Try Stampin' on Tuesday #233

Good morning Try Stampin' on Tuesday fans! Hope y'all are having a great
week so far! We have started to have some more pleasant weather here in central OK.
Though I have to say that it really hasn't been too bad this summer. 
Usually we have many days in the 100's and so far we have only had a few. 
Most of the hottest days have been in the mid to high 90's. I don't know about y'all, but 
I am so very ready for some fall weather! I love temperatures in the 60's!

We have a new sketch and twist challenge for y'all to play along with! It is open
for the next two weeks. You can do the sketch or the twist or both!


Optional twist: Make it a Window

Pals Paper Arts #264


Good morning crafty friends! I hope y'all have all had a great weekend and
are geared up for a great week! We had a wonderful Sunday yesterday! We went to
church where we learned and discusses some great things in scripture, then
we went out to my parents for lunch and a 4 hour game of Phase 10! Which my dad
won even though he started off in last but caught up after a while. I also have
off work today (at least until 4. I'll have to go in if the spine surgeon goes later than
4 although I doubt that'll happen) so I'm going to meet up with one of my sisters for
lunch! We usually don't see each other during the week so I'm looking forward to it!
Until then I'm going to get some cleaning and laundry done. Before I start on those tasks,
I wanted to share a card I made last night following the current sketch from Pals Paper Arts.
I am also entering this card into the current challenges at Can You Case It,
Wordart Wednesday, Addicted to CAS, and Cute Card Thursday.

Good Sunday morning crafty friends! I sure hope all y'all have had a great weekend
so far! We are about to head out to church this morning. I'm ready for
choir because I've had our special stuck in my head all week.! Been singing and
humming randomly throughout the days. Not that that is a bad thing at
all! I'm ready to sing it in church though! Some of y'all might know it. It's "Greater"
by MercyMe! Such a wonderful song with a great message that reminds
us that we are never too messed up to get to God! He calls us redeemed! That doesn't
mean we will never mess up again, but if we give everything to Him, he work
in us to heal and transform us, and make a new day by day! Before I head out though,
I wanted to share a card I made following the August week 3 sketch from Viva la Verve.
