Under Your Wings

"Under Your Wings" is the title of this month's featured digi at Deedee's Digis.  Owls are so popular and this little owl image comes with a great assortment of sentiments.  Plus you get the image colored and uncolored!  What more can you ask?  Well, there is more!!  When you enter this month's challenge using "Under Your Wings", you will get next month's set FREE!  Gotta love those freebies!

Kitty Bee Designs DT Spotlight

Being part of the Kitty Bee Design Team is such a blessing!  One thing that is really neat is that there is a Design Team Spotlight and today it's me! 

I love the Kitty Bee images.  It's so hard to just chose one to use.  But since Winter was so long and harsh this year and Spring has arrived here in Ohio I wanted to use an image that reminded me of Spring.  I used "Under The Stars Bear". You can find him and all the other great images at the Kitty Bee Designs store.  I used some papers I had in my stash along with some Washi Tape - doing a take on one of the Freshly Made sketches.

Aloha Friday - Easter

Can you believe that Easter is right around the corner?  It's very close so it's time to make those Easter cards!  At Kitty Bee Designs we are helping you with that task by giving you a challenge to participate in so you can make those cards.

For my card I used an image called "Three Amigos" by Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet.  I thought it was so cute!!!  I had some scap papers that I was able to use too.  The image is colored with Bic Sharpies and Spectrum Noir markers.

Carriers of Faith - All God's Children

It's the 9th and that means it's the Carriers of Faith blog hop!  You should have arrived here from Barb's blog.  If you stayed and visited for a while then you have learned that Barb is quite the talent...and between you and me - I think she must have a second home that only contains her paper collection because she always has the PERFECT paper for every card she makes!  (Love ya Barb!)

Our theme for this month is "All God's Children". We are supposed to create or share something depicting a baby, child, teen, or adult - as we are all special in His eyes!  Our scripture to focus on for the month  is from Mark 9:36-27:

And Jesus took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them, "Whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent me".

My card is not only for the Carriers of Faith blog hop, but also for Crafter's Cafe.  The theme at Crafter's Cafe is Spring...and I used an image from Inky Impressions called "Maddie Spreading Love". 

So how does this apply to the Carriers of Faith?  Well, not only is it a picture of a young girl...but even the name of the image including "Spreading Love".  Isn't that what we are called to do?  To share the love of Jesus and spread His love?  I heard a song one day while I was in my craft room listening to KLOVE on the internet.  The song talked about how he wanted people to see Jesus through him.  That has become my prayer....I pray that when people see me - they see Him...that when they talk to me - they hear Him coming through...that in some way my life is a reflection of all He has done for me.  I'm blessed.  And I pray that today He will bless you in a very special way!!

Your next stop on the Carriers of Faith blog hop is Paula...spend some time there - she's another amazing talent!!!

It's a Cherry Good Day!

I don't think I've made a card just for fun in a while.  So it was fun to sit down and go through my digi's and just pick something out randomly!  I loved this fruit image...it's from Doodle Pantry.  I found the cherry paper in my stash and thought it was just perfect.

Fancy Folds

Do you have any idea how many creative folds there are out there?  Are you one that makes cards folded many different ways?  If so - do I have the challenge for you!!!  Pattie's Creations Design Challenge theme is "Fancy Folds".  The only rule is that you must always use an image in your creation.

I've noticed I do a lot of confession here on this blog and today I'm doing another one.....I don't typically do any fancy folding.  Yeah, I know...I get stuck in a rut but it's where I'm comfortable.  I think that's why I like doing challenges - it's forces me outside my little box.  For my card I used Pattie's wonderful "Pocket Watch" image.  I thought about coloring it - but then I decided to just take some inks in various colors and ink up the whole image and paper.  I've seen it done but have not done it myself (at least I don't think I have in the past).  Shocking - I really liked it it turned out!  The fold I used is a double z fold.  It's a simple card (as are all my cards), but I did really like the final results.  And this card is already in the mail too.

 

Stop by Pattie's Creations Design Challenge and join the fun.  Plus be sure to pick up the freebie available (for a short time).

Things with Wings!

I love birds.  There is just something about them.  Maybe it's their ability to fly.  Maybe it's because when they soar they look so free.  Maybe it's because their songs are so pretty.  I don't really know what it is - but I just adore them.  It doesn't matter what size they are - the small ones the large ones - they all amaze me.  So when the theme at Digistamps4Joy is "Things With Wings" - of course I have to use birds!  I used an image called "Juvenile Trio" and it's just so sweet!  I wanted the image to be the sole focus of the card so I kept this one very simple - just color the image and add little paper punched out for something extra.....that's it.

 

If you have never checked out Digistamps4Joy I encourage you to do so....there are SO MANY DIFFERENT IMAGES!  It amazes me!!!!
