Remember this old shirt?


Remember this old shirt? I saw this at a demo about two years ago. It was much simpler to make this time around. I was playing around with some ideas for this month's Masculine Card Challenge, and decided to try out the shirt again. The entries for the card challenge will be posted early next week, and there have been some awesome cards this time. Stay posted , and see them soon.

The Season begins.......


I really love making Christmas cards! I like to give them all away too! Christmas time is a wonderful time of reflection upon God's goodness to all mankind. It is a time to share hope with the lost, love with the needy, and the peace that knowing Jesus can bring to a restless heart. It is also a time of rejoicing with loved ones. each year my card carries a message of encouragement from the scriptures. If you are wondering what to place in your cards this christmas, this simple verse may be enough.
" For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,
but have eternal life"
John 3:16

Flower Pot Cards



I was having a little bit of fun today making these flower Pot Cards.The tutorial was on Weekly Inklings, on SCS on 22nd July. It was amazingly simple, and all that was missing in the design, was a way to stand it up. I used a piece of cardstock 9 cm X 30 cm, and scored at 5 cm, 14 cm, and 21 cm. The extra section between the 14 cm & 21 cm score line is folded to make a "Mountain Fold" between the front and back panel.
