Divine Design – March

Last month I started an album with a monthly Bible verse design. This project started off as a challenge by Lori Craig and all are welcome to join in. I’m still trying to find some time to catch up on the challenge I missed but I’d like to share with you the scripture and design I worked up for March. This month we have an early Easter and with that in mind…I chose a scripture that celebrated that.

He is Risen!

I incorporated two verses into this design. The new He is not Here stamp by Cornish Heritage Farms and another verse from 1 Peter 1:3 about the great mercy of God and the living hope I have jks-rejoice-close-up.jpgin Jesus. The Rejoice and Lily stamps are also new to Cornish Heritage Farms and you can easily find them by using Easter or Inspirational as a search keyword on their site. To add stitching to my chipboard page I used a darling little rub-on tape by Daisy D’s.

To create this book I’ve been using a Maya Road chipboard album with a binder snap type system. I love how easy it is to take out the pages to work on them. To keep my book cohesive I decided to use a 6×6 Stella Ruby paper pad from Basic Grey and go with a shabby/vintage style look. If you’d like to join in or just check out the challenge…you can find it here. πŸ™‚

Simply Saturday….a simple frame

It’s crazy busy here today with the renovation. We’re busy pouring our concrete kitchen/eating area/mudroom floor. We’ll be tiling on top once it cures. I can’t wait. This is the last HUGE job of the renovation and we’re hoping it is all downhill from here. πŸ™‚ We hope.

Today in keeping with my busy day and in keeping with Simply Saturday…I’m sharing a frame design that is published in the latest PaperCrafts magazine…. April 2008 edition. Where DO the days go?! I didn’t even realize this issue was already out but saw it on the shelves last night at the drug store. LOL They love me there! πŸ˜‰ Scanning the magazines, as with Cdn postage…I’m one of the last to get my complimentary copies. I’m sure they groan when they see me coming. You’ll be happy to know I did purchase one of the latest scrapbooking magazines so it’s all good. πŸ˜‰

Forever Frame

This is a quick simple 12 x12 ” wedding frame. The emphasis of the feature was on white weddings. I added a white flourish rub-on directly onto the glass for a subtle embellishments. As you may know…I just love altering frames. This design is all about sometimes simple being all you need. πŸ™‚ Another feature of April’s PC magazine is quick and easy birthdays. I have another simple design in that as well.

I also wanted to tell you that Jacksonbelle has her new store open! This time its not on ebay but a fabulous on-line store with even more goodies for you.

Edited to add…

Just can’t stay away! πŸ˜‰ I took some quick pics this morning and thought I’d share…

My back entrance just before the floor is poured…those are the in-floor heating tubes attached to the steel base that the concrete is poured on top of.
