I thank God for Melissa (our designer) and Dee (our coordinator) for understanding. I plan on getting in gear for the next challenge and cannot wait to share the NEW July Images with you!!! They are SUPER cute!!!!

But for today, I'm sharing a new challenge for you going on over at Craft Your Passion Challenges. The theme for Challenge #116 is THINGS with WINGS.

Always on My Mind

Good Monday morning to you!! After a very busy graduation weekend..I am ready to slow down!
I am extemely proud of our youngest child graduating from high school. She is the last to leave the nest for college and will be attending Texas A&M in College Station. Her older brother is a Texas Longhorn, so we will have a Divided House! LOL

Okay, now for our new challenge #113-Chevrons!. The theme for this week was to use the Chevron pattern on your card. My problem...I couldn't find one piece of Chevron anything in my stash! Can you believe that!? So...I googled "free Chevron digital papers" and found some cute tags to print for free! *Link below

Today I'm sharing our new Craft Your Passion challenge with you. Challenge #105 has a fun theme...no square or rectangle cards!

Challenge #102

Happy Monday to you! Hope your weekend was as wonderful as mine. Now that Spring Break is over, it is time to get back to reality! We didn't do much, but I enjoyed having all 3 of my kids home together. Now they are back to college and work.
Today we've got a new challenge for you over at Craft Your Passion Challenges, this is challenge #102 and the them is

"No image...just a sentiment"

I got this image from Paulette of Create with TLC, it is one of my favorite Bible verses. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it when I received it.


I found this frame and Goodwill for $2, I just love all the pretty details in it. I almost painted it after I bought it, I'm so glad I didn't because I really like the gold with the Prima flowers. The stick on pearls were white, so I colored them with a sharpie to give them that gold, vintagy look. The leaves are a Martha Stewart punch.

A Get Well Wish for You

Happy Monday to you!!! I hope your day is going great! Today I've got a new challenge for you!
It's time for Craft Your Passion Challenges #101. I have to admit, the challenge theme really scared me there for a minute. You see, the theme is to make an Easel Card..something I've never done before. But after reading a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers...I found that it was easy and fun! I am so glad this challenge came about because otherwise, I may have never tried this technique! And now I can see myself making many more of these easel cards in the future!
