Hello Creative Friends,
I’m back! I had some complications after my surgery but I’m feeling better now. Thanks for all of your prayers!
Today I’m sharing a Back To School card. You’ll find the Back To School Women’s Theme on my main website here. The school “paper” on this is just made with lined index cards that I cut to about 2 1/4 x 3 and some punched holes. I just wrote out the bible reference with an ink marker.
The apple is from Stampin’ Up! Tart & Tangy stamp set. I gave my resignation as a Stampin’ Up! demo awhile back but my oldest daughter is a demo and her online store is located here if you are in need of anything.
The verse reference is 2 Timothy 2:15.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
I put up the Back to School devotionals on my main site one day when I was feeling better and you’ll find all of the Back to School ministry links together on the main page.
Thanks again for all of you who’ve been praying for me!

Hello Creative Friends,
Today I’m sharing a little camera box which would be a really fun favor for a scrapbooking event. You could fill it with all kinds of little embellishments or goodies. It would even make a fun way to include a digital camera card for a gift.
I used a Sizzix Box #2 die-cut for this but you could use a box template of similar dimensions as well. This box is approximately 3 3/4 inches wide, 2 inches high, and about 1 1/2 inches in depth. I used various punches along with some black card stock and some various colored metalic paper to embellish mine. I added in one rhinestone gem for a spot of bling! The handle strap is just made with rope put through a grommet on the side of the box. I used an embossing plate on the larger front panel for a little design.
You can find my Scrapbooking Devotional here.
Have a creative day!

Hello Creative Friends,
Today’s the big day for the Verve Anniv-Verve-sary Blog Hop and I’m so thrilled to join in since I’ve become a real fan of their stamps. I find their stamps to be encouraging and fun stamps and there’s a lot of Bible verses and inspirational sayings which I of course just love. It’s their 3 year anniversary and I wish them many more years of further success!
If you’ve already been hopping along, you arrived here from Martha’s Blog. If not, head on over to Julee’s Blog (owner of Verve), for all the info on how to win prizes (after all, what’s a party without presents?), and to start hopping from the beginning. If there’s a hiccup along the hop, you can always head to the Master Hop List to get the full list of links.
My daughter, Tara (my 12 year old) told me this card looked “so Verve-y!”. She said the colors were Verve colors. I guess because Verve packaging is aqua and brown and the website color, aqua. I decided I couldn’t go wrong with a “Verve-y” card for the Verve Anni-Verve-sary so this is the one I decided to use!
For my card, I used some brown and aqua patterned paper along with one of Verve’s newer stamps (from the June release), Always On My Mind. It’s a great set for general thinking of you cards which I sometimes need a lot.
I stamped the little hanging flower-ettes (not sure what to call them) directly onto the card and then re-stamped them on aqua card stock, cut the flower part out and glittered with some Dazzling Diamonds glitter and added them with foam mounts to the ones I’d already stamped on the card. The middles of them have mini brads. I layered a Top Note die-cut along the top of the card and the rest is pretty self explanatory.
Thanks for stopping in. Be sure to hop on over to Wendy’s Paper Therapy Blog to see what Verve-y goodness she’s cooked up for you!
Remember, just stop into the Verve Blog for the master list if you want to start at the beginning of the hop.
