Marvelous Monday #15

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 15th 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 would like to share some "Notes of Kindness" they have matching envelope liners and are sized at 3-1/2"x 5" and they can be sent through the US Postal Service-I brought one into the Post Office to be sure and they said this size indeed can be sent through the mail.



Today's Scripture:
"In His mercy, He has given us new birth into living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ"
1 Peter 1:3
May you have a Marvelous Monday.

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 14th 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 something "Simple & Sweet"-really, really it is.
Using a clear case, some patterned paper, add a mini notepad and pen and this is what you the end result is:

I also decorated a gift bag to put this decorated clear case in:
My plans are to create more of these cases and offer them at my Farmer's Market booth in September.
Today's Scripture:
"Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up" Proverbs 12:2

Today I would like to share a variety of cards.  I'm using the A2 size cardbase (4 1/4"x 5 1/2"). I enjoy using the Memories & More card packs-I'm able to create a variety of cards within a couple of hours. Let me show you :)

Marvelous Monday #12

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 would like to share a couple of mini notebooks that I "jazzed up" using the Memories & More card pack. These little mini notebook can be used for a variety of things-sermon notes, grocery store lists, goals, or perhaps you can think of way to use one.

Today's Scripture Verse:
1 Samuel 16:7 "But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart".
May you have a "Marvelous Monday".
