A Mini for Monica!

This is the mini album I created for Monica (co-worker).  Her b-day had an Alice and Wonderland theme so I choose the Prima Nursury Tales paperstack to make her mini.  I was very happy with it and she liked it as well.

Crafting on a rainy day...

I just finished my project for Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge #22, which was based off of Joshua 24:15, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."  I decided to make some home decor.  I got this wooden oval piece from Hobby Lobby, painted it, distressed it, and covered it with paper.  I made the house shape from a cereal box and the flowers from paper.  I had fun making it!

Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge

Ok, so I was greatful to find this blog through YouTube I think???  Can't remember...but I thank the Lord for Stampin' Sisters in Christ because I struggle with incorporating the Word in my artwork and now I see that it may be a challenge but it's possible.

The challenge was to make what is broken look beautiful and repaired...as Jesus can repair us.  So, here's what I came up with...

Most of what I used were scraps of papers I had left over from other projects which I pieced together for this card.  I did alot of distressing.  The butterfly base is made from recycled cardboard and I also hot glued jewelry wire to the cardboard to flex the wings a bit.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look.  I had lots of fun making this card!  If you have questions or comments please let me know.  Have a blessed day!

My first Color Inspiration Challenge

I wanted to take on Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge # 57 and was really excited to see what I could come up with. 

I decided to create a simple blank card that could be used for just about anything.

My background is in painting so I don't have a lot of scrapbooking supplies around.  So, I decided to use gouache which is similar to water color and paint on some watercolor paper.  Besides the paint, I used Scribbles which is just like 3-D glitter paint that made the shoes sparkle.  I imagine this would be a cute card for a party invite or for a friend.

Here is my original sketch.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look.  I had fun painting and coming up with ideas.
