Everything is going to be OK #8

I know I went out of order with this one, 

but I wasn't sure I was going to share it.

It is very meaningful to me, and close to my heart.

I have always felt like such a positive person. 

I always try to find the goodness God has placed on this earth.

Sometimes, you really have to let God lead you.

We don't always feel like sunshines and rainbows. God never promised us that.

The world is full of pain and sorrow, but you don't have to be stuck in those feelings.

You can let the goodness of God's light shine through you 

so that others can see the rainbow.

Sometimes, you are what other people need.

Remember that, and be their rainbow.

When I started this piece, it was really dark, and sad.

I worked on it in moments of torment and pain.

But I know that pain will go and I will remain.

I want to be that girl, that rainbow girl.

I did not want to leave this piece with despair, but with hope.

So, I added the girl, the girl that shines with a light wherever she is.

No matter how dark and scary the world may become, she is hope.

Lots of Love,

I have always loved "Wish Flowers" that's what the kids call them. 

 It is so much fun to close your eyes, blow the flower, and make a wish. 

 Opening your eyes and being surrounded by hundreds of possibilities floating all around you,

 makes your heart beat a little faster.  You wonder if your wish will make it to 

wherever wishes go to be granted and you hope and dream.

 

So here is just a little reassurance that your dreams can come true, 

and that you can make it happen.  

The word wishes is in chipboard with glitter! that makes it so, well magical!

I had so much fun with this one! hope you like it too!

Sometimes, when we feel like there is not a new idea to be found, 

even in our little pinky finger, I want you to remember....

~You Have a Creative Soul ~

Just Know that God made you who you are.

and that is all that you Need.

God knows your Heart and your Soul, 

He is in control, and he gave you your Talents and Gifts.

Have a Beautiful Day~

Lots of Love,

 WOW how I've missed you all!  I have been so more than busy lately! 

and now it is the Holiday Season, which just means there is less time in the day right?!

 I have had a chance to do some creating, just haven't made the time to show it off.

 I miss sharing with you. So, here are a few new pages for my book.

Sorry there is only one pic of each....

I love the wrinkled old map look. It is really easy to get this look with any pattern paper. 

You simple wad the paper up into a ball. Yep, crumple it up like you are going to throw it away.

 then unfold it and lay it flat, sand the top so that the color comes off the surface.

 How cool is that! I know, I know, now you have to go try it!

and here is a page I just finished today...

Sometimes in life have you ever found yourself in a place that you just don't understand, somewhere you never imagined yourself to be. Maybe, you just need to be reminded that you are where you are suppose to be. You might not know why yet, but God has a plan for you, and maybe able to learn from this, or use this experience in your life to help others. Trust in God, focus on him, and know you can get through it.

 Well, I am totally using up as many sticker letters as I can! hahah!

This book is going to be full of quotes, sayings, and encouraging words,

 so my sticker letter binder is out all the time. 

It's a good thing, because it was feeling a bit neglected lately 

and just a bit jealous of my printer.

So, now that I am making them play nicely together, I love the result!

Here is #5....

 We all need strength, and if we focus on God we have that strength, even to thrive!

 I used pop dots in different thicknesses to add layered dimension to the tree branches

and the crystal stickers just make it shine!!

 Hope you all know you can thrive too!

 My Momma always said...

 This is really cool because I took the cover of the paper pack to make this page 

I just covered up the name of the pack with the yellow strip of paper 

then put rub-on letters over top.

 The paper already had the writing, which just happen to fit the saying perfectly

Would you believe that I didn't even plan that!!!

I jsut cut around three sides and added the pink to mat it

then put pop dots under the top edge to give it a little layered look.

I thought the color combo was great!!! 

yellow is my favorite right now, and I added the yellow last 

It was just what this page needed

And I will add a picture of the kids

 in the grey square at the top...

What do you think?

Everythings Going to Be OK #1 & #2

 So I am now addicted to Pinterest! hahah! 

I found this title of a illustrated book 'Everything is going to be OK"

Found it on amazon and almost bought it.

It is so nice to have encouraging words and pictures everyday

But then I thought.....

I should totally make one of my own! it was a real duh moment!

Then I decided I want it to be framed too

more on that later...... wink wink

So, here is the first two mini works of art for my book

 

These two pages match, but 

I can't decide if I want the entire thing to be all matchy matchy you know

You will only see one page at a time, then

 I will flip to a new page and look at that for a while.

So, what do you think? 

Should the whole book be in colors that mix and match?

Lots of Love,
