3 Clovers Thursday Challenge

Morning everyone! This is post #2 for today so be sure you scroll up to see this week's limeLIGHT sketch and product challenge.

This month's challenges at 3 Clovers Thursday Challenges will be based upon a school theme. Today's challenge, specifically, is to use primary colors such as red, blue, yellow and apparently green. I had to choose to use green as I made this card for Kyler for his first day of school and well...green is his favorite color! I even gave this guy cute blonde hair like Kyler's, fun! This is also for a sketch challenge of some sort but I don't recall which one...sorry!

I chose this image as Kyler and I always do the "I love you" sign to each other when one of us is leaving. Go ahead...awwww...I do love it, too!

Anyway, I'd love to see what you make so be sure to link back to Kerry's blog HERE. Also, if you are going to upload it an online community use the keyword 3CTC29 please.

Have fun with the challenge everyone!

Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini...

Today is the day friends! The Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini is available to order from starting today! Yay! I just thought I'd share a a gift bag with tag that I made for my friends daughter's gift on Saturday. The pink Gund bear was part of her gift so I thought, why not and made the Build A Bear pink, too! Personally I thought it was the cutest presentation at the party! I could have been biased though!

Anyway, if you would like a copy of the Holiday mini please e-mail me and I'll get one out to you! My customers should be getting one in the mail directly from SU! but there has been some delay in the mailing of them so please be patient. You could also choose to click on over to my Demonstrator Website and check it out there along with the wonderful news that the Stampin' Up! Digital Studio software will be available to customers on Oct 1st!

See ya in a couple of days!

Good words...

I found this on the blog Like A Warm Cup of Coffee and thought we could all learn from it and appreciate its words...

“Just in case you find any mistakes on this blog, please remember they were put there for a purpose. I try to offer something for everyone. Some people are always looking for mistakes and I didn’t want to disappoint you!” -Unknown Magazine, Come Before Winter (switched magazine for blog)

I read the following in my devotional today and wanted to pass it along…

“How come we’re so surprised when we see it {incompetence} in others and so devastated when it has occurred in ourselves?…Come on, ease off. If our perfect Lord is gracious enough to take our worst, our ugliest, our most boring, our least successful, our leaning tower of failures and forgive them, burying them in the depths of the sea, then it’s high time we give each other a break….After all, imperfection is one of the few things we still have in common. It links us close together in the same family! So then, whenever one of us blows it and we can’t hide, how about a little support from those who haven’t been caught yet? Oops, correction. How about a lot of support?” Chuck Swindoll, Come Before Winter

“Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity.”

He quoted a proverb: “‘Can a blind man guide a blind man?’ Wouldn’t they both end up in the ditch? An apprentice doesn’t lecture the master. The point is to be careful who you follow as your teacher.

“It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbor’s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, ‘Let me wash your face for you,’ when your own face is distorted by contempt? It’s this I-know-better-than-you mentality again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your own part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.” Luke 6:37-42 (The Message)

My Best Friend

Morning everyone. For future reference I am no longer a part of the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge group.

I made this for my husband and he truly enjoyed it. I'll be back tomorrow with a much more uplifting post.
