Card Frenzy!

I guess I'm on a card frenzy, again! I go through phases!! I hadn't made a card in months! I did 2 more cards using the August Kit from Memory Works.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!! God Bless!

2 Sketches 4 U...

Wow! It's been a while since I participated over at 2 Sketches 4 You! And since I had some of scraps left over from my Memory Works "August Kit", I decided to give this week's sketch a shot!! It's an awesome sketch by Laura! Here's the sketch and my card:

I decided to do a couple more cards with my scraps! It was fun!! I'm short on "boy" birthday cards and thought these papers would be perfect!

On a separate note, I took these silly pictures of Jeremy yesterday. This little thing cracks me up! He was pulling the sheets off my bed and got himself all tangled up! It was so funny! He is such a goofball sometimes!!

Another Cyber Crop!

But this time it's over at Simply Obsessed!!!  It's this weekend!!!  I plan on joining in on the fun and getting lots of scrappin' done!!!  Come join in on the fun!!!

A few "scrappy" things to share!

Finally, this week I have been in full "scrap" mode!! That first layout gave me the "kick" I needed!! Here a few more layouts I did this week that I would like to share.

I don't know what it is about my girls...they are so "high maintenance"! LOL! My boys...total opposite...very low key! I feel sorry for my husband when these two get older!!

For this first layout I used the August Kit from Memory Works! Unfortunately, this kit is already sold out! I just loved using these papers from Prima.

Supplies Used: Bazzill Cardstock (white), Prima Patterned Paper (Dude Collection), American Craft Thickers, Prima shape-o-rama overlay, Prima Sticky Notes, Prima Flowers, Buttons Galore Buttons, Fancy Pants Stick Pins, Zig Writer (black), Colorbox Ink (black)

For this second layout, I used Simply Obsessed's Birthday Kit featuring Rose Moka. I absolutely loved the bright colors of these papers. So fun!

Supplies Used: Bazzill Cardstock (black), Rose Moka Patterned Paper, American Craft Thickers, Rose Moka Letter Stickers (green), Making Memories Glitter Alpha (i), Queen & Co. Felt Flowers, Prima Flowers, Queen & Co Brads, Making Memories Brads, Doodlebug Buttons, Buttons Galore Buttons, Colorbox Ink (black), Zig Writer (black)

In addition to these layouts, I also created the first scripture card for 2009. Our first word was "faith". As I studied the word faith, there were so many verses I had found. I wanted to include them all on my card. However, I chose two that spoke to me the most. These verses reminded me of our recent Bible Study classes on "faith". The title of our study was "Increasing our Faith". (Luke 17:5) Hebrews 11:1-6 (with an emphasis on Hebrews 11:1) were the main verses of our study and we would read them during each class. Because I want to keep these verses close to me for reference, I decided to use them on my card.

Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Luke 17:5 "...Increase our faith!"

And don't forget, Scrap4Life's weekend cyber crop starts tonight at midnight!!! Hope to see you there!! I hope to get lots of scrappin' done this weekend!!!

God Bless!

My Prayers for You Challenge

Faith Sisters is hosting a "My Prayers for You" Challenge!  I just love this idea and decided to play along as well!  I will be creating an 8X8 album and focusing my cards on my 4 children.  In today's world, it is so important to constantly keep our children in our prayers.   Here's the  first page for my book:

Week 1 Scripture:  “Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children.”~Lamentations 2:19

My Prayer:  Holy Spirit, please bring to my remembrance the desire to pray scripture over my children’s lives. Help me to hide these scriptures in my heart and the hearts of my children. In Jesus name. Amen.

I am looking forward to our next challenge and my finished book!

On a different note, I did some blog hopping this morning!  I love looking at all the cards from Kazan's sketch blog, 2 Sketches 4 You!  Well, this led me to Christine's blog "Creative Journey" and she's celebrating 50,00o posts to her blog!  To celebrate, she's giving away a cute RAK, stop by and leave a comment for a chance to win her goodies!!!   Congratulations, Kristine!!!
