Please be in Prayer

As you know, several of our blog friends have been sending cards and prayers to Canada for Lois a friend of artist Wilna. Lois was fighting Cancer, on the morning of Saturday June 21, at 4 in the morning, our friend Lois went home to be with Jesus.

Please be in prayer for Wilna, her Husband, Robin and children. Wilna said Lois had no regrets and was feisty and funny up till the end. She knew she was going home to be with Jesus. God Bless and comfort them during this time.

In His name,

Debxx

The Artistic Stamper

The Artistic Stamper - May Challenge - Garden Theme

You have probably guessed that the new theme for May is Garden and you can use just about any flowery or insect stamp, even use stamps of gnomes and birds too if you like!! The only rule is that you use stamping on your creation.

The paper I used for the card is by Liz King - Anemone- Olive by

EK Success LTD.

The "Thank You" stamp size D is an Anita Stamp by Sugarloaf, Inc.

My "Basket" Stamp size E is also by Anita from Sugarloaf.

The flowers are clear stamps by Rhonna Farrer and the leaves are from

Stampedous.

I used Inks were from the Memories Collection from Stamp

Craft.

I used Diamond Dust over the Flower layout and where I stamped

Thank You.

I enjoyed my first LO with at the Artistic Stamper.

Scrapbook and Altered Art Retreat

What an AWESOME weekend I had. I spent the weekend with Paula from Paula's Palace of AltAred Art, http://pclouse.blogspot.com/ and Cat from Cupcakes and Coffee, http://www.cupcakesandcoffee.blogspot.com/. You talking about 2 crazy ladies.

Wow

We had a great time, what a great surprise to me when I walked into the Retreat and there Cat was, it was such an honor to meet her this weekend and get to know her. Paula and I are long time friends, she is like the BIG sister I never had, so I always LOVE the time we get to spend together. I want to thank Paula and Carla, our Creative Memories Consultant for the great time, that 11 Scrapbook Sisters spent together at the BEAUTIFUL Lodge at Lake Sallateeska, North of Nashville, IL.

As Paula would say, "We waxed creatively all weekend!" We made Art Muses (Dolls), Happy House Pins, Cards for special friends, 5 sided Easter Eggs (Made like a 5-sided journal box), and of course many scrapbook layouts. I will post pictures as soon as I get pictures of all the wonderful things we made.
