~Red Letter Bread Clips~

Around the House Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

This caught my eye at Pinterest.

I went through my stash of bread clips and this is what I made.

 (Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Collection 6,October Afternoon DP,hole punch,Brilliance red ink,Joann's clear embossing powder,Piggy Tales DP,Sizzix flower,Kid's Jewelry friendship thread,Fiskar's rotary cutter scalloped blade,Creative Memories corner rounder,)

I hope the recipient will remove the clip and put it where she needs reminding.


Hope is needed by everyone, I think.


Simon Says Stamp and Show a Red Letter Day
made me think of my Red Letter Bible and the words of Jesus.



He brings me Hope. ;)


I drew my colors from Inspired By #6

CAS-ual Fridays #35
encouraged me to use my scalloped blade in my rotary cutter for the tag.

My hope is that you are encouraged today. ;)

~Forget the Scale~

I got inspired by the dreaded "scale" at the back of a hosiery envelope.

I cut it out to save for a card.

This is what popped in my head:

I know I will need to encourage some girlfriend by spring.

That girlfriend could be me!   LOL

I've already put on a few since Thanksgiving...sigh

A couple of challenges helped me get this card done:

~Having You for Parents~

My parents are the best.

They really are.

At the beginning of this month, they took us to Disney World.

I owe them a huge thank you.

Thank You, Mom and Dad

for feeding us... (LOL  ...A LOT!!!!...go for the meal plan but don't over-count)....

keeping us dry (mom thought ahead and packed us ponchos...good thing, too...it rained straight for two days)...

for walking NON-STOP for six days so your grandkids could see ALL DISNEY HAD TO OFFER...

for flying all this way....

and so much more. ;)

I borrowed this sentiment from Pin-interest that I found when I searched for "dad".

I changed it to parents.

The challenges which inspired me:

The Play Date Cafe PDCC104

and JustRite Friday Challenge 061 Get Scrappy.

I didn't use old scraps..but DID show my Justrite Curlz font and my Duncan Scribbles Aloha orchid 3D paint some love (it actually had lost the cover...but once peeling back the dry stuff, there was enough liquid in there to create little beads on my die cut flourish....YAYYYY!).

Oh, just a little tip if you're planning a Disney vacation soon....plan to walk.

  The last time I went...I was 14.  I only remember long lines.

Now...

all I can warn is...

YOU WILL WALK.

But, the child in you will be so distracted by fun...that you'll make it. ;)

Girlfriend Rocks!

Remember Mulan?

Mulan ROCKS as far as I am concerned.

I love when a character has CHARACTER, ya know?

It was the first theater movie I took my oldest to.

I wanted her to see a strong princess.

HOW CUTE IS GIRLFRIEND???

My sister bought her for me and sent it ASAP.

SISTER ROCKS TOO. ;)

Miyono (girlfriend) is stamped in Memento ink and colored with Copics.

I fussy cut the paper lanterns from the DP and stamped background elements with PAINT..yes, paint!

There are two peeled back strips that were cut with fringe scissors and knotted up to mimic the sketch.

I had to color the back of those strips with aqua mint to stick with the color scheme.

The card base is scored to mimic the lanterns.

Challenges that inspired this creation:

Stamping with Acrylic Paint

~I stamped Grunge Me with Anita's Dusty Green Acrylic Paint and even swiped some "extra" on the edges.  Originally the sentiment was stamped in paint (but it wasn't legible)...so I swiped paint over it and stamped with ink instead.
