Thankful

I am in the process of converting over to a WordPress blog.  Check it out here:  www.scrapbookingandcardmaking101.com

The blog theme this week is 'thankful'.  I was out of town this weekend and did not get to do much crafting for this week's theme.  Fortunately Dee was thinking about me and made this adorable card.

We're thankful for our friends - at least I am.  I am also thankful for my furry friends.  They do not argue with me and they are always glad to see me.

Card Recipe:  Thankful

Romans 12:1  Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is true and proper worship.

Dare to Be Fabulous

I have been missing in action, but fortunately Dee has come to my rescue.  Check out her humorous card.  You can never go wrong with the girls from AI.

Psalm 59:16  But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

It's a Laugh-A-Thon

This week's theme is humor.  To start us off it's the queen of the funny ladies of AI - Diane.

Here is a load of eye candy that is sure to have you LOLing.

The first three cards are using the same image with different color combinations  I LOVE this image and the sentiment cracks me up!

As soon as I saw this stamp I had to have it!  Diane and I were on the same wave length this weekend -- we were coloring this adorable image at the same time.  And the sentiment - LOL.

This one actually makes me cringe a little bit while I am laughing.  You know we've all seen this at the mall.  Don't deny it.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for some more humor.

Have a great day and laugh out loud.

Proverbs 12:15  The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.

Freeze Frame!

I don't know about you, but that phrase makes me think of an 80's tune by the J. Geils Band.  Good times.  Anyhoo - that is this week's theme.  This theme hasn't inspired my design team like last week's Halloween theme did.

Here is my contribution.  I just love Art Impressions Girlfriends stamp sets.  This is one of my faves.

This set is from Art Impressions and it is called Picture Perfect.  I purchased mine from Craft Inn.  If you live in the Louisville KY area - check them out.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for another picture perfect project.

Have a great day and be inspired.

Psalm 119:7  I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.

Witchy Witchy Witchy

Diane has been a Halloween card making machine.  Be prepared - this post is picture intense.  But you are going to love the eye candy.

Diane used a stamp set from our new favorite stamp company Dare 2B Artzy.  Oh who are we kidding - we love them all!  She was colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.

This cute little witch is Art Impressions - another one of our favorites.

And another AI that's an oldy, but a goody.

John 14:23  Jesus replied, 'Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.  My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them'

This Week is About the Peeps

This week's theme is people.  We the people kind of naturally flows behind the week of the Fourth of July.  Today, Dee shares a great card with one of our favorite AI ladies.

Art Impressions Dare to be Fabulous from Hobby Lobby.  Dee took it a notch up by using Flower Soft to make her fur coat look fabulous.

Card stock from Hobby Lobby. Stamped images are from Art Impressions (AI) colored with Copics and Tim Holz Distress inks for sky Tumbled Glass and for the Sun, Mustard Seed. Sun was cut out and put on pop dot. Clear Wink of Stella was put around the Sun for a little sparkle. Gold Wink of Stella was used to color one of the bathing suits, hat and shoes. On sunglasses a dab of Glossy Accents was added.

A Sentiment of any kind can be added at the bottom of the card, such as "Happy Birthday" or "Just Because" then send to a friend.

Proverbs 22:4  Humility is the fear of the Lord;  its wages are riches and honor and life.

For those of you who pray regardless of your religion - let's all pray for the leaders of our countries that they be blessed with wisdom from a greater power.  That the decisions they make be for the greater good of their fellow countrymen and the world.

It's all about the people.........

This week's blog theme is people.  And of course you know Diane is the Queen of coloring the people.  So today we start off the week with Diane's peeps.  :-)

Love this image.  It can be found at Michaels by Art Impressions.

Love this front and back stamp by Art Impressions.  The door was created by Diane using a die from the The Cat's Pajamas.  The ballons were created using a Martha Stewart Balloon Punch.

I just love the color coordinating Diane does with the lady's outfit.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Tune in tomorrow for some more projects with the peeps.

Have a great day and be inspired.
