I really like this page. It means a lot to me... As you can see in the photos below, my hubby is donating blood at the blood mobile on this page as Abby has fun sitting and watching. If you know my husband, you would know that although he is a big guy, he could pass out at the sight of a needle, however he is a regular blood donor. Wanna know why? He always says he does it with the prayer that if I ever needed blood, someone with my type will have donated too! How sweet is that!! He does it All For Me!
God Bless You,

Come on Over...

If you haven't been over to the Christian Paper Crafts Magazine site, I suggest you RUN over there! It is definitely worth looking into. With so much to offer in paper-crafting, all in a loving, Christian environment. Our love for the Lord is even larger than any love of paper-crafting. If this sounds like you, please come on over and check us out :o)
I just adore this little butterfly from Sweet 'n Sassy's digi stamps :o) It makes me think of DollyWood which is a favorite place of ours.

(Papers misc from Paper-Playground's May Kit, Prima Flowers, American Crafts Ribbon, Sweet 'n Sassy stamp, PTI ink, copic markers, Fiskars treading water punch)

Have a wonderfully blessed day!

God Bless You

MyTime's (Lauren's) DT Call Sketches & Submissions

While I had hoped for a pretty day where I could take the photos of my cards outside - alas I did not get my wish. Well, let me change that a little - it was a pretty day, but I was inside seeing patients all day!
I am so excited to be taking part in MyTime's DT call! The following cards are my attempts! *cross your fingers* I believe she is going to chose at the end of the week :) I was worried I would not get to enter due to internet problems earlier in the week, so glad we had the whole week!!

(Other than the first card, which is supplies from PaperPlayGround kit of the month - April, all items are PaperTreyInk.)

If you happened to notice the color combo in the last two cards is the same - please note it is not from a lack of supplies! There is definitely plenty of product that comes through the doors of this house every month, however I like to use what I have. I am getting into the habit of using a whole sheet of paper instead of just part of it for one project, then being left with scrap that I never use. Using leftovers has been a great way for me to make an "extra" card to have on hand! A lot of times, you can duplicate one card easily with the materials you already have :) It's a great time and money saver!

God Bless You,

Sunshine and Swing Sets...

Today was such a pretty sunshiney day compared to yesterday. A sweet friend and I took a walk for lunch and it was very refreshing. It is amazing how good nice weather can make you feel. After work I took the little one to the park where I got in a two mile walk and she and I played on the swings and slide. My sweet mom was kind enough to go along and spend the evening with us. Lately I have been trying to lose weight and it has been quiet harder than I imagined it would be, enough talk about that already :)

On one of my last posts I mentioned cutting back drastically on scrapping supplies. I will admit I did this, but you know what I found out? I stopped creating all together. I missed the me time. Although it was more like me & Abby playing and I would run and work on something while she takes a nap, I missed it! Being busy with working 40 hours a week, full time housewife & mommy (best job ever - no complaints at all), and going to school full time, I needed something for me to unwind. I decided to start back buying if it means I will start back creating! I did and it does! (I even gave the blog a little face lift and found time to remove the Christmas deco!)



Here is my 2 Sketches Card! Can you believe that I am THIS early! I must be serious ;)
