Word Art Wednesday #252-253

Good morning crafty friends! I sure hope all is going well with y'alls weeks! 

Today I am excited to share that I will be a Guest Designer for this

month at Word Art Wednesday! It has been one of my favorite challenges for

quite some time. I love each weeks blog post and the encouragement

that each scripture gives. This weeks scripture is Proverbs 8:17.

Here is my card using the scripture image:

Mojo Monday #465

Good afternoon crafty friends! I hope y'all are having a great weekend! Well of y'all

haven't noticed, I've been MIA for a few weeks. We have gotten mostly moved

into our new house. I had been waiting to organize my new craftroom since there was

so much to do in the rest of the house that I didn't want to do it yet because then

I'd want to craft and then I'd feel guilty for not doing something more productive...

Well most of the house is about as done as it's going to get for the time being so I figured

it was time to start on my space! I put it together in two evenings after Elias went

down for the night. It's even bigger than I realized it was. I have so much open floor space

that I have no idea what to do with.. The room is at least 13x13, maybe 14x14.

It's actually the formal dining but this house has a very large and long living room that

has the perfect place for an 8 person dining table in it in front of a large window.

I was able to sit down and make a card to break in my new room while Elias was

taking a nap. I followed the current sketch from Mojo Monday. I am also entering this

 card into the current challenges over at Word Art Wednesday (anything goes), 

Really Reasonable Ribbon (things with wings and ribbon),

  Creative Knockouts (winged wonders), and Fab N Funky (inspired by nature).

Enabler's List:

Paper: BoBunny - Sweet Life

Stamps: Verve - Potter's Clay and Petals and Wings

Ink: CTMH - outdoor denim

Die: Verve - Leafy Sprigs

Misc: CTMH - gold sequins, RRR - aqua grosgrain ribbon

  

Mojo Monday #460

Good afternoon crafty friends and happy Friday! I hope y'all have fun weekends

in store! We were supposed to close on the new house yesterday (which was

the second reschedule) but a mess up on the paperwork has set it back to closing

hopefully on Monday. Third times the charm right? We're just ready to

get moving so we can get our current home on the market and hopefully sell

soon. Fortunately the houses in our neighborhood sell fairly quick so

it shouldn't take too long. Then we can really get into the remodel of the new place.

I'm not sure how much packing and moving help I'll be with a 3 month old.

I can maybe put him down for 2 or 3 hours a day. He usually doesn't nap longer

than 20-30 mins unless he's being held and he loves to be held! I'd 

assume just hire someone to pack it all up but I don't know how much that costs

and that'll take money out of my flooring budget. 

Anywho, before the little shorty waits up, which will be anytime soon since he's

been down 30 minutes, I wanted to share a quick card I whipped up

for the current Mojo Monday challenge. I will also share this on Wordart Wednesday.

Paper: American Crafts - Day Dreamer

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,

Good Lord's day my crafty friends! Hope y'all are having a great weekend!

am really enjoying singing in the choir! I am so glad I finally decided to do

it! I really do love to sing! I'm not good enough to sing a solo but

worship. I just love praising our Savior! Before I head out this morning, I wanted
