Live a Good Life

Have I told you lately that I’m in love with all of Melody Ross’ products.  Oh, I did?  Well, it’s worth mentioning again.

5-10 good lifeI used Melody’s beautiful GCD paper and a couple Unity stamps that Melody designed.  I used some lovely Webster’s Pages bloomers and a few black gems in opposite corners and, there you have it, a card!!!  I stamped the frame and the sentiment with black Momento and embossed the sentiment to make it stand out better!!!

See ya’ next week!!!

Blessings,

Christine

Everything Matters

Good Evening!!!  I’m a little, or maybe a lot, late today with my post from the Paper Maniac Inspiration blog.  I always post on Tuesdays but I forgot to photo and prepare my post last night until 2:00 am (my normal bedtime).  Needless to say, I didn’t prepare my personal blog post at 2:30 this morning.  Every time I sat down to my computer today, I would think “I’ve got to get my PM post done.  I’ll do that next.” while I was blog hopping or catching up on Facebook or whatever else I get involved in on the computer.  And I just kept forgetting!

I do have a bit of an excuse however.  I was in more pain the normal today and took the big pain pills so my mind has kind of been wandering all day.  I have a call into the doc to see if I might need to change my meds up a bit which I think would help out.  Plus, it seems I’m a little more talkative (or writative as it were) on the meds as well!  Kind of a long post!

11-02-01 everything mattersAnyway, about my card!!!  Our theme this week is Webster’s Pages.  I didn’t have much in the way of Webster’s Pages and our February themes are all designer’s choice, so I went with the designer’s choice option with a little WB Bloomers thrown in for style.

I used GCD Studios Artsy Urban papers and Unity Stamps June store kit.  Both of these were designed by Melody Ross, my superstar!  I also added some Webster’s Pages Bloomers to the top of the card!  Aren’t Bloomers gorgeous.  I added another sentiment—Live a Good Life--from the set to the inside of the card.  The stamps are on the clearance racks in the Paper Maniac store!  The clearance is now down to 30% off!  Go take a look!

I colored the bird with my Copics and then stamped the sentiment with Palette Black and embossed it with iridescent embossing powder.  It kind of matches the sparkles on the floral DP.

A new Soul Restoration lesson started today.  I listened to the the videos (Melody does such an awesome job.  She’s is a beautiful person.) and reviewed the materials and I just can’t wait to do my lesson this week.  It is such a positive a beautiful message.  It puts me in a good mood just thinking about.

I hope you have as great a week as I plan to!!!

Be the Poem

11-01-25 be the poem

Hi!  It’s Christine again with my card for the Paper Maniac Inspirations blog.  Our theme this week is Copic coloring. 

In the fall of 2009, I was thinking it might be about time for me to start getting some of these Copics that everyone was talking about.  I loved how people did shading and that there were so many colors to choose from.  Well, about that same time I stumbled upon the Paper Maniac store. 

They had just started the Copic Coloring Club so I bought the first kit thinking that if I didn’t think it was worth it, I would at least have enough pens to color as many pumpkins as my little heart desired (it was October)!!!.  Long story short, I have no idea how many Copics I have now but I’ve gotten every kit from the store plus many others.  I REALLY love coloring with my Copics.  Can you believe they are even a cure for migraines?  I had a migraine when I started this card and now it’s gone.  It just really relaxes me to color—I feel like a kid again!!!

I chose the Unity Be the Poem stamp by Suzi Blu.  I LOVE Suzi’s stamps!!!  I used the Homespun Chic paper by GCD and Melody Ross.  There are so many beautiful papers in the stack with such a whimsical, vintage feel.  I’ve been using these a lot in my soul restoration projects!  The buttons and ribbon are Papertrey Ink.

I also took a photo of the Copics I used just in case you are interested.  11-01-25 copicsI guess you can’t see the names very well but you’ll probably get the idea.  I better get back to my Copics; I feel that migraine coming on again! (*giggle*)  I’m still getting used to my new camera.

See ya’ next week!!!

Blessings,

Christine

I’m a Brave Girl

melody and me(I wish I would have thought to have a photo taken with Melody before the last morning when I was tired and had on no makeup!!!)

I’m home from Brave Girl Camp feeling wonderful! I’m not going to talk about it much yet; I’m just not ready to put all the feelings into words yet. I do have to say that Melody Ross is an AMAZING woman! She and her sister, as well as their families, have put together a magical experience here in the mountains of Idaho and I was so lucky to have been able to attend. In the next few days, I’ll put together a photo display for you here on the blog. I really want to share some of the magic with you.

In the mean time, I’ll be making a new McMahon Five Designs project to share with you on Wednesday. Also, I didn’t get as much finished at Brave Girls as I wish I would have but I will be sharing those in the next few days as well as doing and finishing up some other things that I didn’t have time for. I’m quite a lot slower than the other ladies but as we learned at camp, there is no right or wrong way when making art, just your way! If you like it, it’s perfect!!!

I’ll se you later in the week! I hope you all have a great Monday!!!

Blessings,

Christine
