Deck Of Me cards

I am sorta WAY behind on my "Deck of Me" cards, so I have been busy working on them. I am not going in any order now, just going with the one that I have the most MO JO juices flowing for as I am going thru the list of 27 now, which will be changing shortly I know.

So here is my take on Week 4 Deck of Me ATC - 3 Words describing myself. The words I choose was "Goofy", "Free-Spirited", and "Creative"...which I think they all apply.

I hand stitched the 2 layers together then decorated with stash letters and embellishments. Or used my scrapbook markers from Creative Memories.
Week 7 - Talents I want to use. Actually I would love to just sharpen what I have.
(front side)Back side. I listed different "talents" that I feel the Lord has blessed me with: sewing and crafts, decorating cakes and floral arrangements, altered art and scrap booking, cooking and baking, embroidery....I thank the Lord for the "talents"/ skills that He has given me. Using my sewing machine I stitched different borders and dividers from corner to corner. I used my stamps on this ATC also.

More to come....Thanks for stopping by.

Theme Thursday

This weeks Theme Thursday is "Winged People" Use a person with wings in your creation this week! Use collage images, photos, rubber stamps, fancy paper , embellishments or any other art supply to give your creation a ”winged person” So here is my take:

I took this tag and painted it gold with acrylic paint, then stressed it with Rangers Tea distress pad. I stamped the hearts with the Studio "g" stamps and hand stitched the glass beads on the bottom hearts. I used my Stamp Craft markers to color the hearts in . Added the beautiful young lady from my stash and then added the fibers. I distressed the edges with the Ruby Cats Eye.

I took a paper from my stash drawer and made a tag. Distressed the edges with a Ruby Cat's Eye. I used the darling little girl from my stash collage kids. I added Vintage lace and tissue paper garland. Added a little pink flower and ribbon to the tag.

Sunday Stamper's Challenge

This weeks Sunday Stamper's Challenge is "This old heart of mine." Here are my takes of using heart stamps.

Meet my handsome wonderful son, Curtis and his beautiful bride, Cassie. That is a picture from their wedding. I hand stitched the birds and branches onto the page. I stamped the hearts using red StazOn. The "leaf" hearts are Stamp Craft stamps, the larger hearts are from the Studio "g" series for Kolette Hall. The photo corners and die cut are stickers from "The Love Card stock stickers" from Flair designs. Then I added the pom poms and vintage rick rack.

The Artistic Stamper

The June Challenge for The Artistic Stamper was Animals. I have finally finished mine, I was afraid I was late, and then seen that they extended it for people like me that's running behind. hehe

These are pictures of my beautiful Dachshund, Hollie Girl. The pictures were taken this Spring, she is 2 1/2 years old. I used my Stamp Craft Stamps to stamp the dog with bone and the paw prints onto the background paper with brown and black Stazon. I used my Stamp Craft markers to color the dog and bone in. The papers, vellum, embellishments, and stickers are all from Markings, by C.R. Gibson Collections.

Afternoon Walk

Hollie and I went for an afternoon walk. Was such a Gorgeous afternoon, 76 degrees, just had to go.

She spotted a grey squirrel, it drove her crazy that she couldn't get to him fast enough. So around and around this tree she went, and then would look towards me, like as if to say, "Where did he go?" The whole time he was in the tree barking at her. Just wouldn't set still long enough for me to get a pic of him.

The clouds were just beautiful. Was like someone put cotton balls in the sky. Well we know who did, he is such a AWESOME GOD!!!

Another picture of beautiful clouds.

The main reason for the walk. I knew where there was a patch of the Gorgeous Tiger Lillies. And I HAD to have some...they are so Beautiful.

And they look so pretty in my new pitcher on my new table....ahhhh a bit of heaven. Doesn't take much to make me happy.

Thanks for stopping by.
