Cards for Kindness

Of course I love making cards and what a great cause Scrapbook.com has to make Cards for Kindness and they send  them out to people and organizations. I recently received a card from one of my sorority sisters for having a virtual scrapbooking session. It made my day! In times like these, we all could use some Happy Mail. I’m also making mask and packaging them with these mini bags I received during one of Michaels $4 grab bag specials using a cute little digital and Stampin Up Digital sentiment.

Scrapbook Parties

I’m back in the craft room working on projects. I’ve been working on a few scrapbook parties and making interactive mini album kits! Oh what fun. My scrapbook group Creative Queen Crafters are totally awesome and supportive! Check us out with a few picture overload of all the fun. This was one of my sorority's event for Sisterhood Month.

I LOVE this group!

April, Lakeisa, Samantha, Princess, Veta, Kim, Rhoda, Gwen

The card make n take was done by Gwen

They were engaged!

Who doesn't love to win prizes? We had plenty for everyone to take three!

Rhoda came up with our groups name! She's setting up our tool area.

LaFonde definitely had her share of FUN!

Our Delta Dear Geraldine has been wanting to do a scrapbook for years!

Did I say they were engaged?  Yes, Coloring appeared to be very relaxing.

Patricia was our photographer, but she was able to scrapbook as well.

Veta is assisting and taking photos too!

Doing what I do.....

Lakeisa helping me with the luggage.  I've had this Creative Memories luggage since 2000!

Yes Soror!  See you next time.  Looking forward to it!!

Daniel Fast

I've joined the Daniel Fast.  My cousin asked me to start one week later so she would have a prayer partner and I called my soror to join so we three are having a great start in the Lord in 2018!  I haven't been tempted eating outside fruits and vegetables.  Prayers have already been answered! The altered journal was designed to write notes of my journey of how the Lord blessed, scriptures including personal notes to the Lord, and my meal plan. My word for 2018 is PEACE.  Yes PEACE within and PEACE in the world. Lord have mercy.....The tag I made for my journal is evidence of the word.

The Best of Friends

Do you have a friend that you haven't talked to in a while, but when you finally get together you have to catch up on old times?  I have one.  She's too funny and I love her.  We've been friends since elementary school.  We have to catch up on the family and see how everyone is.  I used this gateway fold card to send to her.  I'm going to enclosed an old photo of us.

Friday Night Chat Challenges

Enjoyed tonight's Friday Night Challenge over at Embrace Your Art.  Tiare better known as Classygirl was our host and she allowed an hour for us to create instead of 30 minutes so I got a chance to take my time.  Our first challenge was to create a project with our favorite technique and use our handwriting.  I painted this on a watercolor sketch pad using acrylic paint, watercolor, masking, glitter...I don't think I have a favorite technique.

Entering in the following challenges:  

Alphabet Challenge - Pretty in Pink

Make a Wish Shaker Card

My nephew of my sorority sisters's son LJ had a birthday on April 27th and I made this card for him.  He loves red because his mother and father greek colors are Crimson and Cream.  Yes his mother is a Delta and his father a Kappa.  I wanted to make him something special since he lives in Virginia and I don't get to see him often. His favorite store to shop is Target and he can tell you whats on every aisle. lol  This shaker card was easy peasy using foam paper. Use DCWV The Celebration Paper Stack
