Faith Hope Love Scripture Challenge #FHL8

Greetings Crafters!!!!  Hope all is going well with each of you... I have been struggling with keeping up with my own challenges, because of all the graduation planning.  Sometimes I just don't have the umph to create something as well, and then I just let my craft table pass on by....  Well, this week, I was able to muster up some energy and created a little something for all of you to play along!!!  Yay!!!  Graduation is less than 2 weeks away, and then I'll be working on graduation dinner stuffs.  But I think I'm pretty on time for all these things... just looking forward to it to come.  And it's gonna come and go before my eyes, very quickly!!  LOL!!

Well, let's announce the winner from the last challenge (#FHL7).  The winner was #5, who was Patsy Paterno of Heartworks Paint Party.  She painted this image, and did an absolutely fantastic job!!!  I love it... here, see for yourself:

Isn't her painting incredible??  Love it... Thanks for playing Patsy!!  Please email me with your mailing address, and I will get a prize mailed out to you.  Here is the badge you can display on your blog:

Now, here is my sample....

The image that I am using is from Saturated Canary (link to shop is on my sidebar),  and I colored it with my Copic Sketch Markers.  The digital scripture was something I created on the computer, and I have it here for you to download and use if you want to... click on it, then right click and save image to your computer.  :)

Angry Birds Goodie Bags - Link to Angry Bird Birthday Digital Pack Freebie!!

Hi Gang!!  Hope that you and your family are having a wonderful day today on this Columbus Day holiday!!  The house is quiet {{at the moment}}...  my littlest is sleeping {{he's got a COLD!!}}, and the oldest is sleeping as well {{he's a teen!!}}.  The hubs went to work today, and me... well, here I am posting to my blog!  :))  I have some fun and easy projects to share with you today!!

My grand-niece's birthday is coming up, and her mama asked me to make some goodie bags for her, with the Angry Bird theme.  I found this FREE Angry Bird Birthday Digital Pack that you can download from Sherry K. Designs.  If you haven't checked out Sherry K. Designs yet, I highly recommend that you do.  Most of her stuffs are FREE and if they aren't free, they are CHEAP!!  So love that she has a variety of things...

Ok, so here's how I created the goodie bags....  

I printed them on white cardstock {{Grace Pacific from WalMart}}:

Cut them all out,with a white bordered edge on each:

Then adhered to white lunch bags {{WalMart - in the paper products department}}.

I then created bag toppers to be stapled to the top of each bag:

Print... these are sized according to the size of the length of the lunch bag.  You should be able to size them to whatever size you want.  I wanted to personalize these toppers, and use less ink, but you will see, if you download the kit she already has bag toppers for you to use, and can still be personalized.

Cut them to size...

Fold right in half...

These are standing here on my table.  But imagine them on the top of each bag.  Sooo cute!!!  

Easy, and used everything I already had on hand!!  Thank U, Jesus!!!
 
Time for coffee, and I need to work on my projects for the upcoming Clearly Digital Stamps release..yeeeeess!!!!  Have a blessed day!!
Aloha! 

Father's Day Red Chevy

I found another freebie car image online to use on another Father's Day card that I created. I colored it up with my Copic Sketch markers, colored in the sky and the ground, and layered it on SU! Real Red cardstock. I also used the sentiment from and old Stampin' Up! set, I can't remember which one, but I believe it is already retired, sorry!! I then used the tag punch to punch out the sentiment, and layered on Real Red cardstock, then cut around it to make it have the same shape as the tag, and to have it layered. Ribbon is Black Organdy. I used a 1/8" punch to punch the hole for the ribbon to go through. Black cardstock is from Walmart, and DSP is Die Cuts with a view. This week's Monday Theme Challenge is "Father's Day/Masculine" so don't forget to submit your work to enter into winning a prize!!! This is a sample for this week's theme!!

Family Tidbit: This pass Monday marked the 1st day of Summer Break for my boys. Our goal is to get this house "tidy" before we start having fun for the Summer. We cleaned out the garage on Monday, and yesterday, my oldest tended to his laundry. My mom spent the day with us yesterday, and bought Cy his 1st "real" bike. He is so happy to have it, and can't wait to ride it every chance that he gets. The oldest now wants a bike as well... we'll have to talk to dad about that. Yesterday, my hubby n' I found out that we recently lost a good friend of his. They were close friends since his childhood years, and was really like a sister to him. It saddens us that she has passed so suddenly, and we were in shock to hear the news. She leaves behind a 5-yr old daughter, and her widowed mother. Please pray that the Lord calms the hearts of her loved ones left behind. And I pray that you are able to take the time to spend with family and friends who are still here. Life is so precious and unpredictable! U can be here 1 minute, and gone the very next!! Know that Jesus Loves U, and that we were created to live an eternal life... Eternal Life in Heaven, or Eternal Life in Hell.... either way, you will live an eternal life somewhere!!! If you do not know WHERE that somewhere is, I encourage you to call out to Jesus, and ask Him to help you to understand and He will show you the way!!!!!

hugs....Jen

Hee hee.... well, when they came out with "Tear Drops", I had already stopped my collection (yes, you may use these as well). Well, if you are like me, these Dew Drops are taking awhile to use up. Haha... so I hope you join in and play along with us in this week's MTC5 challenge:

(It is available in png format so that you can use within a frame, just as I have shown below. Frame does not come with it, as it is part of a digi kit that I cannot share due to their TOU policy).
