A little birdie told me. . .

  I have not stopped giving thanks for you and remembering you in my prayers.

 This week the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog is changing it up...with a blog hop! Challenge #10 is ready at the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog but we are doing things a bit differently this time! We are doing a week-long blog hop with STENCIL GIRL!

Challenge #10 Spray It! Ink It! Paint It! Smear It! Emboss It!

Show us your inner mixed media diva! Use spray mists, inks, paints, modeling paste, embossing powder, pastels, chalk, and whatever messy media you can find! Let's dig into that hoard, pull out some of that "messy stuff," and use it up! There is a mess-maker hiding in all of you! Let her/him out to play!

Remember, you have two weeks to play in the new challenge! Challenge #10 closes Sunday, June 29 at midnight PT. Link up your project here to Challenge #10.

One talented participant will receive this prize, donated by Stencil Girl and WorldWin Papers.



Project Description

WorldWin Papers, including their lovely vellum, provided the foundation for this card, along with two Stencil Girl stencils, the Chevron Doily Mask (which I think looks like feathers) and Song Birds.  It was crafted for my dad for Father's Day. A little birdie didn't have to tell me he's the best dad: I already knew! I'm so thankful to the Lord for my father and for his steadfast love all of these years (including those where I was really quite hard to like, let alone, love!)

Do not grow weary. . .

Do Not Grow Weary. . .

Sometimes, many times, it is easy to grow discouraged and weary as we look around and see what appears to be the darkness of evil and wickedness closing in, yet we must remember the promises of the Lord and that He is, even now, making all things right. He promised that His kingdom will spread from a tiny seed to a magnificent tree covering the entire earth (to paraphrase).

We must press on in the strength He provides doing the good works He has called us to do, with our eyes fixed upon Him and our eternal home.. . .remembering that He who began a good work in you, WILL carry it forward to the day of completion. (If you want to learn more about God and his promises, please click on the Good News link above.)

Project Description

For this challenge, I used a Stencil Girl's Chevron Doily Mask stencil on a beautiful WorldWin Papers shimmery wheat card stock using Ranger Distress Inks in Cotton Candy,, Tumbled Glass and Faded Lipstick. Atop the stenciled doily, I've placed some Prima swirls, a Wilton pastry doily, a stamped banner and then accented with some FOLDED fans. The fans are crafted with papers from World Win (velum and pool). I then used flowers from 7 Gypsies and finished off with a vintage button from my collection (thanks to my mom and grandmothers!)

Paper: WorldWin Papers Pool, Red Apple, Vellum.
Ink: Brown, Ranger Distress Cotton Candy, Worn Lipstick, Tumbled Glass.
Accessories: Prima gems and swirls, 7 Gypsies flowers, Wilton pastry doily.
Stamps: Outside: Our Daily Bread Designs Thank You Sentiments; Inside ~ Verve and ODBD Thank You.
