Peace...

Happy Sunday, and welcome to another challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ!

Our hostes this week, is Miesje. She has chosen John 14:27, as her scripture: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid".

Miesje's challenge for the week, is to use a Christian symbol of peace, or to make a card or project that shows or shares peace.

Our sponsor this week is Designed 2 Delight Digital Stamps. One lucky challenge participant will receive a $10 gift certificate to shop at Designed 2 Delight!

For my card, I chose Heartfelt Wishes. This is just about the cutest snowfolk ever!

You can find it here!

Supplies: Snowman Image: Designed 2 Delight, Dove Image: There's Magic in the Air, Coloring Medium: Koh-I-Noor Pencils and LOMS, Polar White Flower Soft, Red and Green Stickles

In 1980, the love of my life, my DH received 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns over

nearly 80% of his body when our house burned.

As you can imagine, this was a very intense situation for us all.

We were told to expect the worst - he would probably not survive, and should he live,

he would be horribly disfigured.

This week's verse is special to me, as it helped to carry me through the days of his healing. There were the skin graft operations, the emotional strain, and once we got him home, the daily wound debridment, all while I was several months pregnant. Many years later, this same verse continues to carry me through difficult times in my life - the two military deployments of DS, watching DD struggle through, and triumph over an abusive marriage, then move away to Asia for over a year, the loss of our parents and grandparents, etc. The glorious peace of the Lord, and the peace that this verse has given me over the years has kept me calm and sane for my family.

I wish for all of you peace in this new week!

Smiles and blessings,

An Eggs-traordinary Find...

Good morning!

Well, this is my very last post for Nina at There's Magic in the Air. It's been an incredibly fun adventure, and Nina is a wonderful, positive, talented 'boss'. I will miss my DT sistah's as well, but it's time to let someone new fill this spot! And girls, I promise to play the challenges as often as I can!

For those of you that have participated in the last two challenges, and are reading this post, please forgive me for not getting to your blogs to comment. I actually timed one blog comment that I made last week and it came in at 47 minutes. Obviously, I can't retain my sanity at that speed!

Thanks to Shirley for allowing me to use her computer to print this weeks image!!! You are the best!!! And thanks Nina, for being SO understanding and sweet the last couple of weeks!

Today's challenge at There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes comes from Sue Walsh. Sue wants us to use this week's image, "Eggs-traordinary Find" and create a paper basket. She has included several sites to visit that include directions for adorable baskets. However, as you know, my computer won't really allow that, so here is what I did - easy peasy!

I cut two strips of orchid CS that measured 4" x 12". I scored these both at 4" and 8". I used the wide trellis punch from Martha Stewart on all four ends. I punched two holes at the top and two at the bottom on each side. I then laid one strip on top of the other, forming a plus sign. Fold the edges up, run a ribbon through the holes, and voila! Easy peasy!

All coloring is done with Koh-I-Noor pencils and LOMS. White polar Flower Soft was added to bunny for some fluff!!!

Hope this gives you a smile today! Don't laugh at my empty eggs! If I fill them too soon, guess who will eat the props??? Yup - ME!

I do have some good news! We received an e-mail, saying that our new computer will be delievered TODAY!!!!!!! My guess is that it will take a week or so (with DH's travel schedule) to get the data transferred from one computer to the other, but hopefully, by this time next week, things will be looking much brighter! Yippee!!!

Have a great week!

Patti J.

1, 2, 3 Create...

Hello Everyone!

I'm at least 'funcional' for a while. DD had an old IBM that she told me to try using while my machine is ka-put. It gets very hot very quick, so this will probably be very short.

It's another Magical Monday at There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes!

Olga Jewell is our hostess this week. She challenges us to: 1, 2, 3, Create! We are to use:

1 Acquired Paper Cupcakes Image, 2 Ribbons, and 3 buttons on our projects.

Since I couldn't participate last week, I used the image from last week's challenge, AND I used Kim's challenge of a non-traditional card, AND Olga's challenge for this week!

I was looking at the Scrap and Stamp Arts magazine last week, and saw this concept for a card. You cut about 2 5/8" of your card front to the fold line. The top half is then glued to the card back, and the bottom half swings open and shut. I thought it was a cute idea!





