Terrific Tuesday #39-Product Of The Month

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #39~
Each month I like to feature a product from Stampin Up that I use in creating my projects.
This month I'm featuring an embellishment called Opal Rounds. They add a nice, little shimmer to cards. The photo on the left shows how they come packaged. And the photo on the right shows how the Opal Rounds look on a card.


If you are looking for some handmade cards, I would like to include a link to my  Joyful Heart Gift Shop, where you will find some unique, handmade cards. A handmade card is a wonderful way to brighten someone's day.

Today's scripture reading:
"See, I have written your name on the palms of My hands." Isaiah 49:16 (NLT).


May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #38-My Creating Process

 ~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #38~
Each month I like to share some of the steps I use when I create projects. Right now, I'm trying to use up my large stash ๐Ÿ˜of patterned paper. So, I have been cutting the paper in 3"x4" blocks, so they are ready for me to add to a card base. When I have a few moments, I can then grab one of these patterned paper blocks and add one to a card base, stamp a sentiment, and I'm good to go. Using this process, I was able to create 15 cards in a relatively short amount of time. 
In my Joyful Heart Gift Shop, I offer various handmade cards and small gifts for purchase.

Today's Scripture readings:
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with him graciously give us all things?” Romans 8:31-32.

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #37-What To Write In A Get Well Card

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #37~

Perhaps you would like to send a get well card to someone. Today, I would like to offer some suggestions as to what to write on the inside of a get well card:

  • Wishing you a quick and complete recovery.
  • If hugs and kisses could cure, you'd be immune to everything! Feel better soon.
  • Sending you healing vibes.
  • Sending well wishes your way.
  • Hope you feel better really soon.

I like to include a link to my Joyful Heart Gift Shop if you would like to purchase some unique, one of a kind handmade cards.

Today's Scripture reading:
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace" Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.
