~ Thankful ~

Happy Tuesday!  I have a few days off and fortunately the weather has been mild.  I have been spending every moment I can outside.  I even resorted to working in the sheep barn yesterday!  :-)  My house needs attention but I know mild days will soon be a distant memory, so I plod on!  Today, I have a very simple card using a matted image from Papertrey Ink's First Fruits set.  I stamped it on a simple ivory panel and framed it with a nice houndstooth DP.   
 

Hope you have a few minutes to craft today!  {{hugs}}
Don't forget to stop back tomorrow for my weekly Word Art Wednesday project!  I can't wait to show it! 
 
Blessings...

Tulips are such happy flowers...



I saw a Robin this morning! He (or was it a she?) was perched on our church office steps. I hope the little guy wasn't confused and made a wrong turn. He may freeze his little feathers off! lol... Hopefully this is a sign of warmer and better weather to come! I spotted a red winged blackbird yesterday and heard a meadowlark singing in the field! All encouraging signs... Speaking of encouraging signs... I recently purchased a stamp set from Papertrey Ink. I love, love, love their Friendship Jar series. When I spotted the new Spring set, I fell in love... and then I ordered! Today's image comes from that set. Tulips remind me of spring. They make me want to sing just like the Robin... well, not as beautifully as the Robin... Good thing God said to make a "joyful noise..." Blessings to you and yours this Sabbath!

Copics and Redheads



Sorry it has been so long since my last post! Normally after work each day, I venture into my studio to get some work done. This week has not gone as planned on several levels. We are awaiting the pickup of one of our last puppies. And though I am sad to see her go, I know she will be loved in her new furever home... I took a trip to our state capital, Frankfort, on Thursday to meet with our state representative. I enjoyed seeing my state government in action. But I wonder how they get anything done! It is truly a chaotic process! Wednesday of course we had Bible study...

I love my life but it seems a little crazy right now! lol

For my prayer warriors, I ask particular consideration for a project I have been asked to do. I am creating a card for a young lady's 9th birthday. Her grandma asked me to make her something special. This card is the one time of year they have contact and I want this to be something to either break down barriers and/or soften hearts. Please pray for guidance on this endeavor!

Today's project was inspired by a dear friend, who asked for some color suggestions on coloring hair with Copics. I hope to shoot some video tutorials in the coming months on this topic. But today's creation is showcased the old fashioned way! I'm focusing on red hair! Enjoy and thanks again for reading!

P.S. Thanks Danielle for nominating me for the stylish blogger award! I appreciate the luv so very much. Please check out the post HERE to see how it works and who I nominated for this fun blogger award! Plus check out Danielle's work as well HERE .

Longing For Spring



I find myself pouring over catalogs feeling that urgent need to purchase something. After all I have been good, right? I wouldn't even considering buying something I don't need. The beautiful colors mesmerize me. I can't seem to stop thinking about beautiful pinks, blues and vibrant greens. I'm sure I can use them to create beauty. I am weakening and my debit card is sure to be the first casualty...

It must be card stock or new embellishments I'm drooling over, right? WRONG! The annual Burpee's seed catalog has arrived! And for gardeners it is as eagerly anticipated as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is for some! I am so tired of snow and mud and... need I say more? I crave daffodils, tulips, rudbekia and purple coneflower. I am convinced I can catch a whiff of the sweet fragrance of sweet peas in the air. Until then I can dream and so can you! Hope you enjoy this card inspired by one I spotted in a recent card magazine. Blessings to you!

The Sky is the Limit!



Valentine's Day will be here before we know it. Many of the cards I see are kinda frilly... you know all cupids, lace and the like. But sometimes that just doesn't do the trick. And I like to send notes of encouragement that tie in to the holiday/season. So today, I decided to create a card that could be sent to my best friend or my hubby. Because, truth is, everyone needs a little encouragement now and then. Here's hoping you have a wonderful day!