All coloring is done with colored pencils and LOMS. The DP is TAC's "More Mimi".

I apologize for the quality of the photos - the color is just awful on this screen, so I can't tell what it really looks like!

Hope all is well, and that you have a good weekend!!! Thanks for stopping by, and for being so patient with my down time! It will be at least a week before I have a machine again. We ordered DH a new laptop, and I'm to get his old one when the new one comes in.

Hugs to all!

Pot of Gold...

With St. Patty's Day quickly approaching, our challenge at There's Magic in the Air this week uses Nina's adorable "Pot of Gold" image.

(Just a reminder - Nina recently added about 25 brand new images to her store, Paper Cupcakes. If you haven't been there to shop lately, you should check them out!)

When you drop by at There's Magic in the Air today to pick up your free image, be sure to wish our Nina a Happy Birthday! She tried to keep it a secret, but that didn't work! Nina, if you are reading, Happy Birthday, dear friend!

Danielle Lord, our hostess this week, asks us to "use the colors green and gold on the products outside of the image, with the added bonus of using metal somewhere on our creations (brad, charm, etc.)

As you can see, I've added a brad to the center of my flower.

As for the green and gold, my CS is green, my ribbon is green, and my tag is matted with beautiful shiny gold CS!

It's a little hard to read the computer generated sentiment. It reads:

May your blessings outnumber

The shamrocks that grow,

And may trouble avoid you

Wherever you go.

~Irish Blessing

I thought of all of you when I used this sentiment!

I saw this stand up card featured on Beate Johns' blog a while back, and just had to try it! If you've never visited Beate's blog, it is a 'must do'! She features the nicest video tutorials. Beate explains things so nicely that even I can do them!!!

Hope that you like this - it was fun to do, and you can find the tutorial on Beate's blog, or in the resources section at Split Coast Stampers.

Hurry over to get your free image and play in this week's challenge! You could win this:

I may be a bit scarce this week. DH injured his knee last Thursday, and we have an appt. with a specialist tomorrow, and our new kitchen countertops are coming on Tuesday afternoon, so I will have a lot of work to do in the kitchen on Tuesday morning! Afterwards, there will be tons of damage control (clean up, etc....)!

Have a Magical Monday, and a great week!

See you asap!

Patti J.

Monday's get here SO fast!

Can you believe it's another Monday? Seems like Saturday NEVER gets here, and it seems like it's Monday all the time! lol....



Well, at least we have a little Magic to look forward to on Mondays!



Welcome to another Magical Monday at There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes!



Our challenge is brought to us today by our very talented hostess, Patti Nelson. Patti has given us a sketch to use with any of Nina May's images that we have acquired already. This sketch can be stretched, rotated, flipped, etc., as long as the original sketch can still be seen.




As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew I had to use the "Beached Boat" image. It was perfect for the oval in the sketch! The DP is from my stash, and as usual, I've colored with Koh-I-Noor pencils and LOMS.



I hope that you will head over to TMITA/PCC and grab the sketch! Create your card using any of Nina's images that you have on hand, and hurry back over to enter it in the challenge! You could win something fun!

Have a great week - hope it's Magical!

Lucky Bear seems to be distressed....

Hello everyone, and Happy Monday!

It is Nilla's week as challenge hostess at There's Magic in the Air. The challenge uses Nina's adorable image "Lucky Bear". Nilla asks that we use any technique for distressing, roughing up your paper with your scissors, distressing with inks, sanding, scraping, pounding (would work well if you are mad at someone) - any technique that you consider a method of distressing.

I chose to rough up my edges just a bit, and mostly distress with ink. I printed out Lucky Bear four times so that I could pop him up a bit, and gain some extra four leaf clover balloons! I need all the luck I can get - lol...




All coloring is done with Koh-I-Noor pencils, and the distressing is done with Color Box Chalk Ink, Chestnut Roan. The sentiment is hand written.



I hope that you like Lucky - he is definitely one of my favorites! Nina has just posted about 25 new images - be sure to run over to her store, Paper Cupcakes, and check out the new goodies! You won't be disappointed!

