Hello and welcome back to the blog. Today was kind of amazing! Jeanne and I were crafty chatting and I asked her what was her top 10 crafting supplies, and I have to say I'm glad we totally understand what really matters to each of us.  So here's the list with hers and mine. Here's what we came up with!

As you can see we think alike in the basic needs of any stamper.  Other items we need each day are mats to work on,  Great lighting and lots of imagination!  Every day I make cards, some days are better than others, but I know that if I keep working on it I will get better.  One way to increase your skills is by taking classes.  Altenew offers lots of different classes every day, and it's a learn at your own pace.  Visit Altenew and click on Education, then Altenew Academy. It was amazing all of the fabulous things they teach.

Today's card is using Artist Markers, from Altenew. I used set A, along with Dearest Friend Stamp Set and Die. I didn't do detail coloring, just simply fill in the area. I did a bit extra on the leaves on the left. But other than that I kept it simple.  CAS cards are well-liked when shared on social media. They can be easily recreated, with similar stamps, prints, and sentiments.  I used a sentiment from the DF stamp set, stamped in Obsidian Black which is my favorite ink to use. I also recently got the the Essentials- Rock Collection Paper Pack. It has so many amazing prints in the pack.  Let's take a look at the images I took. 

I recently started doing this sideways shot, and it's becoming my favorite!

Here's a great photo of my card! 

My close up shows how wonderful the details are!


When the Disciples asked Jesus, Lord how should we pray - he told them like this.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Have a beautiful day!
:)
