"Projects To Share For Your Inspiration"

 Hello to Everyone on this Tuesday, February 23, 2021.

We've had so much to happen since our last encounter.  We've experienced freezing rain that kicked off our electricity and internet service.  Not once but twice.  I've had church friends who were diagnose with Covid.  The husband ended up in the hospital for a week.  We all are thankful that he was able to come back home and was not one of the five hundred thousand.  This Covid, pandemic and people not following protocol is outrageous in my opinion.   Why are there so many individuals who pretend it is not real, you don't need to wear mask, and you don't have to stand six feet apart.  I get bothered by individuals who want to get in my space when I go to the grocery store.  We will , by the grace of God, come through as pure gold.  We just have to hold on and believe it will happen and do our part.

Here are projects I've worked on and hope you are inspired to make something similar:

This card was made for a person going through breast cancer.

This card was made for a church member going through Covid.

A card made just for fun.

Someone in the neighborhood needed this after the death of a loved one.

Once again, when you're going through circumstances beyond your control, just be reminded that eventually it will be okay.  "Trouble don't last always".

To be very clear and honest about this card...I was going through a bin and came across these.  Instead of overlooking them, I made a slim line card using them.  They all had to go together to spell out the word "DREAM".

I think my  individuals will probably get tired of cards directed at their situations.  Encouragement is always at the heart of my creative spirit.  Giving, showing or making things to encourage someone is not only helpful for them but I get a blessing also.

Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays...it is beginning to get busy in this department.  Love making and sharing this small gift.

Today this card was made.  Due to the inability to travel and visit, I still want individuals to know they are on my mind.  Phone calls are fine but in my opinion, card are even better.  (Making cards help crafters to get rid of so many supplies...maybe one will be able to buy more...hahaha!)  I am going to share this one over at https://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com.

Thanks so much for your visit, your time and your continued support.

"Encouragement Cards Plus Two Christmas Beauties""

 Hello to Everyone on this Thursday, October 29, 2020.  November is three days away and if you haven't voted, you still have until November 3, 2020 to do so.  I'm trying to group my card making into themes.  Last week I worked on all Christmas cards.  This week I thought I would do encouragement cards.  We all need some encouragement during these trying times, whether good or bad.  Take a look at my shares and see if you can find one to fit your feeling:

I used a picture from Pinterest to go with a stamp I had for bible journaling.  I personally think this came out nice and would love to keep it for myself.  I'm sharing this one over at https://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com

I received some pretty paper from Lemon Craft and I used it with another bible journaling stamp.  Someone has already requested this one.  

I started out with poinsettias for a Christmas card but ended up using another encouragement quote especially since we are still in October...celebrating breast cancer.  Hope is what all of us have.  Hope that we can see the end of this pandemic.  Hope that our candidate for election is chosen.  Hope that we can see our children grown and gone.  Hope that there is a cure for all the diseases that plague our bodies.

When I think about the disciples on the boat and they mentioned it was sinking, this came to my mind.  Also, our bible class was with the topic "Faith" this week.  How appropriate to find a picture to demonstrate the disciples on the boat and a quote to go along with the picture.  

From last Friday's Christmas card share on Instagram.

This week, I made this card to go along with the Splitcoaststampers sketch SC824.  I'm using paper from Stamperia "Blue Land" to complete the sketch.  

Thank you for viewing and continuing to support my blog.

Sending you a hug and love,
