Oh Monday....

Why do you have to tag along on a perfectly good weekend?  Here is a little note of inspiration for anyone out there with a case of the Monday's!

God Bless You,

Abundant Blessings

Sometimes in this busy life, we tend to get so wrapped up in everything going on in the world and have to remind ourselves of how abundantly blessed we really are.  For my Facebook friends and I, we have challenged ourselves to post a thankful post everyday!  It really helps put things in perspective when you read back upon what you have written.

On the same topic of those posts, they got me to thinking of a cardfor today's Sketch Tuesdy at Christian Paper Crafts, so I decided to go with a blessings card.  The colors are from the wonderful Color Combo this week found at Stacey's Stamping Stage Curatin Call Color Challenge.

I hope your week is going splendid!  Remember to count those blessings!

God Bless You,

Falling into Winter

It seems as if we have skipped Fall here in our little neck of the woods and went straight into Winter!  The cold temperatures we have been getting in the nights are already down around the 20 degree marks which is much too cold for my liking!

Thankfully there is a nice, warm fireplace right outside the doors of the scrapbook room that makes everything nice and toasty for some warm paper-crafting days!  First up is the 2nd CAS (Clean and Simply) Challenge at Christian Paper Crafts.  I thought a little Christmas card would be cute since I never seem to get all of mine made!

Next up is today's Color Monday challenge at Christian Paper Crafts, combined with the Sketch from Sketch Saturday!  What a cute (and sparkly) combination they make when combined together!

Have a wonderful week, and try to stay warm!

God Bless You,

Peace & Good Cheer

I totally can not believe that it is already November!  Surely we just returned from the beach just the other day, didn't we?

So many of the challenge sites are already picking colors that have my mind wrapped around Christmas, it just makes me smile!  I decided to combine this week's Color Throwdown with Sketch Tuesday over at Christian Paper Crafts.  Of course, it was a great excuse to get some new PaperTreyInk stamps inked up ;)
