Summertime and the Scrapping is Easy Day 13

I really did my own thing on this assignment as I was out of town.  I was inspired by Queen Kat who was inspired by Leslie.  And the scraplift goes on.  I was given this picture by my friend's Aunt. I told her that yellow roses were my favorite flowers.  The lo reads A Yellow Rose...is what I love today.  

misted and used alcohol inks on the bg paper, made the flower, the leaf is made from acetate packaging. All elements are made from scraps except the bg paper.

Summertime and the Scrapping is Easy Day 12

The assignment: use metal and four different size squares and as always there is a sketch.  And as usual I am not following the rules exactly.

The metal pebbles say: wish, dream, hope: I THINK lol

WOOOOOWEEEEE!

I have been in the house all day and feeling kinda blah and having some increased pain.  In spite of the pain, I was going stir crazy; so I said to my dog, Dugan, let's go outside for a bit and get some fresh air.  He headed straight down the wheelchair ramp and into the backyard while I waited on the landing.  Then I saw a package sitting on the railing.  I thought: this must belong to my neighbors, I better call them.  Then I saw that the package was addressed to me.  I could not imagine...it must be some kind of mistake.  Then I thought: hurry up Dugan and go potty so I can get inside to open this box. (LOL)

This was inside:

What a cool gift.  I never heard of a zink hAppy.  I have no idea who sent it to me, but I do have my suspicions, (LOL)  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  And a humble thanks to the ultimate gift giver for putting people in my life who really care and pour into my crafting and into my spirit.  Thank you LORD.  I am going to read the quick start guide and idea book right now.  I am so blessed.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you come again soon.

Never too late

Here is an art journal page I made.  I was inspired by Tracy W.  She hosts a USTREAM show on Mondays. This was the July creative dare-but I missed the deadline. The hearts I used were left over from a Mother and Daughter Tea, held at my church more than 5 years ago.  WOW! That is a long time ago- that is why crafters cannot throw away anything- we eventually use it! lol

My friend, Donchel and I sponsored a table.  We invited our mothers, sisters, daughters, and nieces.   Each group decorated their table according to a theme.  Our theme was forgiveness and the color scheme was black and white.  We won first place for the most artistically decorated table.  I recall that we gave our prize to the table that we liked the best-their theme was light houses.  It was a fun event.  There is a scripture about forgiveness printed on each heart.

 

Can you tell that I REALLY need a new camera? : (  In person this page is really red. Sentiment:Carry forgiveness in your heart.

Summertime and the Scrapping is Easy Day 11

The assignment: metal embellishment and flourish.  I turned the sketch, used book plates around the title, did some stitching, used metal dots with words and drew a flourish highlighting the bird on the pattern paper.

title: So Happy.  This was me on the front steps of my new house.  There were bushes in the front of the house and birds came there to nest so the bird paper is very significant to the story.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you come again soon.
