Scripture Challenge - Wisdom

Another Scripture challenge layout to share...



I really enjoyed looking up verses for this one. The Lord has all the wisdom we'll ever need right in His Word for us to find anytime we want to... :)

Another batch of cards to share...

Here are some more cards I've done over the past couple of days. I used alot of scraps on these, which I LOVE doing...








I'm always open to any tips you card makers might have for me, so please feel free to offer any advice you'd like to! :)

SC - His Presence, Glory, Fruit, & Desire

I made a couple of new layouts and redid a couple of others for my Scripture challenge tonight. I'm really happy with how they all turned out...






Such powerful verses!! Doing these layouts has really been such an amazing blessing to me. It gives me a chance to get into God's Word looking for something specific, and then I always seem to find so much more than what I'm looking for. I love it... :)

I love your spirit of joy...

I did a layout of my Maddie today. I am in LOVE with how it turned out!! I'm really enjoying using these bright, girly colors...



That title fits her personality perfectly, doesn't it?? ;) She's always so happy and hardly ever has a bad day. My sweet girl...

Beautiful, isn't she?? ;)

I got a layout of Emily done today...after about an hour of scrapper's block, UGH. Don't you just hate that?? Anyway, it turned out looking exactly like I wanted it to so I guess it worked out... ;)



I just adore these pictures! I took them out in the yard last month and I think they turned out soooooo good. I couldn't wait to scrap them but I had NO paper that would work with the colors. I needed something bright but not crazy looking, you know? Well, I went out with my sis on Saturday and found this paper pad by We R Memory Keepers called Nonsense and I think it worked perfectly! The entire pad is just gorgeous and so bright and colorful. I can't wait to use some more of it. ;) Thanks for looking!

Joyful...

Another layout of my sweet Maddie. :) I adore this picture and the title fits it perfectly, doesn't it??



I'm so happy with how this turned out. The papers are gorgeous (K&Company) and match soooo nicely. I just love it all! ;)

Layouts that I love!!

Here are a couple of new layouts I've done over the past couple of days that I reallllly love...

*Inspired by the layout seen here

*Based on a sketch at Inspired Blueprints

I think it's because the papers (from the K&Company Classic Paper Pad) match so well and are so pretty! Plus, the pictures are ADORABLE so that helps too, of course. ;)

A couple of new cards...

I made these earlier this week, but I couldn't share them before because they were for Mother's Day. ;) I'm having SO much fun making all of these cards! It's nice to have another way to create things other than just layouts...





Thanks for looking...have an awesome day!!

More layouts to share...again!

I've really been on a roll this week and I'm loving it! Ok, so let me share what I did last night/this morning with you...

This first layout has me and my sweet girls playing a game of Go Fish on it. We were in the middle of the game when Mark came home from work, and he grabbed my camera and took a few shots for me. How sweet is he?? I love how the page turned out...


*Based on an August 2007 sketch at Page Maps

The second layout is one that I am realllly loving. I'm in a scrapping group called Scrapping-4-God and we try to do challenges each month. In April we had 2 choices, and one of them was to create a page about what music means to you in your faith. Well, I LOVE music, especially Christian music, so that was the perfect choice for me! To make it a little fun, I cut some definitions out of a piece of paper I had (K&Company Life's Journey) and "filled" the heart with them to show that my heart is full of all of those feelings when I listen to music. I think it gives a really nice effect!



So that's it from me for today. I have got some serious cleaning to do and bills to pay. Thanks for looking...I hope you have an awesome afternoon! :)

We love the beach!

I worked on this layout for Cathy yesterday and I'm so happy with how it turned out!

*Left page based on a Jan 09 sketch at Page Maps

It's such a great way to use alot of pictures and still have room for journaling and a little bit of embellishments, isn't it? I'm sure I'll do a similar one for myself soon... ;)

More layouts! I can't stop, lol...

I've been in such a scrappy mood the past couple of days and I LOVE it! My house on the other hand...ummm...could use some attention. But hey, what's more important...cleaning or SCRAPPING? No contest there, my friends, hehe. Am I right or am I right?!? ;) So anyway, let me share what I got done with you...

I did this layout of Emily last night. I just adore this picture of her. I took it at Chimney Rock Park, NC and that background is amazing!! When I found this quote, I knew it matched the picture perfectly...


Then this morning, I did this layout of Mark and myself with some pictures that my friend Amanda took of each of us last month. Even though we aren't together in the pictures, we were together at her house having fun, so I made the layout about that...

OH, and the cool thing about the scalloped border on this page is that I made it myself! I absolutely LOVE the look of the Fiskars Threading Water Border Punch, but since I don't have one (YET, lol!!), I decided to do it on my own. I have a card that has a scalloped edge so I used it as a template and then hand cut the scallops. After that, I just used my eyelet punch to make the holes. Pretty nifty, huh? ;) I love the way it looks...

So there you go! My creative juices are still flowing so maybe I can whip something else up in the next little while. Have a great day!! :)

Some layouts for Cathy...

I want to share a couple of layouts I got done for Cathy last night/this morning. They are soooo cute! ;)

The first one has a great picture on it that she took of her kids last summer. It's just amazing, isn't it? :) I loved the picture so much, I kept the layout very simple so it wouldn't take away from it...



The second page has a really awesome story behind it. Right now, my brother-in-law (Adam) is in Iraq. Before he left, they took a trip to Build-A-Bear to get some special bears for the kids. The bears all have voice boxes inside with a message from Adam to each of the kids...in his voice. How cool is that? ;) Anyway, Cathy wanted me to put the names that the kids all chose for their bears on the layout and title it "Introducing...", so that's what I did and I think it turned out great!

*Based on sketch #18 at 52 Sketches...52 Weeks

So that's it for now. I'm still trying to work on some more pages for her but Maddie seems to think it's her turn on the computer, so we'll see, lol...
