Are you ready? Get Well!

This week is the last week to sign for my exciting Stamp a Blessing retreat!

Join the conversation below or on Facebook!

What gets you moving in the morning?

What is your motivation?

My motivation is loving people.

My motivation is growth.

Check out some of the cards we made in our last Monthly Cool Cards Class.

This card has so many cute details going on.

Get Well Soup stamp set

Blushing Bride and Blackberry Bliss colors

Cute Curvy Corner Trio punch on two corners

Cute gold heart from the Itty Bitty Accents on top of a 3/4" circle

Few hearts from the Heart Confetti Punch

Dazzling Details in Gold

a bit of fuzzy cutting…voala!

But THIS ONE is my favorite!

The tissue box inside.

A little help for a friend in need.

Wanna know how we did that? Easy!

*Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper at 6" x 3"

*Then score on the horizontal at 1 1/2", 3" and 4 1/2"

*Fold and rehearse positioning it inside your card till you can see which side is the top.

*Go in the middle with a 3/4" circle punch and punch a circle from both sides. So two circles.

*Trim with scissors.

*Glue bottom and side of tissue box to your card.

*Done! Now add half a half of one-ply tissue papers. :)

#NOSLACKINGWEEK

I am keeping motivated encouraging myself in the Word of God.

You can read some of my fave quotes on yesterday's post.

I am also reading this book titled Crazy Love.

I told you I want to grow…I want to grow in loving others.

This book so far is awesome. Check his out!

"God's art speaks of Himself, reflecting who He is and what he is like."

"This is why we are called to worship Him. His art, His handiwork, and His creation all echo the truth that he is glorious."

"The point of your life is to point to Him"

Wao…love that one! I want the point of my life to be, pointing to Him.

I am not afraid. I am in love with Christ.

Doing everything for HIm.

Creative Blessings,

Monthly Cool Cards Class #noslackingweek

Good morning!

New week, new blessings!

New week, new challenges!

New week, I am ready!

I am so excited to share with you a bit of my journey through this blog.

Join the conversation below,

What gets you moving in the morning?

I have inside of me such a passion for growth. A passion for increase. A passion not to get stuck on me but to go beyond me, and reach out to others.

What is your passion?

Check below a couple of quotes that lift me up!

But first let me share what I've been working on.

This was one of the cards we made at my Monthly Cool Card Class.

We had so much fun and enjoyed stamping together with my sweet ladies.

Materials:

Garden in Bloom Stamp Set

Calipso Coral, Basic Gray Cardstock

Circle Card Thinlits

Big shot Die Cutting Machine

Tea Lace Paper Doilies

Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack

Washi LabelPunch

White Organza Ribbon

Basic Rhinestones

A quote from a man named Vincent Van Gough says:

The way to know life is to love many things.

Ha! I always relate to this quote because I know I love life, and in this abundant life I am living I do love many "things": God, my family, teaching, piano, stamping, dancing, having friends…..

All these take time and effort….so this will be my #noslacking week.

O, dear! Did I just say that…yes, I did!

No slacking….share below an area were you will determine this week NOT to slack.

Put your best effort (energy, joy) and smile while you do it.

Another awesome quote from the Bible that gets me going each morning is:

Psalm 18:35: "You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great."

What an amazing thing that the God of the whole universe stoop down to make ME great. Wao!

I want to be great at making Him great!

#noslackingweek

Haha…I did my share of burps this morning at Trot Fitness! No slacking!

ARE YOU WITH ME?

Have you Stampin'Up! new flower punch?

It is so pretty and so useful!
Check out the video below and the cards I made with it the other day!

Which one is your favorite…saaaayyyy somethingggg! :)

The name of it is Festive Flower Punch.
It coordinates with the stamp set Reason for the Season but it can also be used for non-holiday projects.

I used non-traditional colors (Blushing Bride and Real Red)…plus my Floral Framelits.

The coordinating Reason for the Season stamp set is used throughout.

New Gold Cording Trim…love it!

Remember this one I posted here…sweet!

I used only the smallest leaves for this Blushing Bride flower

and I stamped with White Craft Ink.

My center was made with the Itty Bitty Accents flower punch

and the Tree Builder Punch (tiny gold flower).

More energy!

Honestly,

This must be the cutest stamp set and punch on earth!

That you still don't have your Sprinkles of Life!

Get it today because it is the best stamp ever.

It comes with so much and you can make projects not only for birthdays, but to encourage a friend, to say hello, to lift up, say I miss you and more!

I am totally in love with mine.

Can we just add more hours to my day? Hehe! That way I can create more.

I was listening to an awesome coach and motivational speaker the other day. My fitness trainer Mr. Nisan Trotter on a video he released on Sunday eve.

And one of the things he shared was to put MORE ENERGY into what you love to do. Into THAT thing that you are passionate about. He truly challenged me, cause I thought I was putting "enough" energy!

Wao! But he pushed me to up it even more. You can follow Nisan here for s good dose of Motivation.

I told you this is my Awesome week…since Monday morning I chose the tune of my week. Awesome!

It is you who chooses the tone of your day.

So..why not get that energy higher. Do your very best in everything you put your hands to do and do it with joy!

Sprinkles of Life stamp set…just beautiful!

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since YOU KNOW that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving"

Colossians 3:23-24

I gotta tell you, this verse fuels me!

What an awesome week I am having and I am grateful to God and to you too.

Never stop pursuing your dreams

Never stop doing that which produces such joy inside of you

THAT is your gift!

Use it to bless as many you can!

Have an AWESOME day!

Precious Wildflower Stampin'Up!

I have to say that the first time I saw this stamp for some reason I loved it.

WILD ABOUT FLOWERS

Maybe because is a DIFFERENT type of flower stamp.

I will NEVER get tired of flower stamps. Haha!

But this stamp is deceiving….you never think you could make such different look projects with it.

I made this card for a sweet friend who moved away from PA a few months back. I miss her…:(