A Little Love



Pardon me... I think there is a Tina Turner tune playing in my head... "what's love got to do with it?"... I just aged myself, didn't I? ;-p

Love has a great deal to do with it really. I love that sign people post in their homes... "because two people fell in love..." So now we know who to blame, right? Indulge my silliness please...

February will be here before we know it. I haven't been to my local box store but I suspect the big heart shaped candy boxes are on the shelves. Rows of conversation hearts... so fun to look at but does anyone really eat them? hmmmmm...

Valentine's day is usually low key at our home. We rarely dine out. Usually we fix something at home and just hang out. Most years we just talk about where we've been and where we're going. Sometimes it is important to just take stock of where each other is at and where the relationship as a whole is going. How do you know if you don't ask? So this little card will probably go to my honey. Hopefully he will think kindly of me and not ding me too hard when we discuss the good and bad of the last year... lol

This stamp set from Papertrey Ink is so versatile. I love that it can be used for all those "mushy" occasions. Clean and simple... stamping the way I like it... Enjoy and have a wonderful and blessed day!

The journey... and a sympathy card

Sympathy cards are something I rarely do. I started this blog roughly two years ago to showcase some of my work. My card making has changed (for better or worse) over the last several years. I started out scrapbooking almost 9 years ago but changed to card making after a dear friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. Kathy battled breast cancer roughly 8 years ago. She had just passed the coveted 5 year point. Not long after, she found out her cancer had returned. This time the prognosis was anything but good. Her doctors gave her a year at best. I decided to try my hand at card making. And for close to 2 years I mailed a card nearly every week. That is until the last few weeks.... life slipped up on me and before I knew it 4 weeks had passed without sending a card.... and then Wednesday I was given the news.... Kathy had passed on....

Kathy was a devoted Christian and not a day went by that she didn't share her testimony. The love of Christ beamed in her eyes even as the rest of her body failed. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend and will be missed by her friends and family. She is no longer suffering. But I know she would want me to continue on and make cards for others. She enjoyed them so and took every opportunity to share with others how much she loved her "mail" from me. So this card (2 actually) will go to her husband and daughter. They close a wonderful chapter and friendship in my life. Until we meet again Kathy....

Blessings -

Lori

This card was inspired by a card I spotted in one of the many magazines I receive each month. I used my brayer to roll on a light coat of gray ink and then followed by stamping the tree image on top. I finished it off with a red bird and the sentiment in black.

Friendship Jar - Holiday Edition



Sounds like we may get a snowflake or two tonight in the Ohio Valley. It will be mixed with rain but I guess this will mark the unofficial start of winter. So with that in mind, I decided to pull out a holiday theme. The image I used today is from Papertrey Ink. The main design is known as a Friendship Jar. With each holiday/season you can purchase images to stamp inside the jar. A while back I posted an image with candy corns and then another with leaves and acorns inside the jar. This set has peppermints, sugar cookies, snowflakes and even stamps that can convert the jar to a mug brimming with hot chocolate. Cool, huh? Well, maybe hot... tee hee...

To complete this image I had to pull out some tartan (this designer paper is from SEI) plus a myriad of card stock. I stamped the lid image on the tartan and after cutting it out paper pieced it onto the image. The third layer of card stock is actually a metallic paper (silver to be exact). The silver, red and black combo really stand out. I can't wait to give this card away!

Hope you are having a wonderful week. Please watch my blog over the coming week or so as I have some fun things going on! I can't wait to see you! Blessings!

A message in a bottle...



Well the weather in Kentucky is just not cooperating! It is late October and the high will be 79 degrees today! Makes it a little hard to think about making Christmas cards. The mild weather is wonderful, though. I enjoy having a few more mild days to get things done in the yard and just plain play! The last few days my house had remained neglected... :-( but I have been prolific. So I thought you might want a sample of some of the things I have been up to. For those planning on doing some Copic coloring on their Christmas cards check out the final of my two cards today for some Copic color suggestions! Have a wonderful and blessed Sabbath with yours!

