With Dad

After my 6 miles run this morning and cor workout, I sat down to d 2 quick projects before heading to Columbus for the Arnold Classic (Body Building and fitness is another passion of mine and I look forward to this event every year) .

The first project I worked on was an hello card for a friend , using the beautiful sketch from Mojo Monday and the free digi image from Robyn's Fetish. Well, my water coloring still leave a lot to be desire but I'll keep  working on it.

I will also be submitting this card for the Lexi's creations #8 (anything goes) and Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays #30 (open)

For the second project, I use the Sketch Friday sketch at Practical Scrapper to make the second page of a LO I did for the Twisted Sketch wood challenge. When I did the first layout, I thought I had 2 pages of the PP, but when I went to do page 2 couldn't find the PP, so I have been trying to figure out how to the make page 2 work and this sketch seems to work just fine.

 

 

Indoor Pony

Really needed a stress release after work today, so decided to work on The Scrappiest Sketch Challenge #54, I remember when my son came home after this picture was taken, how excited he was about the pony indoor. The Challenge on the Practical Scrapper is use Chalk or Ink so I will be submitting this LO for that too. The Inqueboards are painted with the Paintbox pigment ink scarlet and Momento dew drop rich cocoa, the edge of the scalloped circle is held down with Studio G glitter glue,cardstock are inked with momento dew drop rhubarb stalk and rich coca, and the PP is Colorbok.

Fun in the Sun/SSCC #28

Over at Paper Popsicle for the first challenge in March (Moosetrack Monday sketch Challenge) we had to think Spring, being in Ohio it will take a lot of imagination to come up with spring right now but I found some beautiful  pictures of my son that at least warm my heart. Don't forget to stop by at the Paper Popsicle blog to get your free Moosetrack Monday Freebie before they are back in the store.

  

For Stamping Sister's in Christ Challenge #28 - Colossians 3:17, this is an open challenge but to be done with a prayerful and thankful heart.  I use this free image from Jennie Baer at Homeberries this is actually a stitching pattern but it works great for the card.

Just like running, scrapbooking and card making calms my mind and renew my spirit, with running I say a prayer for each step I am able to take and I am thankful for the joy and peace it brings. With Crafting, I am so thankful for the joy of being like a child to be able to create, get messy and sticky and not worry about the problems of the world or the responsibility of adulthood, it is always at this times that I always remember that I have a father that loves me no matter what. I am definitely blessed and loved.

Blessed
