Hello and welcome back! After more than a couple of days of wind today, we lost our internet connection until 10:07 PM it was horrid! On days like this, my husband and I watch the old movies on DVD or BluRay! It's kinda nice to get comfy and watch some of the best films of all times. A personal fav is A Goofy Movie (Lol... we've loved this since it came out in the early 2000s).  Anyway, after hours of no internet, I set my card aside and just enjoyed complaining that we didn't have any internet. The hardest part was giving up on doing Bible study, I love to share the gospel!
Praying to the Lord that in the morning the internet is still working, as we are still looking at more high winds throughout the week.

For today, I made a quick card. The Frame Thanks Die is amazing, today I cut off the sentiment "thanks" and moved it to the bottom of the die-cut in Dark Gray card stock. I also added some flowers with the amazing Floral Art stamp set, with 80lb White card stock in Obsidian Black with a bit of Honey Drizzle ink in the centers. The Print in the back is part of the Essential Rock Collection paper pack.  Finally, I changed up my cardstock for my card base and went with 110# white cardstock.  Of course, all of the products used today can be found at Altenew's website, the link is on the right. 

Well, that's it for today, but I don't want to take any chances in case the internet drops again. By the grace of God, we love. Amen

Hello and welcome back to the blog.  Well, we did it, made it through January 2020, only 11 months to go. When I started this blog project it was for me many things. I wanted to see if I could get through each day by sharing the things I love. It's about more than just crafting. It's about everything going on in my life. It's about the things that matter most to me.  In a nutshell, it's about my growth as a person. Taking each day as it comes, never failing to live up to the possibilities, that life offers if you only seek it. Along with the mercy from God, my heavenly father, I seek grace, passion, to look for the things that aren't visible. But to trust that which cannot be seen, and still give each day the best outcome possible.

Crafting is only a part of who I am, I wish it was more, but alas we humans are complicated things.  My Christianity gives me hope to see what is and so much more. Grace be to God!


Today's project is a simple 1 layer card.  Using the Floral Art stamp set from Altenew. Click on the banner below to visit them and get one for yourself. As an Altenew Educator, I feel sharing the best products is helpful in many ways, first offering you quick and clean cards that can be recreated. Giving you links to explore their shop. I hope you love the card as much as I do.

The colors in my card are Obsidian Black, Industrial Diamond, and Citrus Burst. On White 80lb cardstock for my card base.

Here's a little close-up of the amazing stamp set, in simple but striking colors.

I love the font used in their stamps, it reminds me of freehand writing.


Please join me Monday-Friday on my Facebook page at 8am MT for my bible study.