Sugar, Corn Syrup and Salt...



What in the world could these three ingredients create? Candy Corn! Does anyone really eat candy corn or is it like the Christmas fruit cake that is re gifted from one home to the next? My Dad LOVED candy corn! And as soon as they appeared in the stores a bag would inevitably surface at our house!

There was something about chewing little colorful balls of wax that made me grimace.... and to this day I still grimace... But I LOVE looking at them. They are so colorful and fun! So when I saw this Friendship Jar Filler set from Papertrey Ink, I had to bite! (Pun intended)...

I hope to revisit some of those fond fall memories I have... And yes, maybe I will even eat some candy corn in my Dad's honor! Hope you make it a wonderful day!

Giving Thanks



There are many things to give thanks for each and every day. We are never promised a tomorrow and for those who know the Lord Christ as their Savior there is the comfort of spending eternity with him. I am thankful for my family, my country and my Lord. There are so many blessings that he has given me. I deserve none of them. It is only through his grace and mercy that I can even be called a Child of the King.

As you may know this week I have taken a slight sabbatical from blogging. There have been many changes this week. If you read my last post you know that our son left for school last Sunday. I had a difficult few days dealing with that. A day later I found out that a cousin had been killed while serving as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan. The entire family is very proud of this young man and his sacrifice but it is difficult for his mother and grandmother to understand. Death is difficult to understand and hard to cope with when you do not know the peace that passes all understand. Thank you in advance for your prayers for this family. And above all give thanks for the blessings in your life. They are plentiful!

Notes on image - the two pumpkins outside the basket are actually a stamped image. I first stamped them on two sheets of paper (one on Gina K. paper and the other on scrap paper) and then cut the scrap image out. I used this as a mask over the good image (stamped on Gina K) and then stamped my basket over it. Removed the mask and voila! This way the basket appears to be behind the pumpkins. This is known as "masking" an image.

Psalm 4:8



Well, step-son left yesterday for school. Dad handled it beautifully but step-mom fell apart... I kept blubbering... and asking hubby why I was taking this so hard... He had some very wise words to share... "it takes a special kind of woman to love another woman's biological child. You my dear have loved him as if he were your very own..." So after I sobbed some more... (Kleenex made a killing off of me yesterday...) I pulled myself together long enough to work on this card. I had some leftover pieces of paper and the sentiment... it says it all. Here's to new beginnings and new blessings! Have a wonderful week!

Vintage Picnic



When was the last time you went on a honest to goodness picnic? It has been a long time for me. Matter of fact, when I tried to think of the last time I couldn't even come up with a time! :-( I definitely need to rectify that situation! I saw this paper used recently in one of my card magazines. It brought to mind those vintage picnic tins. It also brought back fond memories of my lunch box in grade school. As I write this, that
70's lunch box is sitting on my bookcase! The image and sentiment from Papertrey Ink lend themselves perfectly to this paper. To achieve this look, I actually stamped the image twice, once on the cardstock for coloring and again on the pattern paper. I then cut out the stamped image from the pattern paper and applied it over the stamped image on my cardstock. Voila, a beautiful, dimensional image... Here's to summer and picnics! Enjoy!

Balloons and Cows...

That was an interesting teaser! What in the world would a hot air balloon and cows have in common? Check my final photo out!



Well for one brief evening two summers ago in my part of the world a great deal. You see we have a hot air balloon race here in our area the first weekend in August. On this particular evening my hubby, mother and I gathered on our front porch to watch the launch. Keep in mind that the balloons took off over ten miles away! But as luck would have it and the shifting winds, the balloons got closer and closer! So close in fact several began landing on the property next door much to the chagrin of the neighbors beef cattle! It was an exciting evening for all. People pulled in our country lane to watch the parade of landing balloons and for a little while the world seemed a little smaller. Here's to another wonderful summer chocked with family, friends, lemonade and those wonderful lofty balloons! The above card is an interpretation of that wonderful season called summer...