We have been SO busy this weekend! We decided last weekend that we really needed some new family room furniture. We were nearly sitting on the floor, our sofa was so dilapidated! So, we drove into the city, found some that we liked, but just couldn't make ourselves pay for it. We came home, sat on the old stuff again, and decided to look locally. Voila! The same Lazy Boy sofa and chairs were in the showroom about 5 minutes from home. So...we ordered a new sofa with dual recliners, a fabric recliner chair to match, and a leather recliner chair to match. These are to be delivered Tues. morning. Well, Thursday afternoon, DH calls, and says - go buy carpeting. No sense putting new furniture down on old rugs. Well, I never dreamed that the carpet could be measured for and put down by Monday, but guess what, it can!!! So then, he says, well, before we put new carpeting down, don't you think we (you) should paint the woodwork? Then, walking across the old flooring revealed some squeaks, so we ended up pulling up all the old carpeting ourselves so we could screw the dickens out of the floor boards and kill the squeaks! Anyway, point is, this girl has had NO - NADA - ZERO - ZILCH time in her girl cave!

Oh, and did I mention that while we were at Lowe's buying drywall screws, we picked out new tile and paint for the kitchen? And that when I start that job, all 47 drawers and doors, and bases will all have to be sanded and repainted? Sigh.... oh, well...it will be SO worth it when it's finished! We've made very few changes in the past 20 some odd years, and it's time! At our ages, this will probably be our last big remodel that we do ourselves, so it's actually a lot of fun!

Gotta get back to it!



Have a great week, and forgive me for not doing much blog hopping this week!



Big hugs - Patti J.

A Fancy Surprise...

Happy Magical Monday!

I didn't get to use Nina's "Fancy Surprise" image when she released it at the time of our blog hop, so this week was just perfect for it.

Selma was our challenge hostess this week. We could choose any image that we desired, but with a couple of twists! We were to use at least one circle and lace! How much fun! I had this funky lace trim that I've been wanting to use on something, so that's what I did! You can't tell from the photo, but the icing, and ribbon are both shined up with some Glossy Accents! Due to some issues here at home, I had to work this up very quickly. I'm not crazy about it, but as some of you have said, "If all our cards were perfect, we couldn't call them challenges"! Hope you like it.

For this week's challenge, you can choose an image from TMITA/PCC that you already have, or you can grab what Nina has posted. Be sure to use some lace and at least one circle on your card. Come back to TMITA and link up your card with Mr. Linky for a chance to win this:

I can't wait to see what you create! Have a great week!

Magical Monday in Flight...

Flight of the Fuschia, that is!

Welcome to another Magical Monday at There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes. Today's image is Nina's beautiful "Flight of the Fuschia".

This week, it was my turn to present the challenge. My challenge you is to grab this wonderful image, and create a comforting card, such as: Thinking of You, Get Well, Sympathy, Encouragement, etc. I also offer a little twist - if you have them, include flourishes and/or pearls on your card!

It's very hard to see, but I have used Versmark Dazzle and stamped a flourish at the top right and bottom left of my card. The pearls are pretty obvious! All coloring is done with Tombow markers, and the bird is colored with my clear Sakura Gelly Roll glitter pen. The flourish stamp is from TAC, and the sentiment is from Gina K. Designs. The DP is from a DCWV mat stack.

And thanks to my DT sistah, Kim, I am being inspired to finish the inside of my cards as well!!!

Voila...

It was very ironic to me when the image Nina gave me for this challenge was this beautiful dove carrying the Fuschia sprig. I cannot remember a time that my dear mom wasn't growing these lovely plants. She loved them with a passion. When mom passed away in Dec. 1999, the Hospice group brought me a gorgeous china figurine that was doves and fuschia plants. It still sits front and center on our fireplace mantle. This time of year is when I miss mom the most. We have all of the fall and winter holidays, and then her birthday was Jan. 18. The day that I opened my email from Nina with this attachment, I'd actually been having a quiet cry while thinking of mom - thus the irony! Thanks Nina, for unknowingly bringing me some peace that day!





Okay, enough of that!!! I hope that your Monday is magical, indeed! With good luck, we will NOT get the additional 5-7" of snow predicted for Mon. and Tues!

