Planted by the waters and a freebie

Over at Word Art Wednesday the is a wonderful verse for you to add to your digital Stash!  Karen Murray has digitized a beautiful verse for everyone in a lovely graceful font:

Karen Letchworth also brings another beautiful devotion in a bible study  that brings it home.  I enjoyed reading her devotion and found it very refreshing.  This is one of my favorite verses.  It was the first one God spoke to me in a Rehema fashion.  I was a new Christian and making big life changing decisions.  I felt The Lord give me a direction to go somewhere that I did not want to go.  I had a whole list of why I should not go and when I poured my heart out to the lord in a way that I said " You can't be serious, It will kill me to do that" I had at least 25 reasons to back up my logic - I felt the Lord tell me to go to this scripture and then to Jeremiah 17:7-8.  I was a brand spankin new Christian, I had to look in the table of contents to find Jeremiah.  So I did what he told me to do, kicking and complaining - but I did it.  
Now I look back and think how rich my life has been and how this word has truly come to pass in my life and how The Lord has made my dreams come true.  Oh my life has not always been easy - far from it, but it has always been blessed and full of His Love!  I am so thankful I made the right decision that day!

Here is my card for word Art Wednesdays Challenge;



I am giving you this digital too, for your card making and paper crafting.

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
