CTMH Convention Album Contest Layout #3

The following is the third layout of my contest submission.  It focuses on the couple that I studied the Bible with and how we came to meet and how my life, particularly my spiritual life has changed…for the better, I may add…since we met. In the original baptism photos, the tile was a bright yellow…

CTMH Convention Album Contest

On Tuesday, July 3rd, I sat in my craft room with nothing to do.  Yeah, I know.  That never happens. But I was done with my convention swap cards, club layouts, etc. and couldn’t really start on anything else, since I knew in a week I would be looking to get my hands on brand…

July's Cards, Etc. Workshop Projects using Victory

I will be leaving to attend Close To My Heart’s Convention in one week.  I’ve been busy creating swap cards…I’m over my goal of 50…yea me!  I also prepared a project for a Create n Take class in which I’ll be a “Helper”.  And I’m also trying to squeeze in some layouts to enter into…

My Heart's Swap Group Card

My dear friend and sister Close To My Heart consultant, Tamra Pope, convinced me to join her swap group about six months ago.  I hesitated, because…well, honestly…I don’t need “one more thing to do”.  Maybe you can relate.  However, she’s my friend and I love her work, but mostly I stink at saying no.  Maybe…

July's Cards, Etc. Workshop

Did you know that last month I began holding a monthly card workshop?  I call it Cards, Etc.  At the workshop, we create two cards and one 3D or altered item.  It only costs $5 to attend and it’s free if you place a minimum $25 order.  Not a bad deal, huh?   The workshop…

A Pop of Color

It’s a color challenge this week over at the Heart 2 Heart.  The challenge is to use black and white, and a “pop” of any other color you choose.  I’m not sure why I don’t do more black and white cards, because every time I see one, I’m never disappointed.  Especially when they are combined with…

DiSTRESSED Out!

Like I mentioned in yesterday’s post, it’s a stressful time of year for me with the school year coming to a close.  In fact, this is my last week and I cannot wait!  I’m so ready for the break.  But in the meantime, what better way to relieve some stress than to take it out…

It's another H2H Challenge

This week over at the Heart 2 Heart, the challenge is to create something for Mother’s Day.   This challenge is both a difficult challenge and an easy one for me.  Let me explain.  First, due to my spiritual beliefs, I don’t celebrate holidays.  However, it’s also a little difficult, because I’ve always had a…

A new workshop! "Cards Etc."

I’ve tried to hold card classes in the past, but there just wasn’t enough interest.  However, in the last couple of months, there have been a few people who have expressed a desire to attend a card class.  So I decided to start one.  Having the kind of attitude expressed in the movie, “Field of…
