Music in my Heart

Good Thursday morning!  Today is Bibe Verse Thursday at Christian Paper Crafts.  There are lots of fun ad exciting changes going on over there and I encourage you to check them out!!  Today's challenge inspired this little card below, which I also paired with challenges from Claudia & Company (Die Cuts R Us), The 12 Days of Christmas Challenge (sketch sponsored by Flourishes), Tuesday Throwdown (embossing), and the 2Sketches4You sketch (tag).

Feeling that Holiday Spirit

With Abby already wanting to put the Christmas tree up, you kind of have to get in the Christmas mood pretty quick!  I guess the forecast of snow for today doesn't hurt either!  So with that being said - Christmas cards are on my agenda lately.  Good thing since I a hosting a Christmas Card Workshop tomorrow to benefit our Church's Relay for Life team.
For today though...  Yesterday's Bible Verse Thursday at Christian Paper Crafts was all about adding some glitter and glitz to your card with the Bible Verse of your choice!  Wanting to make a Winter card, I decided to go for the verse from Isaiah 1:18 for a little spiritual emphasis to the snow!  I decided to combine it with today's Fun on Friday to create this little card...  The sketch is from SplitCoastStampers for this week and the colors are inspired from the image at the Shabby Tea Room.

Earlier this week, I was pretty busy making a presentation board for work and didn't get to play along with the Wednesday CASE artist.  I decided to make yet another Christmas card...  The sketch is from the wonderful JOyc3's gallery at Christian Paper Crafts.  SplitCoastStampers way to use it challenge was about ways to use your green this week.  My favorite way is of course to add it with red and make a Christmas card!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!  Check back tomorrow for another day of Christian Paper Crafts new clean and simple challenge.

God Bless You,

Hallelujah!

Perhaps you think this word is just for Christmas, right?  Actually it is Hallelujah Night at our church tonight since we do not celebrate Halloween!  I can't wait for all of the fun, food, games, and fellowship!
My card for you today has nothing to do with the traditional oranges and blacks of normal for this season, but more red, brown, and green.  To me, these colors can work for Fall or Christmas, depending on the images you pair them with and how you whip it into shape!
Fun on Friday at Christian Paper Crafts was all about buttons and I am all about that!  Here is what I came up with!  I even chaged my color of green around a little for it to match the Color Monday challenge there as well!  The lovely sketch is from the ever so wonderful Sweet Sunday Sketches.

...Peace & Quiet...

No, there's not really any of that going on around here, but it is the theme for today's Bible Verse Thursday at Christian Paper Crafts, AND the site is back up and running!!

I think little honey-bees (like on Winnie the Pooh) - look so peaceful.  That is, until they are real and can sting you!  But don't worry, this little feller is just cute - no stinging here!  I used another "new to me" Sketch site today too, Sunday Sketch & Stamp!  Great sketches and super recommended!

Case Artist Day @ CPC

It's Wednesday, so you know what that means, right?  Of course, it's time for the Wednesday CASE Artist over at Christian Paper Crafts!  Today the CPC site is being a tad bit silly, so we are directing everyone to the Creative Blog for the day!

Today's featured artist is Janaria.  Take a peak at that gallery and see what you want to CASE.  I chose and layout as inspiration this week and the card below is what I came up with!  This cute little bear from Deedee's Digis was the perfect touch! I did try to use the color's from the Curtain Call Color Challenge again, because they were just so fun - but had to add in a little splash of blue and purple on the parachute!  :o)

Hope your week is absolutely fabulous!

God Bless You,

...Relay Wrap Up...

Tonight is our "Relay Wrap Up" meeting, which also means it is time to start planning again for next year!

I have a little card that fits into a couple of challenges to share with you today:

(Paper: PaperTreyInk, BoBunny; Accessories: Ribbon, Button, Jute, Flower, Pin, Cork, Nestabilities; Stamp: Paper Trey Ink; Ink: Copics, Momento Rich Cocoa, Distress Ink - Tea Stain)

This little number is for the sketch challenge over at Christian Paper Crafts this week and the Stampin Sisters In Christ Challenge!

God Bless You,

...Sparkles...

Everything on my projects sparkle today... 
When I saw the current sketch for Card Positioning Systems, rather than a card, a scrapbook page was the first thing to come to my mind.  Today's Scripture Saturday over at Christian Paper Crafts is Psalms 19:1.  Although I knew the picture I wanted to use for my page, I was unsure on the layout until I found that one!!  I also had to combine it with the Fussy and Fancy Challenge of Scallops, Stitches, and Sparkle!  Such a fun way to remember such a fun vacation!
Here is my page:

Since the CPS and Fussy and Fancy challenges are really geared toward card making, I decided to make a card using these "guidelines" along with one of my favorite Deedee's Digis (and yes, it is "upside down", but I just love it that way for some reason):
