It is Word Art Wednesday, a little late, with a prize from this week's Sponsor Doodle Bug Stamps

 Good Morning. Time again for the Word Art Wednesday Family-Friendly Challenge.  We have our fresh Manna by Karen Letchworth to help us in our Christian way, a beautiful verse in Calligraphy by Karen Murray from Colossians 3:12, and a $25 gift drawing from Doodlebugs Stamps! 

I am thankful for a sweet devotion, another bible verse to add to our treasure chest of verses, and a prize; how awesome is that!  I hope you will take the time to make a card, enter it on the blog Word Art Wednesday, and, most importantly, send it to someone to brighten and bless their day!

He is my card for this first challenge of the summer:

I know I've made at least a couple hundred of these paper dress cards, they are really fun to make up a batch and use them as needed.  I use 6x6 paper pads to make the dresses; with all the different patterned papers that are out there, you can really make beautiful dresses!

The real star of the card, however, is the bible verse and the life-directing message.

The flowers are from an Anna Griffin kit - I love using this outside of a kit structure.

I hope you are off to a great start this summer. Try to take a few minutes, make a card, and enter the drawing at Word Art Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by!

Maxam Sewing Studio

  As my full retirement approaches ( next June), I will start up Maxam Sewing again.  Things will be a little different here in New York.  In CT, MA, and TX, there was an abundance of sewing contract work available, but there is just about nothing here in NY. I made a lot of masks during COVID-19, but after that, I had no subcontract sewing.   I plan to offer full-service alterations, upcycling, embroidery stitch kits, and my old standby sewing machine sales. I'll do that until Steve retires or the Lord comes!

One of the first things I am excited to offer is the  Stitch Kit,  Asian Song: Lots of fun goodies!  You can find it here on FaceBook.

I have a new embellishing machine for my upcycles. It is so much fun!

  I have waited for one of these to come my way at an affordable price for almost a decade! It didn't disappoint.  I am still at the bottom of the learning curve, but I will master it!! 

My machines are set up and ready to stitch!

An exciting time for me.

Word Art Wednesday With a New Challenge # 651 & 652 & Pink&Main Prize & Freebie!

 Good Morning. Time again for the Word Art Wednesday Family-Friendly Challenge.  We have our fresh Manna by Karen Letchworth to help us in our Christian way, a beautiful verse in Calligraphy by Karen Murray from Psalm 128:3-4, and a $20 gift drawing from Pink & Main! 

Good Word, another bible verse to add to our treasure chest of verses, and a prize; how awesome is that!  I hope you will take the time to make a card, enter it on the blog Word Art Wednesday, and, most importantly, send it to someone to brighten and bless their day!

For this Challenge, we have a beautiful verse for Father's Day; I used the verse for a Father's Day card for one of the fathers in our family, but I am not sure which one yet.  Here it is:

             The greens are of the olive plant; I was looking for Clean, Simple, and Masculine.

I used Strathmore 120# Felt finish paper for printing and a base to give the card texture and a good hand feel.  Aside from the card specs, what a beautiful verse for Father's Day!

I have done the digital work as a freebie if you would like:

Verse alone, right click and save

Olive Branch:

The black will not be there when you create your card.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you join in the new challenge at Word Art Wednesday!
