can't remember the origin of this) and sticked it...hehe..and then typed up the story/tradition on the computer as well as the other words on white cardstock then cut some red paper to pop it up a bit to stand out. Then I cut the squares from the glitter green cardstock I had in my stash for the nativity scene and the future picture of the dessert and pasted that.  The flowers I just cut three large size and then a smaller size which the smaller size I smashed them after I inked them a bit with green ink pad then I put a adhesive glitter gem for the centers and then cut the leaves and added that to the flowers then pasted to the page. Voila...easy peasy but pretty! :) Don't you think the flowers look like the Poppies? hmmm....

blog so you don't miss a thing! :)

Here is my ornament for the hop...I had a different ornament originally and well we had an incident that I um...don't want to talk about here....so I had to scramble and make another one at 1 am in the morning of the hop...not a good time but anyways made it! I decided to forget the paper/glass one do an altered 2 inch frame that I have of my oldest son's grad pic from a couple of years ago.  Hope you like it! :)

Recipe:  I took a  2 inch frame that was already crackled and glue gunned these flowers and leaves and then I put gems on the one large flower, and the butterfly and then I blinged it with some little bling I had leftover.  The flowers were easy to make and I inked them and rolled them up and easy peasy...then I put a ribbon on the back and glue gunned it so it stayed in place and then finished! :)

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to go to the next stop...the talented:

I am a Guest Designer for Susan Today - Dec. 15, 2011

Hello Friends and Welcome to my blog! :)

Today I am Susan's guest designer on Susana's Corner so please give the love to both of us...I completely forgot this GD post and so I came up with something quick which makes it a nice last minute gift for anyone...and today I did a gift that can keep for all year around and you can do many things with this...I want it to be simple for a friend I am giving it to but I know of another I planned to make and I am going to bling it up...hehe...

You know those magnet clear picture plastic frames you can buy for a buck or a pack for a couple of dollars...this is what I do to give inexpesnively so that way my thought is out there...here is what they look like plain and you can put a whole lot because of the space btw the plastic parts of it.


But I choose to do a confetti cardstock and stamped some images on them and chalked it up to make it soft and then let it all dry and voila put in the frame and they can hang this on their fridge or where ever there is a magnetic feature.  Pretty easy peasy but nice for stockings and tree hangings even...something to think about the other one I am going to show later..I am going to add a different kind of image and put some bling on the plastic...oh yea...



Yep you will have to come back and see that one...hehe...

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day friends! :)

Faith Verse Guest Designer....Dec. 14, 2011

Hello Friends and Welcome to my blog! :)

Today I have my Friend Lynne Kirsch again as my guest designer...woohooo! ...hehe...she is so talented and love her creative projects and today is so beautiful! make sure you check out her blog Her Craftiness! Check her project out below and don't forget to give the bloggy love.:)

Take it away Lynne! :)

Another wonderful day in blogland as I am Kari's Guest Designer - woo hoo 2 days in a row - for her Faith Song For His Glory. I have chosen a song that I know others have sung but I love the version by Alabama - Happy Birthday Jesus. 

For my project, I made a gift for Jesus as the words say, this gift I give to you -- it is the gift of Jesus.

This is a slider card using the gift package using the Cricut Cartridge Simply Charmed cut at 5.75-inches using Mrs. Claus' Kitchen Paper Stack, the black paper is from my scratch box, and I used the prism hologram paper for the bow with the bakery twine (thank you Edwina Brown) tied gift tag.

When you slide open the card, it shows my gift for you -- the gift of Jesus. Baby Jesus was cut at 2.75-inches from Cricut Cartridge Christmas Frolic. Now, I cut all pieces from scraps but I cut Baby Jesus face and blanket out of white paper and then shaded the paper. The background paper is from Michael's and is a Reflections Hologram .

Well, I hope you enjoy not only my song I chose but my special gift for you! Merry Christmas and thank you Kari and be sure to stop by and give her some bloggie love!

God Bless

Hugs and Love,

Lynne

Wow what a great idea and I love this! :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day friends!