Have a great day! Can't wait to see what you all do with the Flight of the Fuschia!!!

I Heart You!

Can you believe that it is already February? Seems like we were all just taking a short breather to be with our families for Christmas, and here we are - coloring hearts!

Welcome to another Magical Monday at There's Magic in the Air. Today, I bring you Nina's beautiful image, "I Heart You".

It is Sue's week to present the challenge!

Sue wants to see us use this image in a Valentine gift tag, and include some stitching somewhere on it. Our stitching can be with real thread, or can be hand drawn.

You'll note that mine is definitely hand drawn (thanks Sue!)!

* * * * *

I filled an old Frappucino bottle with some Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles (mmmm.....), decorated it with some DP, Pearls, and Ribbon, and hung my tag from the bottle neck. I also made a coordinating gift card.

All coloring was done with Koh-I-Noor Pencils and loms. Sponging was done with Tim Holtz Distressing Ink (Antique Linen).

Be sure to hurry over to TMITA to pick up YOUR free image! Create something fun with it, enter it in the weekly challenge, and you could win the prize pictured there! When you are finished there, run over to Nina's store and check out her wonderful images!

Thank you all for stopping by! I hope to be back in a regular routine soon!

Other challenges I am entering this project in:

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Saturday!

Well, we have some snow on the ground! I'm thinkin' the drifts are maybe over a foot. The Weather Reports say that Farmington had 4-7" in actual accumulation. The sun came out today and melted quite a bit of the top layer, so now we have our fingers crossed that this won't turn to ice after dark! Hope that where you are is warm and dry!

I have a couple of cards today - the first one is for the House Mouse Challenge #61. The challenge was to create a faux grid. I created my grid using the Scor-Pal, after coloring my image. I then applied a couple of layers of clear embossing powder. Hope you like it!

The next card is for the Cuttlebug Spot challenge. The challenge for this week was to use silver and black. Here is my card for the challenge - hope you like it!

I had a tough time with the pictures today - cards look all crooked and misshapen - sorry! Couldn't fix the glare on the mouse card - sheesh! Some days are just like that, YOU know what I mean, I know you do!!! Hoping that DD will have time soon to give me some lessons with my camera!

Well, have a blessed Sunday, and if I don't see you before, I'll be back for a Magical Monday! Here is a sneak peek of my Monday project!

Think Love...

Hello friends!

Can you believe the weekend is over, and it is already Monday? Sheesh!

Well, at least it's Magical Monday!

Today's challenge at There's Magic In the Air with Paper Cupcakes comes from Kim!

The image this week is Think Love, and Kim's challenge is to use this wonderful image on a box, bag, or holder of some sort. How much fun is that!

I happened to have just acquired a box of Petaloo flowers that came in this delightful RED box, complete with drawer! I simply popped out the enclosed window, and added Nina's darling artwork, and of course some chocolate, and voila!

I printed the image and colored it once, then shrunk it down a bit, reversed it, and colored it again. I popped up the second image with dimensional dots.

Hopefully, it looks like the love of mother and child!

All coloring is done with Koh-I-Noor Pencils and low odor mineral spirits.

Thanks for stopping by - I hope that you like my little creation!

Be sure to run over to Nina's blog and snag this image! Once you do, be sure to play along? The randomly picked challenge winner will receive a free Nina May image. I can't wait to see what you create with Nina's beautiful image, and Kim's challenge!

I also want to take a minute to apologize. I have been literally buried in tax paperwork, and have had very little time to get around to your blogs to see what's going on in your world!

Hopefully, the next few days will finish some stacks of paperwork, and allow some time once

again for 'play'!!! Forgive me - I will come to see you soon!

Patti J.

Tons of Love...

Can you believe that the weekend has come and gone so quickly? Many of you are off work/school tomorrow due to Martin Luther King Day. Hopefully the extra day will give you a chance to reflect on the holiday, and to rest up a bit more!

It is also Magical Monday at There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes!

Our challenge this week comes from Olga Jewell. Olga is so much fun! Her challenge is to use Nina's free digital image for the week, Ton's of Love, and to add some RBS's to it! She is challenging you to use Red Ribbon, Buttons, and Glitter, OR something that Sparkles!

