Dreams of Spring

After waking up yesterday morning to cold weather and...more snow, I thought today's Color Monday would be the idea time for some "Dreams of Spring"!  Check out all the details at Christian Paper Crafts today!

Have a wonderful, "springy" day!

God Bless You,

*Love, Color Your Monday, & a Hop*

Welcome!  Thank you for stopping in!  Whether it is the Color Monday for Christian Paper Crafts, Virtual Valentine's Day Party (Blog Hop), or My Time Made Easy Sneak Peak that has brought you in, I am delighted to have you!
For this special blog hop a bunch of friends and designers got togetherand ended up with 40+ participants and 19 sponsors giving away a total of 21 prizes. Random commenters will be drawn from random blogs, so the more love they/you leave the more chances you have to win. 
If you are just popping in here, you need to start at Taylor's Blog for the full information, click here.  You should have arrived here from Rain Puddles Design blog and your next click will take you to Karber Sweet Escape.
So let's get going!
This morning's Color Monday at Christian Paper Crafts is all about LOVE!  I decided to combine that with the LOVE BLOG home and here you have it:

As an extra little bonus, I have a sneak preview project to share!  The Christian Paper Crafts special Design Team Delights Gallery for February is opening tomorrow with our lovely sponsor My Time Made Easy.  Here is one of my little goodies: 

 Don't you just love those little seed packets? They are one of the new templates and oh so easy to work with.  There is even a template for cutting the inside card, which I used on the photos of my little Abby!  I will have these on the table at her upcoming birthday party!  What a cute way to show off her year without having to worry about the scrapbooks being destroyed!  Also, these are all extras of pictures, so grandparents can take as they please!  My Time Made Easy also sells digital stamps which are totally awesome and would make a wonderful addition to any of your projects.

Happy Love Day!  The most precious gift of love is the love of Christ - I pray you each are blessed with this special love in your lives!

God Bless You,

Happy 2011

Good morning!  Welcome to my first blog post of 2011!  Wait, that sounds a little too excited for a Monday, doesn't it?!  I am so blessed as I lay her in the bed and type up this blog with my loves fast asleep beside me, there's no feeling but happiness and peace!

Today I have a little card for you that is nothing but sweet sunshine, no winter blahs here!  I'm now hosting Color Monday over at Christian Paper Crafts and so tickled at this new venture!  Today's inspiration was from a magazine cover and here is what I came up with:

(Paper: PaperTreyInk, Basic Grey; Images: Background Basics - Music - PaperTreyInk; Ink: PaperTreyInk; Misc, handmade flower, button, ribbon, pearls)

Have a wonderful day!

God Bless You,

My Loves are Nestled, All Snug in the Bed...

My sweet hubby has the week off and is getting to spend it home with our precious little one.  Oh, trust me, I have been fighting off the pangs of jealousy and the bits of sadness that I will not be sharing this fun time with them this week...  But, work it is for me!
Today is Color Monday at Christian Paper Crafts and you truly never know what combination Jen is going to throw at you!  Today's is cream, tan, chocolate, and garden green.  I substituted kraft for the tan and added a llittle of a light shade of green for the flowers, but kept them green to attemp to keep the color scheme going.  The card is also for the Clean and Simple (CAS) challenges both at SplitCoastStampers today (theme: Sympathy) and Christian Paper Crafts from Saturday October 30th!  The great sketch, well that's from Sweet Sunday Sketches of course :)
