Masculine card

Hello there, everyone! I hope your week is going well and you are creating away.

 I have a hard time with masculine cards, so I wanted to play around a bit and see if I could come up with one that I wouldn't mind sharing. Lol So, this is what I came up with.

This card is created with a light blue basic card base, layered with torn black card stock, a stamped rooster image in black ink on torn designer scrapbook paper with added twine and hello tag.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today! Hugs Brenda

Funky Friday!

Well, hello everyone! I know it's been a while since I've posted, I guess you can say I've been in a crafters funk. Lol There has been so much going on around here, I just couldn't think straight. I know I'm not the only one who's ever been there, right? Anyway, I'm back and ready to play!

I thought, since I've been in a crafters funk, I would call this post funky Friday! So with the theme in mind, I created a card with festive and funky colors.

Thank you all, so much for stopping by today. Have a festive and funky weekend! Hugs Brenda

Bookmarks for a Christian Women's Conference.

Wow! I can't believe July is already on it's way out. This month has really flown by! I have been so busy, that I don't know where the month has gone to. I've been keeping my grandchildren through the summer and trying to keep them busy with fun things, cause I didn't want them to think staying with Nonnie ( that's what they call me ) was boring. Lol It wasn't boring on my end, I'll tell ya! I hope they have enjoyed them selves, because I have certainly enjoyed them.

I want to share with you today, bookmarks that I made for a Christian Women's conference. The theme was " Beauty for Ashes " So this to me, was a time for reflecting and cleaning out the junk in our lives and becoming a new creature.

On these bookmarks, I wanted to show that when we clean out all of the past junk in our lives, it allows new growth and also a new birth. This is something I still struggle with on a day to day bases. The flowers show new growth and the butterfly is an example of new birth or rebirth. God can give both.

Thank you so much, for stopping by today. I pray you all will have a blessed week! Hugs Brenda

All Those Five Petal Flowers...............A Tutorial

Hi everyone! Tonight I want to share with you, on what you can do with all those five petal flowers that we buy in bulk. We buy them and then think OMG! What am I going to do with all these flowers?

1.) Turn the flowers over so the raised side of the petals are on the bottom.

2.) Take the first flower and add glue to the center, then pull all the petals up and to the center.

3.) You'll need four more flowers to be able to make a full open rose.

4.) Every time you add a flower, off set the petals.

 5.) Add the last flower.

 6.) After you add that last flower, it should look like this.

I hope this helps to condense some of the stash that's sitting around on your desk, like it helped me.
Thank you for the visit. Hugs to all! Brenda

Operation Overboard...............

Wow! What a fantastic weeks it's been. We are having our very first Vacation Bible School at our church. We had the best craft team you could possibly imagine, create the decorations for this event. I can't say enough about it. It looks wonderful! The theme is Operation Overboard for Jesus. I've been teaching the crafts all week and let me tell you, when I get home I'm done for the night. Lol........But it's worth it! Here are some pictures of the set up and decorations.

Now you know where I've been all week. It's hump day, only two more days. I must say I'm pretty tired. Lol..............I think the kids are having a ball! I know I am!

Thank you for stopping by and allowing me to share. Hugs to all! Brenda
