COF May Flowers

Hi There blog family!

Today is the last day of the Month and that means COF are here to show off their May Challenge from our good friend Patti!!!

Thanks Patti, for a great story and Challenge!

Our May Challenge was from Patti"Ok I got it! When my kids were little they made May flower baskets. They would hang them on a couple of the elderly neighbor's doors, knock and run! It was so much fun! So I want to see May flowers in baskets... either stamped or 3D which ever you want! I can't wait to see what you come up with! {{{Hugs}}}"

I didn't have a basket but I found a watering can full of flowers and since I can't put it on a neighbors door and run I made it for an elderly lady and mailed it to her hope it brightens her day.

My stamp I think is from Hero arts ( I brought 600 stamps off ebay when someone was closing their doors years ago so I don't remember for sure) my words are from House mouse, embossing folder from cuttlebug,paper from my scrap-box , buttons have been calling me for weeks so I promised them a place, ribbon from Joann's.

Hope you all had a wonderful May and our looking forward to a summer full of fun

Hugs

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Today I'm posting a picture of  signs I made for our Church Plant sale.

I used Walk in my Garden & Plantin SchoolBook for the letters and the grass.

Do you ever start something and it takes on a life of its own? well thats what happened here, I was looking for a wheelbarrow one day and was on the joanns web site and came across this cricut cartridge now I'm new to the cricut and wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money on the cartridge just for a wheelbarrow but it was on sale on line for 29.00 so I decided to go look around well it wasn't on sale in the store but learned that if I could bring the ad up on my phone they will price match plus I had a 10.00 off coupon that the lady used so it was only 19.00 Yeah ! and did I get my money's worth.

One of the things I really like about this sign is that next year you just have to remove the date and the paper with the potting party dates on it and slide a new date year after year in to the clear sleeves ( my son gets these comic books that come in these great sleeves along with cardbord that I have found many many uses for) another fun thing are my flower pots I cut two 5 inch pots for each sign and made a box to hold the information sheets ( the flower pots are held on with Velcro so they can come off for easy storage) I used Spellbinders  Curved Rectangles for the information sheets to look like seed packets. I put styrofoam in the bottoms  of each flower pot and glued brown paper on top to make it look like dirt so my information sheets would pop out the top.

 I had so much fun making 2 of these signs even though my family thought I was Crazy :) even after I cut and glued everything it still took me 6 1/2 hours to put each sign together I spent over 30 hours making these but it was so Worth it!! :)

Thanks for looking,

Hugs to all

I'm Late I'm Late for a very important Date!

Morning bloggers, What a busy busy last few weeks here, I've been busy with handing out food and clothing at our church for the Tornado victims in our town that touched down March 15th , I love our little town you can feel the love as soon as you enter.

For the month of March our hostess Carolina from crafters of Faith  wanted us to make a card using a "lighthouse", "two pieces of paper" and some" Bling" I used this teal design paper and put it on some purple ,once I put the Bling on it kind of hides it ,opps and then I used some bling that has a hint of blue in them along the sides and around my light house which is Thomas Kinkade The Light of Peace" I then cut a frame using a spellbinder die and adding bling around it, I also used a Spellbinder die for my cross, I cut the first layer with gold metal and then the top layers is white paper added a pearl in the middle then added some flowers in the corner with some more pearls . On the inside I wrote " A reassuring presence A Light when times are dark, A hand reaching out, Is what Friendship is about  "

I like how it turned out and can't wait to mail it to one of my Friends.

Thanks for looking and I'll be back real soon.

Hi ladies , For our COF group we were to do a UN-Birthday I had this ready to post yesterday but life got busy.
  This is what I came up with, Today is  my mom's birthday who passed away in 2010 and also my son's 22nd birthday It was kind of hard for me to do this min challenge because I was missing my mom but when I went into my rubberstamps I saw this stamp and I knew I wanted to make it.

I used water color pencils and my dove blender A MS punch for the butterfly and spellbinders for the oval and some ribbon from Joanns.
What A Beautiul Day  ( on the inside) That God has given us

Have a wonderful weekend

Hugs

Crafters Of Faith Febuary Challenge:

Today I have a post for our Crafters of Faith challenge our Hostess Jackie wanted us to create something with LOVE in mind.....with a bit of a twist we were to use NON TRADITIONAL colors at least 1 circle shape on our creation and have NATURE as the main theme. I hope this fits the bill.

I chose this light house over looking the water for me it is just so peaceful , I am always looking for cards to make for men , so I decided to go with browns , yellow , green and blue with some twine ,wire and some shells. I generate the words for sign on the computer "My light shines only for you" think I'll give to Hubby when he isn't excepting it.
Hope you all have a wonderful Day
Hugs

Footprints Prayer

Today our hostess was unable to be with us so were holding off on our scheduled card , We love you Jackie and miss you.

Today for our Crafters of Faith group I am posting this card. I need a card for a young man who needed some comfort as he goes though some rough times in life. I often look upon this Prayer when I want to let someone know how much they mean and that they are not alone in their journeys.

.

I made it simple because I did not want to take away from the prayer,

I used a brass stencil I had of some baby feet  to emboss to look like feet walking on the sand.

                 Remember we are never alone in our travels though life, God is always walking with us .

                                                    May you always know God's Love
