Birthday Card
A card I made using Martha Stewart chipboard heart and eyelet paper. The background swirls are stamps made by Autumn Leaves. The cupcakd stamp is made by Hero Arts. Flower is by petaloo. For bling I added a diamond gem brad to center of flower and diamond stickles on the heart. I also chalked the edge of card and added some black ribbon.

Glittered Butterfly Car
A Martha Stewart card kit I bought to make some cards with my mom. There's enough to make eight cards, envelopes included. My mom and I had fun making these together. I also bought a kit to make glitter birds too.

Happy New Year 2009
Now that our Christmas decorations are all put away I've been in the mood to create some Valentine's Day decorations. I made a banner using my new Cricut cartridge called Storybook. I'm also working on getting our garage organzed and I'm planning to paint our down stairs bathroom. I've also been reading commentary on the book of Revelation. That book of the Bible always fascinates me. Yesterday I read about a verse in chapter 3 verse 11 that talks about how God promises to write on the saints His name, the name of His city and His new name. That's amazing to me that God has not finished revealing himself to us. Eternity is going to be amazing.

Basking in the light of His word and light and beauty of spring.
I'm just feeling joyful today. I made a pitcher of sweet tea yesterday and it was just the warm weather was just right to enjoy a refreshing cool drink. Yesterday I was in the mood to clean and organize our indoor space and today I just want to be outdoors and in the sun. We just had a patio addition in our backyard and boy is it calling my name. We still have a ways to go to get our yard in shape for summer but I already dream of the days by the pool. I praise the Lord for giving us the new life in Him and the beauty of new life in the spring to enjoy. Hope everyone has experienced the joy and beauty of having Jesus as your Savior. It's impossible for me to not want to praise the Lord when basking in the light and truth of the Word of God and also the light and warmth of His creation. "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."

Egg Ornament Tutorial
A 3D ornament made from a Jumbo oval punch and patterned paper.
First decide if you want to use three ovals for your ornament or six for a fuller look. Then punch desired number of ovals out of patterned paper Cardstock will also work. An oval template or die cut could also be used for this step.
If you planning to stamp a design on your egg do so before going on to the next step.
Now your ready to fold each oval egg in have vertically. If you are planning on using a small decortive craft punch you'll want to line up two ovals and punch both ovals at the same time. Be careful to chose a punch that will fit in the area outside of the folded line and avoid going into the folded line with the punch. Next glue the folded sides of the ovals together to form the ornament. Punch a hole in the top and tie a ribbon to complete.
Once you've made a few you may want to try another version with the floating disk inside.
