NOEL


 We received this metal letters for Christmas from our daughter a while back and we decided to get them powder coated red for this Christmas season!!!!!!!!  They look fantastic!!  We have mounted them above the door on the back workshop.  They will be blessing us and everyone who travels the adjoining street the whole Christmas season!!  They are about 12" tall.  DH drilled holes for screws in them before we had them powder coated.  The stainless steel screws will live in the holes all year round so there will be no problem finding the screws when it is time to put them up again.  That will keep the water out of the siding during the summer.  I love how they turned out and the cost was very reasonable for powder coating!!    Therese

A birthday card featuring a cute digital greeting with a cupcake, an embossed strip and lots of little ribbon flags


 For this card I first chose the decorative paper and then found a coordinating green card to which I adhered it.  I watercoloured the little cupcake digital greeting (Melonheadz) and added clear glitter with a gel pen and the used a corner rounder on its edges.  I sponged its edges before I mounted it to a coordinating layer which had also been corner rounded.  Next, I embossed a pink strip and then flagged its end.  Then, I added a strip of double sided tape and adhered a whole lot of little ribbon flags to it.  Love little ribbon flags!!  I mounted the strip over my background and then mounted my focal element over the strip using 3D foam tape.            Therese

Cards going to a new home


I have prepared a bag of cards I have refurbished and made for donation that is ready to be dropped off!!  I love that these wonderful creations get at least one more chance at blessing others as they have me.   I always put inserts in my cards so that others can refurbish them and reuse them.
