Life...

HappyScrappers is cancelled this Saturday. Only three people RSVPed in the affirmative.

Also, please pray for Brian's grandmother. Her name is Thelma Carlson. Put her on any prayer chain that you have at your church. She is in City Hospital with extensive blood clots in both of her lungs. For those of you that come to HappyScrappers, Thelma is Carolyn's mother and Shannon and Brian's grandmother.

Home and Happiness

I spent a long weekend with my family and took the day off today to rest up. It's back to school for me tomorrow. I had a great visit. I might make some cards or pages tonight. Does anyone still read this blog? LOL

Tuesday Tunes 1

This scrapbook page was inspired by the lyrics to the song, "I'll Fly Away." It is my favorite hymn. This 8x8 page is going in my faith book.

The lyrics are:

I’ll Fly Away

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,

I'll fly away;

To a home on God's celestial shore,

I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

[Chorus]

I'll fly away, Oh Glory

I'll fly away; (in the morning)

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,

I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

When the shadows of this life have gone,I'll fly away;

Like a bird from prison bars has flown,I'll fly away

(I'll fly away)

[Chorus]
Just a few more weary days and then,

I'll fly away;

To a land where joy shall never end,

I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

[Chorus]

Missions Monday

Sorry for the very blurry picture.

I hope to send this card to a missionary in Haiti. Our church supports a missionary in Haiti who has made the following requests for prayer:

Pray against demonic activity and witchcraft in Haiti, pray for an ample food supply to allow the missionaries to fulfill their commitment to feed the hungry, and pray for spirtual growth in the gospel preaching churches in Haiti.

Card Supplies: Stampin' Up Cardstock and Ink, Riveting Stamp Set (SU), Ranger Stickles, Misc. DP Scraps, Corner Rounder, Circle Punch

Sweet Friends Card

Using only cardstock that I had in my scrap basket, and the inspiration from SplitCoastStampers Limited Supply Challenge, I whipped up this card this morning before I went to church. I used an Apricot stamp from my Strawberry Shortcake stamp set. Other supplies include: Dew drops, Cuttlebug Folder, SU markers, pop dots, alphabet stamps, circle punch, ric rac, and a Scenic Route rub-on.

Homesick

Jami and I trying to "look like we have some sense" as my mother put it.
Jami and I looking like "we don't have any sense" - again my mother's words.
One of my favorite photos of all time - my brother, Tim and My Aunt Irene, smiling.
My mother and I
Me with Dad

I've been feeling really homesick lately. I miss my mom, dad, brother, and sister. These are some photos I took at Christmas time and the week of Grandma's passing, my two most recent trips home. I've found myself looking at these photos a lot and I hope to order prints of them today so I can make some sentimental scrapbook pages.

Faith Card

For this card, I didn't use any rubber stamps (gasp!). Instead, I used a Creative Memories vellum quote. I'm not a huge CM fan, but I do love their vellum because it's very high quality, yet affordable. They have a packet of faith based quotes that I purchased for cardmaking and scrapbooking. The vellum quote says, "Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible. " How true, how true. All of the cardstock and the ink I used around the edges is Stampin Up! I cuttlebugged the white piece. The ribbon and felt flowers are from Offray. I also used Stickles and Dew Drops.
