CTB BINGO CHALLENGE

Hello sweet friends!  I am stopping in today to share my card that I am submitting to the  Bugaboo Catch the Bug challenge.  The challenge this week is BINGO and I chose the middle vertical row which includes Distress, Flower and Friendship:

(A2: Stamps:  Bugaboo (Life in Color),EF: Tim Holtz) 

When I first saw this digital stamp I knew I wanted to try to quill it. It took a LOT longer than I exected, but I love the finished product. After printing the image and sentiment, I colored the image with Copic markers and then I quilled using the on-edge technique and a bit of traditional quilling. I am hoping the feathers can pass as flowers, and the sanded background counts as distressed. Of course the sentiment always work great for a friendship card! What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a link to the challenges so you can join in the fun!

BIBLE JOURNAL #7

Hello blogging friends!  This week’s post is a little bit different. I discovered a couple of great Facebook groups that are very inspiring! One is Art & Hand-Lettering Class | Dawn Nicole Designs, and Zenspirations® Create, Color, Pattern, Play! Dawn Nicole is such a talented artist and has been generous enough to share some of her templates. Here is the one I used this week:

and here is what I created:

“And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” 1 John 2:28 (KJV)

I showed you the original so you could see what I added. Copic markers were used to color this. I posted earlier this year that Abide is my word for the year, so I used it on this piece. I have never had a word of the year before, but I really like the idea because it makes me focus clearly on that word and what it means. Well, that is my journal for this week.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please take a second to let me you were here!

Have a blessed Sunday!

QUILLING: YOU STOLE MY HEART

Hello blogging friends!  I have not posted a lot this week because I have been working on a project that took a while. Anyway, I am now ready to share it with you!

I repurposed a glass candle jar for this quilled project. Inside is a garden of roses, hearts, a vine, and leaves. It is a little hard to take great pictures through the glass, but hopefully you can see what I did. After the quilling was finished, I made a sentiment on my computer and added an eyelet to run the ribbon through. I just tied it around the top of the jar. What do you think?

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please take a second to let me you were here!

Happy Crafting!
