365 Project - Day 30

I won this super cute set from the Your Next Stamp blog hop a few weeks ago.  I couldn't wait to play with it.  As I worked with it, I was reminded of the many friends I've met through the barn.  So, this one is for them.  I'm very thankful for them and the love of horses that we all share.

Yep ... this pretty much says it all ... "Barn to be wild."  Ha!!

We just need a horse with his head over that fence, huh?? :) 

I hope all of you are having a wonderful Thursday, and that you have a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.

Rock Stars

Today, I made a rock star card for a very special young man.  This will be going out to him this week to encourage him to continue working toward regaining strength and motor skills.

This is a set from Clear Dollar Stamps and it's colored with Copics.  On top of the Copics, I used the Glitter Spica on the blue part of the drums.  The brown layer is embossed with a music folder, and baker's twine was added to the bottom for embellishment.  I wanted to keep it very masculine.

Have a wonderful Saturday night and a great, big, beautiful tomorrow!! :)

Day 17 Project

My day 17 project... another page of the chipboard journal.

Everyone needs a set of Quackers in their lives.  No, I didn't say they need Quacks.  I said that they need Quack-ers. :) Mine is on Splitcoaststampers, and I'm happy to say that they have been friends of mine since 2004..... wow ... 10 years.  It's amazing how people can become friends through the internet.  We've been through a lot of good and bad.  I'm glad that we've all been through it together.  I'm very thankful for each of them.

So, today, my chipboard journal page was inspired by the Quackers. 

I think there are only 2 more pages in this journal for me to complete.  Hmmm ... I wonder what my 'go-to' project is going to be once those are done! :) Sketches?  Photography? We'll see.

Live the life, and live it well.

Day 16 ..... Whimsy Chipboard Journal Page

I'm sharing my day 16 project today.  

I love being silly, and I love whimsy.  I'm so glad that God gave us the ability and freedom to laugh and be silly.  How wonderful it is to be able to express that joy and delight ... and to share it with others.

I focused this page of my chipboard journal around whimsy.  Every page I do in this journal has at least one butterfly.

Ecclesiastes 3:4 - ....a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance....

I hope this page expresses joy and whimsy.  I love the bright and cheerful feel of it.

Have a wonderful Thursday and a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.

Ooh La La!

The princess had a slumber party this past weekend, and the theme was Paris/French poodle.  We needed a card, and this Mimi set worked perfectly.

It is colored with ... yeah, you already know .... Copics.  The tag up on the top was airbrushed and then sprayed with glitter spray, but you can't really see it on here.  The background of the Eiffel Tower was also airbrushed.  

Hopefully, Miss Madeline liked her gift and card. :) 

I have also completed 2 weeks with my 365 Project.  You can find that on my other blog, Live the Life, if you'd like to see it.

Have a wonderful Monday and a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.

My New Project

Today, I'm sharing a post from my other blog, Live the Life.  Since January 1, I have been doing one project each day.  Some projects are photography, and others are sketches.  I've had a variety of mediums so far.  The goal, however, is to do one creative project every day.  Each project is based on a central theme or subject.  Mine is My Awesome God.  This is my post on that blog today....

"Create in me a pure heart, O God,

And renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10

 

 

My favorite chapter in the Bible is Psalm 51. It's a beautiful plea by David for redemption and salvation. I believe that we should all pray this chapter from time to time. What a change in our lives we could have by truly praying it from our hearts.

 

 

Today's project is based on Psalm 51 and the change that the verses seek. I started a chipboard journal today. The first page is done and is the day 7 project. 

I'm not sure what kind of project tomorrow holds.  It's a Wednesday, and we'll be out and about a lot of the day.

Live the life, and live it well.
