Playing with some Purple Onion Design stamps and sharing another Valentine card. I love Stephanie Ackerman's Home Sweet Home set. There are a lot stamps in the set with so many possible combinations. I paper pieced the house, heart, and sun with papers from My Mind's Eye. The card base is Spellbinders Labels One. The sentiment and flowers are also from the set, and I added some faux stitching lines with a white pigment pen. And here's a shot of the Valentine cards that I sent to Winter Sims for her recent card drive. I rummaged through my card stash and found some extra cards that fit the Valentine theme. I hope it cheers up a lot of children in hospitals this Valentine's Day. Thanks for stopping by today, and have a crafty week! SUPPLIES: InLinkz.com

Create a life that reflects your dreams.... Live a life that defines your purpose.

Last week I got to share about God-sized Dreams with a group of amazing women at Camp Create. As I stood up to speak the first night I confessed, “Creating art used to scare me silly. I wouldn’t even go near a hot glue gun.” My fear came from a false belief that there was …

I'm really loving this little class... the instructions for the 2nd set of twelve cards were posted in the classroom on 4/1, and I worked through them to do my cards and I love them. The techniques were a little different this time - lots of fun layers, some different mediums, and lots of color! Each of the cards has a definition on it for a word that resonated with me... the first letter of each word should help to spell out BEAUTIFUL YOU which was fun. Here are the individual cards with all their lovely layers and their words:...
