MoJo Monday 80 & Our Creative Corner Challenge

Hi All!

This is my 2nd post today (30th).... meaning I won't be posting on Tuesday! I finally finished 2 of the projects I planned on doing today - other "stuff" got in the way and .... well! you know how it goes! :)

I combined the Mojo Monday sketch challenge with the OCC challenge ...which is a color challenge this week - using More Mustard, Not Quite Navy, and Bashful Blue! This seemed like an odd combo to me but I really like the finished card! So there you go! You never know how it will turn out until you're at the end of the project! Love that!

I apologize for the poor quality pic! If anyone out there has some suggestions for me on taking better pics I'd love your feedback! Thanks

Enjoy!

Peace & Joy - Ruthie

BLEACHING

HEY!

Are you nice and dry this morning? Boy! Did it rain and blow last night! I was awake at one point and there was thunder and lightning....that's a sure sign of spring, isn't it? I did some bleaching the other day - here are 2 cards I made using that technique - I used the flower from Embrace Life - this is a technique I've tried in the past and I'm still not sure if I like the result or not!

There is a great tutorial for this technique with Gina K. on Stamp TV... I like what she did with it.

I have 3 challenges to do today ... Mojo Monday; and 2 for my 6X6 "His Holy Name" scrapbook... gotta get cracking! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Digital Paper!

HEY!

This blog just passed the 1000 "peeks" mark! How awesome is that?!!!!

I have a card to show you that I made using some "digital paper"...

Until the other day I wasn't even sure what "digital paper" was... I was on StampTV with Gina K... and saw a tab saying "freebies" - of course that caught my attention. Checked it out - found some paper give aways... downloaded them, saved them , then printed a few pages on white cardstock! On this card I used the striped quilted patterened paper - cut it with the Top Note and voila! Enjoy!

There is a stampers group set up for Nova Scotia on Stamp TV - at present there are only 8 members... those of you from our beautiful province might want to check this out, too!

Have a great day!

Resting in HIM!

Stamps & Smiles Sketch Challenge #8 - Spring Song!

'Morning!

Thanks for stopping by!

I received some new DSP a couple nights ago! It's called Bella Bleu - coordinating colors are Vanilla, Not Quite Navy, Kraft - and of course, all these colors can be mixed and matched with more vibrant colors! As some of you know I have been a hoarder of DSP - but have been "letting go" for the past few months and using it!

I did the challenge at Stamps & Smiles ... and quite like the result! Hope you do too!

I just love this little bird - I colored him with markers and a blender pen - using Not Quite Navy and So Saffron - I've never seen a little fellow like this at my feeders but that doesn't mean he isn't out there somewhere! Right?

Remember - "His compassions are new every morning!"

Blessings on yah!

Ribbon Rose

Hi Everyone!

I imagine this is TGIF for some of you! I know that when I worked outside the home I was always so glad to see Friday roll around! :)

I have so much to show you - I have had to restrain myself from putting it all on one post! LOL!!!

I found this great tutorial for the Ribbon Rose - and it is so easy!!!! - check out this site:

Here is my first attempt at using this Rose as an embellishment - I'm sure I'll be using it again and again!

Have a great day!

Remember - "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Blessings on yah!
