Marvelous Monday #11

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 11th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday". Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings;
Today I'm sharing a variety of cards that required no stamping.  I used the items from another Memories & More card pack called Best Route. This card pack has some great sentiments that cover many occasions:

Marvelous Monday #10

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 10th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
Last week on Monday July 16 I shared in this posthttps://joyfulheartcreationsanddesigns.blogspot.com/2018/07/marvelous-monday-9_16.h
I created cards using the "Memories & More" card pack using 4"x6" card bases.  Today I would to share some smaller cards using 3"x4" card bases.





They were so fun to put together. I did check with the US Postal Service to see if they can be mailed, they told me they are too small.  However, you can put them in a larger sized envelope to mail or these cards would be wonderful to hand to someone in person or to add to a gift. If you would like to create a set of these cards feel free to contact me and we can arrange a time that works for your schedule.
Today's Scripture is from James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above".
May you have a "Marvelous Monday".

Marvelous Monday #9

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 9th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
Perhaps when you read the term "Memories and More" your thoughts go to keeping your memories in a photo album or a scrapbook.  Yes, this can be done with the pack of cards featured below, they can also be used for card making and that's where the "more" comes in.  The card pack includes 50 total double-sided cards (2 each of 25 designs) in 3"x4" and 4"x6" sizes and 6 single-sided specialty cards in 3"x4" sizes and 4 sticker sheets.
Tea Room Memories & More Card Pack
Using the cards in the pack I challenged myself to create some cards using minimal supplies. What makes the card making even better is that there are card bases and envelopes that are the exact size of the cards in the card pack. There are 10 card bases in a pack,
Since today is "Marvelous Monday" I thought I would share the results of my challenge with 10 cards.






 



The nice thing is I have plenty of cards from the pack to create more cards or add to a photo album. If you would like to create some cards using these products feel free to contact me and we can arrange a time that works for your schedule.

Today's Scripture Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courgeous.  Do not be afraid; do not be discourged, for the Lord your God will be with you whereever you go"

May you have a "Marvlous Monday".

I found at the JoAnn Fabrics near me some-"Opti Cloth"-they are basically small cleaning cloths for your cell phone, and glasses and I thought it would be nice to package them up to sell at my local Farmers Market.  I used a variety of patterned paper.  Since today is "Marvelous Monday" I thought I would share them here:
Today's Scripture-Hebrews 11:1 "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen."

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 7th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.

I've been setting up at the local Farmers Market offering my cards for purchase.  I wanted to add a little variety to my display, so I decided to add some Mini Recipe Albums. Using mini photo albums, recipe cards, patterned paper, stickers, with today being "Marvelous Monday" I thought I would share some pages from one of the Mini Recipe Albums I put together.
 My goal is make each one unique, one of a kind, so no two will be the same:


 
This how the Mini Recipe Albums are displayed at my Farmers Market booth.
If you would like to purchase a Mini Recipe Album, feel free to send me an email.  My email is on the right hand column of this blog.
Today's Scripture reading:
"Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105.
