FLY

This is a mini card.  It is hard to see because I need a new camera so badly-I need to take up a collection before I can get another one- lol.  I just used the scraps I had left from another project.  Bird and heart punch outs.  I sewed a random zig zag pattern on the card to create sections and then I doodled in each section.

Fighting the blues

This ATC was inspired by the Happy Easter greeting I saw on this blog.  I am not sure if this was a stamp, but I doodled the drawing.  I have been singing "Jesus Loves Me" ever since.  The message is always timely.  I have been fighting the blues for a few days and reading this made me smile and motivated to craft something.  Truly Jesus is risen.  While he was on the cross I was on his mind-that's LOVE!  Thanks Stephanie for sharing your art and the love of Christ!

Materials: Water Color pencil, gel pens (white and black), MS writing marker, BIC Mark it markers, glittered heart sticker, white cs.

Thinking of You

I was inspired by a card that I saw on the FB Scrapping 24/7 page.  Now I do not recall subscribing to this page, but posts started showing up on my timeline.  I am not complaining because I could always use the inspiration. (LOL)  The original card is made using pinwheels.  Check it out on this blog.  

This is a Sympathy card.  I usually do not make or send sympathy cards until later.  You know when the covered dishes, phone calls and visits become scarce.  I figure the grieving person(s) could use some happy mail.
 Inside Sentiment:Our hearts, our prayers and our love are with you.

June Virtual Scrapbook Pajama Party

This is the lo I made while playing along at the Scraps Of Color Monthly Online Scrapbook Pajama Party  I really did try to follow the sketch, but as usual I veered from it a bit...well a LOT!  LOL  The hostess, Tiare also made a card from the leftover paper.  Since I was using mostly scraps anyway I did not make a card. 

Title: Sweet dreams are made of...food
Journaling: Dugan loves food so much I bet he even thinks about eating when he is sleeping.  I often say "My guy lives for FOOD"
Materials: scrap pp and cs, bone buttons, paw print ribbon, thickers, glitter pen, zig marker, colorbox chalk ink.

My Black is Beautiful Challenge 16

This was a challenge that I started last year on the SOC .ning site.  I am STILL working my way through the prompts.  The prompt was hobbies.  I chose to only scrap one...SCRAPBOOKING!  I am not so sure that scrapbooking is a hobby as much as it has become a way of life.  My digital camera must be about to go to the digital camera graveyard...so sorry for the blurry pictures lately.

Materials: scrap paper, scrap congregated card board, ribbon and flowers from stash, pin from a swap, EK Success border punch, dollar store butterflies, brads, bling, black pitt pen, brown zig pen, white gel pen, gold glitter pen, walnut stain distress ink, colorbox chalk ink, alphabet stamps

Sentiment: My beautiful BLACK is being...Addicted to Scrapbooking

This was also entered in First Fridays Chat Challenge:  Where I used the posted sketch as a guideline and included a fold.  My title on the pp dictated that I alter the sketch to suit my vision for the lo.  Rarely am I able to follow a sketch exactly.  Even when I draw out a sketch of the project in my head by the time I finish the project doesn't resemble the sketch.
