My swap partner was Lisanne the Bathtub Junkie she was so sweet to send me all these yummys… look at the list…
Thank you Lisanne for all the wonderful goodies!
Here is a wedding invitation I made that matches with the mini paint can/center pieces I shared back in September. This was the first time I ever used digital scrapping brushes in photoshop, it was fun.
And here is some wedding layouts for my wonderful client, she was such a beautiful bride! And just look at her adorable bridesmaids!
In this layout I finally tried a couple new techniques… on the left I put acrylic paint in the grooves of my Making Memories letter charms to make the L-O-V-E stand-out… in the middle-corner I let my sewing machine poke holes, then I sewing with embroidery thread by hand to give me nice straight lines… and on the left I stamped with my Close to My Heart Playful Flourishes with versamark ink covered in grey chalk to give it the soft tone-on-tone look.
I also used Heidi Swapp fuzzy rub-ons for the first time, it was a little harder to get them to transfer compared to traditional rub-ons, but the raised detail was totally worth the trouble.
Be sure to let me know what you think of my work, I could use a good critique, especially since all this work is for my clients… thank you ladies…. have a get day!
Here’s a fun new thing I was invited to and will participate in since I usually share new layouts on Sunday’s anyway.
Here’s a page I finished at the last crop with my scrapbooking friends. The layout design is from the new Imagine Book from Close to My Heart, what do you think?
Well I had a full and blessed day with my family today. We went over to my uncle’s house for I nice Thanksgiving meal. I was blessed because my uncle asked me to pray, but then I was frustrated with myself when my husband said I prayed too much like a kid, well it doesn’t help that I’m a mommy and I was telling my daughter to close her eyes because we were gonna pray…. then mommy mode kicked in and I prayed as if I was leading children in prayer, now I just hope that God was glorified today regardless of me, and I am just thankful prayer even happened in that household (something I have never seen, and I am 25). Maybe I am just too sensitive pregnant, but I was also put on the spot a bit when my uncle choose me over any of the other Christians there, I just say praise God.
And now for the winners of my Thankful for Friends Giveaway….
The winners were chosen by Random.org
My son’s first night in his twin bed! We took my daughter’s bunkbed apart and put the top bunk where his crib was (next to her). I figured he was ready since he was climbing into the top bunk anyway… I also figured it is more safe to fall from this far than to fall from playing on the top bunk.
Now I just need to work on the bedding choices to make it more boy/girl room friendly… I think I really like this monkey set from Target… it will match the wood of the bed and the blue on the walls, what do you think?
I decided to crochet a couple of scarfs for some family members for Christmas. These are the first ones I have ever made and I am very pleased with how they turned out.
It took me a while to figure out how thick to make them at first, but once I figured that out it only took me about an hour per scarf.
I know some of you are probably thinking, “What happened to the blanket she started making in September?” Well I have not given up on it, I just wanted to get these done first… plus I had to buy more yarn for the blanket before I could move on… which I have done, so you will see an update on that later :o)
If you didn’t notice on my November 2nd post I am encouraging a little giveaway, and having one of my own. If you have not yet signed-up to win what I am giving be sure to comment here or on on my last Friday for Friends post. Here is a couple pics of the altered items that are included in my giveaway from Joyous Creations.
Just wanted to share the new photos of my kiddos from Kiddie Kandids. My son is 1 1/2 now and my daughter will be 3 very soon.
Okay ladies. I know you haven’t heard from me in a while… I am still here and very glad some of you still come to visit me, THANK YOU! :o)
I was planning another giveaway for my Friday for Friends carnival and thought “Why not encourage others to do the same thing to show that they are thankful too?” Your giveaway doesn’t have to be anything big, just something from your heart… you will see what I am giving further down in this post.
For my GIVEAWAY this time I will chose 2 winners. Each winner will be able to chose $10 in product from the Inventory list on my post from October 18th… Plus you will receive a handmade altered item from Joyous Creations. Please leave a comment on this post to enter. The winner will be chosen Thanksgiving Day. Non-bloggers welcome. God Bless.
