Nature Scene Bible Journaling...

Psalm 104 has a number of references to nature in it.

And after reading in my daily reading, 

I decided to journal a nature scene...

Here is the video showing my process.

The stamp sets used are retiring at the end of May,

so if any peek your interest,

don't wait to order them!

            

The colors used today are

Pacific Point

Tempting Turquoise

Smokey Slate

Old Olive

that it should not be removed for ever."

Daffodil Woods Card...

Daffodils are the first flowers we have around here when it starts warming up,

and I like them!

So, I went with them as my inspiration for a card...

I just love seeing the daffodils in the woods.

This card is a little more involved, but there is a video!

The card details:

White card base is 5 1/2 x 8, scored at 4 1/4 inches.

Piece of Mint Macaron cardstock at 4 x 5 1/4 inches...

then the middle removed at 1 inch in all the way around, 

then done again at 1/2 inch. all the way around.

White background piece at 3 3/4 x 5 inches

Ink colors are

Mint Macaron

Daffodil Delight

Peekaboo Peach

As of this week, the new catalog has been released to demonstrators.

There is some great stuff in the new catalog!

However, with the new catalog, some things must go...

So there is an extensive retiring list...

(you can find the items here)

And the two stamp sets I used for this card

In the Meadow (which I love)and the Oh So Succulent set

are on the list to go...

You can still get these stamp sets until May 31, 2017

or while supplies last.

The In the Meadow clear-mount set is on backorder,

but they do have it in wood-mount!

And the Oh So Succulent stamp set is 25% off!

Of the colors used, Mint Macaron is also a retiring color,

so you will need to hurry to get it if it is a color you need!

Whew! 

I made this card before the retiring list was released,

so, I had no idea so much of one card would be going away.

Thank you for coming to Create with Me today!

"In his hands are the deep places of the earth: 

the strength of the hills is his also."

March 2017 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Ideas...

In case you haven't heard about it before, Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription box from Stampin' Up! It is a very fun box full of great paper crafting fun. I'll explain more in a few moments...

This month's kit was Bunny Buddies...for Easter. However, I don't really need any bunny items, so I changed mine up a little!

I really like the Happy Spring alternatives I came up with, and hope the ladies I'm giving them out to do too!

Here is the video of making these for you to get an idea of what I did:

The Paper Pumpkin kits are just so interesting to get... they are a surprise each month and have everything you need inside of them to make adorable crafts. Also, if you happen to not necessarily care for what comes in your kit at first...you can always switch it up!

The March 2017 kit came with the products needed to make the Bunny Buddies, which you can watch how the did them in this Paper Pumpkin video. However, I added a few items that didn't come in the kit to make my alternatives...

In the Meadow Stamp Set$20.00

like the In the Meadow Stamp set, Sweet Sugarplum ink, Peekaboo Peach ink, Dapper Denim ink, sequin, and metallic enamel shapes.

The refill kit for this Paper Pumpkin is available now (no full kits though...), which would be great for getting the great bags, baker's twine, small cards, and mini clothes pins for only $8! There is 9 bags and 9 cards & envelopes in this kit...
                            
So, would you do the bunnies? or switch it up with me, and do something more Springy? If you switched it up, what stamp would you use on your bag?

Flying High Card...

Today for Hot Air Balloon Week we are going to make a card that does not have a sentiment on it, making it a nice to have on hand for any occasion when the need for a card arises.

This card seemed to come together rather smoothly and I really like the finished product.
The video below shows the process.
