Good Sunday morning stamping friends!  Wow, this week really has flown by. My oldest was in basketball camp and had a blast. It was organized by a local church and they were sure sneaking in some bible teaching and prayer as well....LOVE it!! I am already looking forward to VBS the beginning of July. All right, this week over at Stampin' Sisters in Christ none other than Lisa Hjulberg is the hostess and she has been challenging us to create a Father's Day card or card that honors God. Well, I went with a card to honor God. Not that hard, as I believe any time you use a scripture on your card, you are doing just that. Lisa has chosen this scripture


(Eph 6:2-4 NRSV) "Honor your father and mother"--this is the first commandment with a promise: {3} "so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." {4} And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.


And here is what I came up with


Anchor

Recipe:

Paper: PTI Kraft, textured card stock from my stash, Basic Grey Lime Rickey, Life of the Party

Stamps: ODBD Anchor

Ink: VersaFne Onyx Black, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Faded Jeans

Accessories: MayArts Twine, Basic Grey buttons, Spellbinders Eyelet Squares, Labels 12


What do you think? I know my cards are always a little more simple than the cards I usually make, but according to my husband, men don't like all of that stuff on their cards. ;D

Hello and happy Sunday my sweet stamping friends! It is time for a new Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge and this week none other than my sweet friend Chris is the hostess!

This is the scripture Chris chose:


Psalm 121:2-4 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip: he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

And the challenge is

Create a card or project with a tea or coffee cup or pot-this can be the designer paper, the image, or embellishment

I have to tell you all, I was searching through all of my Designer Paper and I could not believe that I did NOT have any, not even a one piece of paper with a tea cup or teapot on it. I went to Michael's just to to see if I could find a tea cup charm, but nothing.  But, while standing in line I had to pass the $ bins and EUREKA, there were some items in the bin with tea cups on them. So, to make a long story short, I chose a canvas with a fun little tea cup on it and was a happy camper :D:D

Have a look how I turned a canvas with a tea cup into a fun little gift.



Recipe:

Paper: PTI Ripe Avocado, White

Stamps: ODBD Mini Tags 3

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, VersaMagic Spanish Olive

Accessories: Canvas with a tea cup picture on it, Spellbinders Labels 18, FancyTags Two, white cotton crochet lace, Prima Rose, Wild Orchid Crafts roses, leaves cut with my Cricut Expression Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge

Isn't this fun? I just love it and wish I would have gotten a few more.
