"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." ~ Isaiah 55: 8-11

HELLO FRIEND / RS #65...



Happy Saturday! Just popping in really quick to upload today's new RetroSketch card! I used the sets Bird Brain (LOVE it!) for this little card. The sentiment was made from the sets Doodle Frames and Monster Madness.

  

Here's the sketch...


We are off to the lake for a little fishing and boat rides!

Have a great weekend!

DIY Paper Bow Tutorial...

ahg052513_bow1

Happy Saturday! Arielle here with a quick tutorial for a customized paper bow! They are super easy and inexpensive to make. So grab some supplies and give it a try! What you’ll need…
  • Digital paper - I used Deena Rutter’s  Uncharted Papers
  • Scissors, craft knife, and/or a paper timmer
  • Adhesive & dimensionals or pop dots
Instructions:
 1)   Set up your file and print your paper. I printed mine double sided and trimmed it to 2.5" x 3".
 2)   Cut paper into .25" x 2.5" strips.
 3)   You'll need 9 strips for a small bow (12 for a larger bow).

 4)   Trim .75" off 4 of the strips, and trim one strip to 1".
 5)   Loop the paper and secure the ends with adhesive. (see photo below)
 6)   Secure the 4 larger loops together, and the four shorter together, and the 1" strip together with adhesive.   (see photo below)

 7)   Stack the looped sets and secure with adhesive as seen in the photo below. And voilà! You're done! Of course you can use thicker or thinner strips, add another layer of loopies, or adhere the loops closer together to alter the look of your bow! They are cheap, easy and fun - so play around with different variations!

THINKING OF YOU / ADFD New Release...


Tammy has a gorgeous new release today over at A Day For Daisies called Fairy Ring Fairies, isn't it gorgeous? I just love the toadstools and fairies, and for this card I actually combined 2 of the images, Vintage Fairy Ring 4 and one from Fairy Ring Mushrooms Collection, so that it would appear the fairy was sitting on the toadstool. The wrinkle ribbon was lovingly handmade by Sherry! I love her wrinkle ribbon!!!


Bye for now,

FOR YOU / D Rutter New Release...


Hey there! I have a little hybrid project today using Deena Rutter's new release, Uncharted over at Pixels and Company! I love the striped paper - it reminds me of candy - LOL! The box is a die from Lifestyle Crafts - how cute is that?!? I made to bow myself, I'm sure most people know how to make one, but if not - come by tomorrow for a tutorial!



Love & hugs,

LOVE YOU / P&Co New Release...


Here's a quick page for today's new release over at Pixels and Company. The kit is by Gennifer Bursett, Love You, and the template is the May Challenge Freebie Template. There's an annual art festival in town every year, and this year we went with my mom. This pic was taken while we were on a "train ride". Both the kids wanted to sit with their Nana.


This kit coordinates with a freebie kit that you can find here.


Love & hugs,

HELLO / DS #102 & PDC #183...



Oh goodness, it's Thursday already and I am running behind! My days are mixed up in my brain for some reason... and we have a new Deconstructed Sketch today! And it's super fun!!! I paired it up with the new Play Date colors which are nice and spring~y to make my little card. I used the set Delicate Doilies to make a row of sunflowers, the leaves and stalks are from Bird Brain and the sentiment from Doodle Frames.
