For  our monthly women's prayer and study breakfast this month we started a new series is on wellness. We had a wonderful guest speaker and a great healthy breakfast. I made these fridge magnets as table favors. I want to share a little trick on paper aligning: The cardboard is cut to size and placed in corner of a small scorer with adhesive. I hover the covering paper over the cardboard and just fit it flush into the corner - it lines everything up perfectly! Simple! These are about 5x5. one silver and one gold. And a freebie for you! thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a happy and safe weekend! Ginny M making lining papers up super easy!

      Happy  Word Art Wednesday  Anything Goes Challenge  everyone!  Karen Letchworth has given us a beautiful devotion !  We also have another gorgeous  Bible verse digitized by Karen Murray!  This weeks'  generous sponsor is The Project Bin . This company really makes wonderful stamps for all occasions!  I hope you stop over to the  blog and join in the fun.   This week's verse is Psalm 29:2.  I have found this verse holds a very important key to our Joy being fufilled. Here is my card using a lovely image by Patsy Paterno, used by permission: With this month's cards, I have enjoyed using vintage Hug Snug hem tape and feathers. I mail all my cards so I choose embellishments that are very mailable. I want all of my life to give Glory to the Lord - it truly is due Him! Here is my freebie gift to you: printable  8.5x11 sheet of the scripture. these print out darker than they appear on the screen. Enjoy Thank you for stopping and I hope you make a card and enter in the chall

 Since I am able to spend time at my craft desk again I thought I would play along in WOYWW!  It is a worldwide blog hop of desky tours.  Why?  Well, it is fun and I think we all like to see what we are doing! Join the fun over at Julias Stamping ground, the posts are short and sweet.  Here is my desk as of last night, it has all gone in the mail. The desk Some of the cards made I try to send these to widows and a few single friends Some new stamps to play with on the desk The side desk my workspace is a small combination of three desks and two cabinets - this way I can swivel to my computer, to the desk, to supplies.  I don't keep everything at reach - that way I must get off my chair every so often.  I share my space with my sewing, quilting, embroidery hobby too.  It is a little crowded but I am warm and have good lighting!  I am blessed! And here is a little gift for your paper crafting A nice background image. Thanks for stopping by Ginny M

 I hope you all are having a nice winter weekend.   A fun day here, we set up our new teen Sunday school, at church, went to lunch with a friend, and just enjoying some downtime tonight.   I was able to make two challenge cards for the FB group Christian Card Makers.  I found a great image on the Cricut Site, it is an Acess image and perfect for what I had in mind.  The inspiration was actually a piece of paper in my scrap pile. The challenge was to make two cards and get them mailed These cards are 5.5x6.5  On the inside a favorite verse of mine This Verse was digitized by the talented Karen Murray  It was also featured on the Word Art Wednesday Blog  several years ago. I have it for you to right-click and save This prints out beautifully! Now for my Cricut tip : This image actually had 5 layers, I only used the top three, I just did not need that much detail.   By the time the top layer was cut it was super fine and I was only using a medium grade white core cardstock.  That was almo

 My sweet Nieces' Birthday is in a few days, and I wanted to send her a fun card.  Something cheerful and unique - Just like her!   Last summer I did a big purge in my stamps and designer paper and then moved my stamping room. Seven months later, I  moved it back and reorganized it ( AGAIN).   I know this is very common with paper crafters - perfecting our space and resources.                                                                                  As I was putting paper away I came across a few sheets and my stash of kits and pulled a few things to make April's card.   I'll show you the card and then the process: When I make cards using designer papers, I keep the scraps in a 14x14 covered tote.  When the tote starts to get full I go through it and start putting bits together, I will do enough to make one "card kit".  These are a lot of fun to work with, I will often take them when I am going to a stamping event or friend's house.  These also make a f

      Happy  Word Art Wednesday   and a new Anything Goes Challenge  everyone!   Karen Letchworth has given us a beautiful devotion !  We also have another gorgeous  Bible verse digitized by Karen Murray!  This weeks'  generous sponsor is The Stamps of Life !    And our Guest Designer is the very talented  Esther Ashbury!   hope you stop over to the  blog and join in the fun.   This week I have had the pleasure of putting my craft and sewing room back together,  After a 8 month hiatus due to a big household renovation and what seems like everything we owned being deposited in the craft room, I had to tackle the project and get it done!  3 days later everything seems to be back in place!  And while I was at it I got a deep winter cleaning done.  If we ever move again, It will not be to a house needing renovations!  I am happily crafting in my space with my first project due for the  WAW sample cards. I love doing these cards, there is such a blessing in crafting with the word of God

 Over the weekend we had our Women's breakfast and bible fellowship.  I did a short lesson entitled "What Owns You"  I also made these fridge magnets.  A quick and fun project.  Such a beautiful verse and so important for this strange time we are living in. I am not alarmed, my confidence is in the Almighty God! I've made more of these types of things than I can count and they are always well received - so fun to make! The Stamp I think is an Our Daily Bread design stamp. 12x12 paper and mirror board from my stash. I purchase magnet strips from Amazon. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you too are trusting in the Lord. Ginny M
