So let’s jump right in.  Here is the card I created.


I am having so much fun with these stamp sets.   Egg Party is a fun and basic egg stamp that I used to create the designs on the eggs.  The faces are added from the Eggmoji's stamp set.  I love the different "characters" you can make.  This stamp set is also great for creating "emoji" faces.

I had so much fun creating the card, I decided to make it my heading for my Journey Days Clipboard calendar for April as well.  Here it is:


The clipboard stands up on it's chipboard stand also.

I love how each of the projects turned out.  I can't wait to go and make more little eggs!

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Eggmoji's, Egg Party, Eggspressions
Paper:  Pool Play Cardstock, Black Licorice Cardstock, Whip Cream Cardstock
Ink: Beach Breeze, Beach Ball, Black Licorice
Dies:  Egg Party (Bloom Benefit DI-0286)
Accessories: Beach Breeze Thread

Faith Friday 2/10/17

Welcome to my blog and Faith Friday.
Today I want to share a page from my Bible I created after hearing a great sermon this past Sunday.
We are all familiar with the story of Noah's Ark.  God wiped out all of creation except for those on the ark.  But, have you ever really stopped to think about the story and how God was feeling at the time.  Lots of things have been swimming around in my head since I re-read and heard another sermon on this story this past Sunday.
The one thing that has always stuck with me in this story is the promise that God will never flood the earth again and placed his rainbow in the sky as a covenant to us.  That is a great promise!
I want to share with you the page I created:





Supplies Used:
Paper: Bubble Gum Cardstock
Dies: Heart-felt, Cloud Dreams (I used to trace the clouds)
Clouds are colored with PanPastels
Rainbow is colored with Color Splash Pencils
