I spent all day Friday getting cards ready and paper cut for Card Ministry. It was one of those evenings where you are tired and don't want to go out, but have to. I heard that from several other ladies, and we all found the same thing, we enjoyed being there at church doing God's work! :-)
Here are the cards we made for Card Ministry this month.
This set is going to be in my collection long after it retires. I just love doing 2-step stamping.
This is a new set that will be coming out in the Holiday Mini Sept. 1st. I just love it. We stamped in amethyst then concord crush. I used crush ribbon at the bottom. I love the color purple for royalty and God certainly is royalty. We will need 240 Christmas cards for December at the church so we started now;200 more to go!
This is a new grandparent card we made. We used versamark and Zing gold embossing powder and glitter. It got all over the place. I put the glitter into a plastic container that I thought was air tight........let's just say I'll be finding glitter in my craft bag, craft room, clothes and floor for a long time! LOL
We added thinking of you to the front of this card. It was originally designed by my friend Jan. I'll show you her design. She has a gift for making cards. Jan did a great job of adding grass and a beautiful sky. I knew the ladies in the Card Ministry couldn't do that, so I simplified the cards. I'm so thankful that Jan did this for us.
This is another card Jan made. She enabled me to get some other cards made since I had her designs and just had to cut the paper and simplify them for beginners. Thanks Jan!
Here is Jan's third card, which we didn't make. This boat was cut out from the background she stamped, colored it and added a beautiful sky and the gorgeous reflecting sun over the water.
What a wonderful time I had stamping and talking with the different ladies that showed up Friday.
Saturday I got up early and went to Hollos for some paper and envies. I go through envies so quickly around here.
When I got home my friend Emily called and said she'd be on her way in an hour. We stamped cards for her mom's place of residence called Summit Point. It was amazing how quickly we got cards made. I had several cards cut already to be used for something else so we used them for her instead. They were almost out of all of the cards that we'd made or people donated.
After Emily left I watched a DVD and finished unpacking all of the envelopes I'd filled with stamps,ink etc for Card Ministry and talking to my sister in Columbus.
This morning I got up for 9 a.m. service, went to get printer cartridges for DH's printer, then got lunch. I was invited by Emily and her DH to see the movie The Help. What a great movie! I was going to go today and told Emily yesterday. She said she was going to go if it rained today. So we all went together. It was difficult to listen to the swearing that is in the movie, but the comedy, the lines and story are great! If you get a chance see the movie. Emily and I both read the book and felt the movie followed it pretty well.
Well, I have to go to work again tomorrow and work on my classroom. Thanks for stopping by today.
Blessings and Hugs,