What a joy this image was to work with! I tried three times to give this darling elephant a real fabric skirt, and three times, I had to re-color and start over, SO.... she has lots of sparkles on her skirt instead! (Pink sparkles, Kim!!!) Having just finished reading Water for Elephants, this pretty elephant made me think of Rosie from the book, and Rosie wore pink sequins!

Today would have been my mother's 77th birthday, and she would have loved the bling on this card! Happy Birthday mom!

Here's a shot with sparkles on her skirt!

Another shot with Red Ribbon, and Buttons!

Hurry over to There's Magic in the Air, and pick up your free image! Create something fun, and enter it in the weekly challenge - you could win something totally cool! While you are on your computers today, be sure to check out Nina's Store - Paper Cupcakes! She has just posted 27 (TWENTY-SEVEN!!!) new images! You won't be disappointed!

Have a wonderful Monday! Can't wait to see what you create!

I promise to try harder to post a bit more this week! We've been laying a new floor in our sunporch (it's nearly half finished!), and getting started on taxes, so I've been a bit busy.

Hugs!

Meet Miss Kitty...

Meet Miss Kitty!

Miss Kitty is Nina's free image at There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes this week! Is she not just the cutest little kitty? Talk about fun to color!

Every Magical Monday at TMITA/PCC, Nina posts a free digital image. Please hurry right over and grab your image! We'd love to see you enter this week's challenge, hosted by Danielle Lord, which is to use Nina's Miss Kitty image, but to also incorporate stripes on your project. How much fun is that!

Here is what I did! Note to Kim and Sam - Look at BOTH pictures! I really DID finish the inside of my card!

All coloring was done with Koh-I-Noor Pencils and mineral spirits for blending. I printed the image once, colored it, printed it again so that Miss Kitty's head could be popped out with dimensional dots, and then printed it once again, to pop up the bow and the heart on her dress.

Hope that you like it! Be sure to go to the Paper Cupcakes Store and see all of Nina's wonderful images!

Have a wonderful Magical Monday!

Magical Monday - Painted Pony

It's another Magical Monday at There's Magic in the Air!

Before I go any further, though, I have to share my exciting news with you!

Leigh Ann, DT member at TMITA is going through a very sudden 'move'. Due to this move, she has had to step down from her DT position. We are all sad to see her go, wish her the best,

and hopefully, she'll get to return in the future.

In the meantime, as you know, I've been serving as Guest Designer for December, and Nina has asked me to step in for the remainder of Leigh Ann's DT time. So....I cannot say that I will be filling Leigh Ann's shoes, as that's impossible, but I will be on the Design Team at TMITA through March! I am SO excited! Hope to see all of you participating in the weekly challenges!!! Pinch me!

Now...back to business...

This week's free image at There's Magic in the Air is Nina's adorable "Painted Pony".

It's Patti's week to issue the challenge, and she's challenged us all to use these colors on our cards/projects.

You do not have to use Stampin' Up colors - just come as close as you can!

* * *

I didn't have these colors, so I just used my Tombow Markers and matched up as well as I could. These colors are pretty easy to substitute!

I hope you like this darling image as much as I did! It was SO much fun to color!

* * *

Run over to TMITA, get YOUR free image, and enter it into the Magical Monday contest! You could be the next winner!

I hope you like it! It's going in the mail to one of you - watch your mailboxes!!!

Have a great day! Happy Stamping!

Magical Monday #4

Before I get started, the above photo shows what we drove home in after taking DS to the airport this a.m.... the good news is that we only had to drive in it about 45-50 min. before it was clear!

***

Well friends, it's the fourth 'Magical Monday' for me! I have enjoyed my time with There's Magic in the Air, as a Guest Designer for the month of December!

***

I can't believe December is over, Christmas has come and gone, the kids have left, and it's just DH, Ddog, and me, again....

Oh my, how quiet this house seems. DS has returned to California, and we probably won't see him again for quite some time. DD has returned to her place, and is leaving this week for a snowboarding trip to Colorado with a friend. It will be a very quiet week!

Georgia commented on Sunday about how she gets sad when her kids leave. Our kids are 34 and 28, and I still cry when they leave, and mope for days afterwards.

