Merry Christmas!

I thought it was about time for me to do a little up date as well. I've been making a few Christmas cards too! of course around Christmas time i have to make at least 20 cards for all my family friends and relatives. and Boy was i ever scurrying this year. I only made about 15 and my mom had to settle with 'store bought ones" for a few relatives. :( Not good. eh? :) But you see I really had a good excuse! I'm Busy! Thanks for looking and i hope you like em.  And I wish to enter them to some challenges. and maybe make some new posts. first challenge goes to Our Daily Bread Designs. Cause I used a oval nesti, and heat embossing the verse and layers i guess. :) I also tried out a fun technique i got from this Awesome lady call Beate. I think she's a genius in all she makes. And i wanted a cool way to clean up all my scraps. and this was so fun and easy! :)
and a big shot of some other cute ones i made. with precious moments pictures. I just adore them. I will post a new post for close ups.

My first Scrapbook page

Hello Everyone! I'm back again,, for a short time. I've been extremely busy at promotions. Christmas orders are coming in like crazy! and to bad for me,, I hardly have time to fiddle around at my crafting desk. But i did manage to do a scrapbook page which took me a few days... I had been playing around with the idea of making one for the Our Daily Bread Designs challenge, and this was the best i came up with. It's pictures of all our girls posing for some beautiful Autumn scenery. We had a great time! I'll post a couple pics of the close ups,, and you can see the pictures better and the Scripture verse from ODBD. Anyways, i hope you like it cause I spent lots of time deciding on how to make it and fit the inspiration picture. But I really had fun! I might do some more in the near future. :) So I wish you all a great day!

Hi everybody! I just gotta join some fabulous challenges with my cards. My time is limited today,, so I have to make it short. Today is Thanksgiving day. But shouldn't we be thankful All year round? I think so. It says in the Bible. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;” Ephesians 5:20, KJV.

baby girl

Good Morning bloggers! You know it's harvest season around here and I hardly get enough time to make cards as i would wish too. Somehow i managed to make 2 cards on the weekend along with Migrane headaches, (which is Not fun!) But Thanks be to God He always is faithful to bring me through. I also got to spend a little more time with my pet this weekend since she's been kinda neglected the last week, with me always so busy and stuff. I had to post some pictures of her. I know she's still a runt and always will be, It's winter coming up and she's loosing alot of hair also her spots. But she's still as pretty as ever! So once again,, i'm taking a chance at challenges,, with my cards. Thanks for visiting my blog

brown n blue

So I tried some more of 'guy' style cards.. and will join some challenges with em. Everybody has such amazing creations!! I feel like mine don't even qualify ..:) But i wanna try. please.... On the first one i stamped my own background and since fall time is around the corner and the harvest has begun,, It fits perfectly! The sentiment is not very clear on the picture,, but it says "To everything there is a season. A time for every purpose under heaven". The second one is just a sketch i found and used blue and brown for a thank you card.

little boy ready for school

Hi It's just me again, decided to update my blog again. I had just made another similar card for a boy cousin birthday and I came across this blog of Cards for men! wow! i was excited,, i defiantly will need that blog for inspiration! Because you see,, i have tons of boy, guy, men cousins and uncles! and i love to make cards for their birthdays,, and many times i run out of idea's. It's happened a few times that i had to give a girly card to a guy! LOL!! but they didn't mind that much. They like the thought more. how sweet!:)

Inspired by card sketches

I just want to share my cards that i make. I made this card for a neighbors 50th Anniversary. They just loved it!! :) Everybody wanted the instructions.. LOL!
Then we got two new babies,, a boy and girl! I tried a Spiltcoasstampers card sketch.  I just adore those little Precious Moments people...  


Then I also tried another sketch challenge... with a new stamp set i got from... Walmart! LOL! :)




In the Beginning.....

Hi,, this is just my first day on a blog, I've been wishing and wanting to join card challenges for the longest time now and since it looks like everybody has a blog and maybe it requires to have one to participate ,, well here goes! I'm not sure how to handle all this stuff here,, but I'll get it someday. i hope. :)
I'm subscribed to Stampin Sisters in Christ for a while now,, and can't wait to join the challenge. I made a card this week for my cousins new baby girl,,with some old stuff that i never have tried before. I like their website very much and am blessed to see that folks are desiring to be inspired by Scripture! Hallelujah!
I'm also a photographer at heart. And the peculiar blog name is my nickname. :) People always see me with my big camera snapping every little detail of life! and that's how i got the name! (i don't mind it as long as they accept my camera pointing at them!)
I also live on a huge farm and help my daddy a lot, And most of all I'm a Born Again Believer! I long to know him more and be known of Him that He in and through my life would be glorified.
