She's baaaack!!

I am super happy with how these 
cards turned out!  My muse was
working overtime this morning.  
(I hope she helps with the house
cleaning as well.)
I was lying in bed this morning-
which is when a lot of my best
ideas come-and I decided
to make another mustard seed
card.  I have made a few of these
in the past and always love how
they look and the verse that
goes along with that tiny little
seed.  And yes, that is an actual
mustard seed in the dome!
The mountain is printed on vellum
paper which I think makes
it look a little ethereal .  Exactly
what I was going for.





This one I  also thought of this morning
and though I didn't know exactly how
to put what was in my  mind
onto a card, it just kind of flowed as I
made it!  I love it when cards
come together so easily.

I bought the paper a few weeks ago, as well
as the gold card stock.  I think it lends a
real elegance to the card.  I don't know why
all of a sudden this thing won't let me center...
Anyway, yet another from the same set
I've been using recently.  There are quite
a few so I will probably be using more
of them.  I have so many stamps that
just sit around and I forget about them
because I have my favourites.  I just
found another set earlier while I was looking
for something else.



Today is cleaning day as I cannot
find my desk.  I tend to have quite
a few projects going at the same
time and then I get involved in another,
and another, and well, pretty soon
I can't find the desk.  It's hard to
create without a surface to do it on. 
I also tend to generate tiny bits of
paper all over the floor.  Yesterday
I vacuumed and then decided
to die cut something with tiny
bits.  Yep, now the floor needs
to be done again.  I'll probably be
out of ideas for the rest of the
week anyway!!

  1. pretty cards. I'm forever trying to find my desk. I understand! Lately I have been very good at cleaning up the desk after each project. Lets see how long that lasts! The floor always has bits and pieces. Those little adhesive dots get stuck to the cat and get dragged around the house:)

  2. I have a hard time Finding any surface in this house some days with all these boys! I have so much that I have to go through, that it gets lost in the catch all we refer to as our bedroom! I have a craft desk but I need serious organization to get the plastic canvas, paper stock for diy, stickers, gel pens, and then all the odds and ends I keep for teaching Wyatt. Since we pulled him out of Kindergarten, I get a homeschooling curriculum for us to do at HIS pace. With that I print out all kinds of worksheets, lessons, stories and projects to donwith him. Now that I am working at his pace, it is crazy! He is reading sentences already and sounding out big words. We use ABC Mouse too and he is WAY ahead of where his classmates, who are still in school are as far as learning. He is like a spounge! I love watching him learn! If I could afford it, I would do homeschool so fast!!!

  4. Karen, I TRY to clean after each project, but then I start another before the first is finished, LOL. I'm sure you can relate!! Heather, do you know your posts come twice? Not sure why. You did not tell me you pulled Wyatt out of school....

great design, not so great colour!

This card didn't come out like I hoped. I don't like the colour of the card stock. But it's still a great design. ...