I am such a 'goodbye weenie'!!! Thank goodness for all of you!

This week at TMITA, we were asked to go into Nina' store, Paper Cupcakes, and choose an image to create with. (How much fun is THAT?!?)

Well...I saw this little water image, and immediately thought of a Valentine's aquarium!

What a perfect image for a shadowbox card!

Hope you like it!!!

It's colored with colored pencils, and I've used Glossy Accents to create the shiny look on the water and greenery. The bubbles are Rain Dots. The sentiment is a retired stamp from The Angel Company.

***

Hope that your Christmas was full of the blessings of the seasons, and that your new week will be, as well. (Stef, am thinking of you and DH!!!)

Have a wonderful Magical Monday! Be sure to run over to There's Magic in the Air, grab your own FREE image, and create something wonderful to enter in the weekly contest!

Third Magical Monday!

This card is for my third Magical Monday for Nina at "There's Magic in the Air".

Meet Merry Moose! He was SO much fun to color!

(Be sure to run over to TMITA and pick up your own FREE digi image of Merry Moose!)

Every Monday morning, Nina posts a new digi image on the TMITA blog for you to create with. You can then enter your creation in a weekly contest to win prizes!

DT member, Danielle, issued a sketch challenge for this week! Here is Danielle's awesome sketch, followed by my card!

I actually (almost) stayed true to the sketch, even using stars where Danielle had stars! However, this is an A2 card, not a square card!

Hope you like it - isn't he the most adorable Moose???

***

Don't leave yet!!! I had so much fun with Merry Moose, that I made an easel card as well.

All DP for both cards were from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses that my friend Shirley brought me last week!!! (Don't you just LOVE wonderful friends???)

Here is my easel card. I took a side shot so that you could see all of the layers are different heights. The two outside trees are adhered flat to the card. The inside tree is raised up with one set of dimensional dots, and Merry Moose is raised up with two sets.

Hope you like this one too!

Nina's store is open! Be sure to stop by and check out ALL of her amazing images! Just click on the link below to begin shopping for your own collection!

My Second Magical Monday!

Today is my second Monday as Guest Designer for Nina at "There's Magic in the Air".

Our challenge this week, from Selma, was to use Nina's beautiful Christmas Arrangement image, and to Glitz it Up, using glitter or stickles on our projects. As it is mid-December, and I am in the midst of decorating for the holidays, I chose to add some lights to a clear glass block, and decorate it with Nina's beautiful image.

The image was colored with colored pencils and low odor mineral spirits, and embellished with Sakura Glitter Pens, Stickles, and some pretty gold ribbon that I found at JoAnn's a few weeks ago. The background paper is from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses Collection.

Hope you like it!!!

Head on over to TMITA to get your own FREE image - we'd love to see you enter this week's challenge!

Be sure to check out Nina's new store! It's open, and it's fabulous! Click on the link below to see her wonderful images!

Have a great week!

I'll be back tomorrow with your winner of last week's project!

There's Magic in the Air!

I am so excited to be the December Guest Designer for Nina at "There's Magic in the Air"! What a blessing to be here working with such a talented group of people! I am spending a lot of time pinching myself!

For my first project, I am using Nina's adorable "Sweet Trouble" image. We were all given a photo of Kim's sweet little pup, Malie, for inspiration. Kim's challenge for us was to make a clean and simple card, using no brads, buttons, bows, or anything else that might make it challenging to mail. Of course, a color requirement of PINK must appear on our card as well!

I paper pieced Sweet Trouble's body, clothing, and the candy cane holder with scraps from my stash. The ribbon, bow, candy canes, and dots on the scalloped edge were colored with a red Sharpie. Glossy Accents finished the candy canes, bow, and ribbon. I used some white Fun Flock for the fur on this cute little guys hat, and for the snow. The sponging was done with TAC's Ballet Blue.

Be sure to go to "There's Magic in the Air" to get this FREE and adorable image for your own! Create your project using this image, and enter it in Nina's weekly challenge. You could be the lucky winner! I can't wait to see YOUR creation! Before you leave, click on the link on my sidebar to check out the upcoming Blog Hop at "There's Magic in the Air", as well!

Thanks for stopping by - have a great day!
