A card and a Prayer


I found a new-to-me sketch challenge last night called the Deconstructed Sketch. I looked at some of the past sketches on Jen's, and I am already addicted.

I made this card up quick, but I think it looks like I spent a bunch of time on it (its the sketch I am telling you). I used my new SU! Edgelits borders on the main long strip and on the bottom of the front panel (I can tell I will be using them a lot). I pulled out my SU! set called Natural Beauty to do the front panel behind the flower - what a super set that has been for me (I think SU! should bring it back). Fun papers from Prima, some Cool Caribbean ink all over the whole thing, a flower and some sprigs, and a few pearls - and it was done!

It is going to my MIL who needs everyone's prayers. She had kidney surgery yesterday and the news was not good. She goes to the doctor in a week and they are going to decide the next plan of action. If you have some time this week or some room on your prayer list - please say some prayers for her. She is such a sweetie, and it breaks my heart that she may have to seriously suffer.

It's Friday! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hugz!!!!!

    This card is just gorgeous. Loaded with beauty. I'm sorry to hear of your MIL's illness and I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers, but if anything can make her feel a bit better it will be this card. Your color scheme is so pretty and I love how you used that stamp. I think I will have to pull that one out of my closet also. You flower has such an elegant look to it. Wonderful job.

    This is one gorgeous card, and it does look like it took forever to make! I love all the distressing and borders, and hopefully this will cheer up your MIL who is going through a rough time. I'm so sorry for her and will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

A Covered Bridge, a Shotgun Wedding, Patton Wisdom, and Some Art

 On our recent vaction, hubby and I got back to our historical marker seeking.  This time we visited the Clarkson Covered Bridge. It is super long and very cool.  We also found a website HERE that has a mapped out tour of Alabama where you can visit 7 in one day - a fun trip for a Fall weekend.  This is the only picture I took of the bridge. The day before, we visited the Patton Musuem at Ft. Knox, Kentucky and viewed Ft. Knox from as close as they will let you get. They say there is still a ton of gold in Ft. Knox - trillions of dollars worth.  We liked the Patton Museum.  I don't agree with most of Patton's management style, but do respect that he accomplished much.  I was impressed with some of his leadership statements like this one which I totally agree with: They have some fabulous items at the museum - hubby could have looked for hours and hours if I had let him. They have planes, tanks, and other vehicles there too so you can see exactly what ...
