Colourful Christmas Card

Happy Friday, everyone! Where have summer gone to? I can't believe tomorrow is September already. Time sure fly this year.

I made a Christmas card. A very colourful one. I don't make my cards with lots of colours often but this one is so pretty with all these colours.

I stamped snowflakes on different card stock and then punch them out with a 1-1/4" circle punch. The rest of the card is pretty much self explanatory.

BTW a good blogging friend brought this to my attention. I didn't realize that people have to type in a comment code verification before they can comment. I took it off so now you can comment without any hassle. Please comment if you have any questions or like my creations. I love to hear from you. Thank you Rita for letting me know.

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a nice long weekend before school starts.

Open Sea Thank You

Hello, stampers! Good day! I made some "thank you" cards for Martin to give to his friends. Black and white makes a nice masculine card. I love the Open Sea stamp set. One of my favourite stamp sets.

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

"And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm."

"But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and sea obey him!"

Matthew 8:26-27

Cheers Card

Hi, stampers! I made this card awhile ago. This card measures 4-1/4" x 8-1/2". Odd size card. It fits nicely into a legal size envelope.

I randomly stamped the snowflakes in VersaMark ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I sponged the card with Real Red and Certainly Celery inks. The image in the middle was done the same way. The image can be replace with a photo of your family and be a Christmas card to give to family and friends for Christmas. I just might make something like this this Christmas.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! Have a good day!

Teen Week Camp YES!

Hello, everyone! Here are some pictures of the Teen Camp Y.E.S! Jarod was so happy he got to go to teen camp this year where all his friends are. Jarod and his friend buying candy from the Tuk Shop. It is place where the campers can buy candies.

Hope and her friend Grace. Her family is a missionary in Quesnel, BC. Their personality is so much alike.

 Kids getting their candies.

Faith and her friend Lindsay. They are junior campers but they are here at the camp because the parents are here helping. It is fun to get to enjoy camp for two weeks.

Game time.

Jarod cleans the washrooms.  I just had to take a picture of him doing something.

This was the camp speaker Al Stone. He's a hoot. This picture is of him as an announcer for the bucket ball game.

Bucket ball game. Kids got so vicious especially the girls.

 

Jarod's cabin friends. John-Marc was his counselor. The guy in sunglasses.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Birthday Owl

Hello, stampers! I made this card for my girls' friend's birthday. Just a simple card. His party is always a big and fun one. The dads and the kids get to play water gun fight. Dads against kids. This year they played for a really long time. I stayed far away from the fight but ended getting wet any.

Thank you for stopping by!

Vintage Christmas Ornament

Good day! Hope you are having a wonderful day! This summer seems to be busy for me. I'm hardly at home. I finally have the chance to create something.

I was so excited when Stampin'Up!  sent me the Holiday Mini Catalogue. I love the ornament on the cover so I ordered the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle that have the stamp set and the framelits when it was available to order.

I case the ornament on the cover of the catalogue. I did mine in kraft colour. I added the Scalloped Tulle Ribbon to the ornament. The rosette in the middle was made with satin ribbon and the tutorial can be found here. To make the ornament look pretty I added a pearl in the middle.

I'm going to make lots of these as Christmas gifts and maybe sell them too.

Thank you for stopping by!

Junior Camp YES!

Hello, everyone! I'm back from 2 weeks of camping. No stamping creations to show you today.Just some camping pictures. I volunteered to help out in the kitchen for our church annual Camp YES! (youth excited about salvation!). I enjoyed serving these young people for the Lord. The photo above is of the camp logo. I'll show you some of the pictures of the Junior Camp first. Teen camp on another post.

Here is one of the games they played during the week. That's Faith in the middle trying her best on tug-of-war.

Faith and her friends. She is so grown up.

Here is one of the skit that the brother Stansford the guest preacher and brother Lawrence did. Such a silly skit but fun to watch.  Brother Stansford is a missionary in Marystown, New Foundland and Labrador.

Here is another one. Brother Stansford was the princess in this photo and brother Lawrence was the Queen.

Hope's new friend Carly. Best friends right away.

Faith's cabin campers and her counselor.  That's my pastor in the back.

Faith and her counselor Jamie Rowe (a  deaf missionary to Peru).

Martin and Superman.

 

Last day of camp. Another of camp come to an end.

Thank you for visiting today. Hope you enjoy looking at the camp pictures.

I made the flower using satin ribbon.  Something I learned to make long time ago.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!

My Family Annual Camping Trip

Hello, everyone! I'm back from my family annual camping trip. There were 24 of us camping together. We rented 4 sites and probably the noisiest bunch. lol We went to Shuswap lake up north/east about 5 hours drive from  Vancouver. It was a very nice campsite.

2 days before we left for our camping trip my oldest daughter asked me to make a camping book for her to write about her trip. Of course I can't just make 1 so I made 7 of these. I only made for the little ones this time since it was so last minute. Very simple book for her to track down what she did during camping.

 This was the section of the lake for dogs. You can let your dogs swim here.

 Picture of islands across the lake.

 Here a picture me sitting on a bench by the beach. Did you notice the level of water under me? 2 weeks before we were here it rained so much it flooded the lake and the inland. Lots of pools of still water on the inland so there were lots and lots of mosquito.  I got about 60 mosquito bites. I'm itchy all over.

Picture of the entrance.

Hope you enjoy looking at the pictures of my camping trip. Thank you for stopping by!

Mojo Monday 248

Hi, stampers! I finally got a chance to play in the Mojo Monday sketches. I love it that I don't have to think up a layout. I decided to make Christmas cards in July. I made two cards with the same sketch.

Here is the link to Mojo Monday 248 if you are interest in playing along too.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a good day!

Reason To Smile

Hello, everyone! I made an easel card using the new Reason to Smile stamp set.  I think the stamp set name is very fitting. For the month of July with a $60 purchase you can get the Reason to Smile stamp set for just $5. Isn't that a reason to smile? You can't get a better deal than that. For $5 you get 7 stamps in this set. Normally one stamp can cost you from $5-$10 depends on the stamp size.

Well, I'm off to make some more cards with this stamp set. Thank you for stopping by!

Princess Birthday Card

 Hello, stampers! Good day! This is double pocket card I made using Stampin'Up!'s new Diagonal Scoring Tool and the Simply Scored Board. I found a tutorial for this card on YouTube by Peggy Bennet. Very easy to follow.

 Inside of the pocket card. I didn't decorate the inside of the card as I want my daughter to be able to write or draw something inside which she enjoy doing. This card will be for her friend's birthday coming up.

This shows the tags out of the pockets. I stamped princess images for the birthday girl to colour. She loves princess stuff. I know she'll love this card for sure.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Colourful Mexico Trip Journals

Good day.  These are the journals I made for all the nieces and nephews for the Mexico trip we went to in May. They can write down all the things they did there during the trip.

Here is the cover. Very simple one. I stamped some images on the front cover and they can colour them if they wish to.

I love the colours of the journals all staked together. So pretty! I sewed the spine to keep the pages together. Each kids get their own colour. I gave it to them before we boarded the plane. Some was so excited they wrote and drew pictures in the journal while on the plane. 6 hours of flying was a long time for the little ones so the journals kept them busy for awhile.

Here is the inside. Lots of space for them to write and draw.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day!
