ABC Scripture [F], colors and SSS challenge






Good afternoon...

It's quite a rainy day and seems like we're going to have a couple days with rain...
Well, glad I'm pretty much busy "indoors" creating and working and finishing with some of the latest projects - for the classes and gifts that I promised to some friends and relatives.
:)
That's quite a few though. About 7 different themed projects(2 are "year-long" type of project/assignment) .

It has been a while and I'm happy to be"catching up" again.

It's focused on Bible Verses - 2 Kings 17:38 and Prov. 3:1) while using the colors of TCR#49. The final result is this oh-so feminine look page carrying these great words that reminds me to not FORGET about what God has for me...

The Bible Verses here are:

"Do not forget the covenant I have made with you, and do not worship other gods."
(2 Kings 17:38)

"My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart..."
(Proverbs 3:1)

Supplies:
paper: CTMH, Basic Grey; button, stamp and ink: CTMH; alpha and circle chipboard: Making Memories, Darice; lacey doily: Wilton; brad and rhinestone: Recollections; accent fabric flower: Prima; punch: Martha Stewart; marker: ZIG Millennium; felt bird and big satin flower(misc.)

Thank you for visiting my blog,

ABC Scripture [B] and colors challenge





ABC Scripture Challenge #2/2011

http://thecolorroom.ning.com/

Today I'm sharing my 6" x 6" layout which is the ABC Scripture Challenge #2 - [B]. It is also the TCR#41 pallette challenge for The Color Room.

The keyword for the ABC Scripture layout is BIBLE (B). And for this, I've chosen two Bible verses that I find to fit perfectly in.

verse#1: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 16,17(NIV)

verse#2: "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper."
Psalm 1:3 (NKJV)

The verse #1 is what I put as main words for the layout and the verse#2 is the support words. As you can see in the photos above, which shows the verse#2 as a tag, held by the main frame of verse#1(light green background).

I incorporated the 4 colors(blue, pink, purple and yellow/gold) of the TCR#41 among the mix of green,black and white. This is a wonderful color pallette and it is one of my favorites now.

Supplies:
papers - Close To My Heart(CTMH), Basic Grey
ink pad and Liquid Glass - CTMH
die cut - Martha Stewart Crafts
color spritz - Clearsnap
chipboard alpha(B) - K&Company
metal letters - Sticko
rhinestones - W2S
ribbons, trims, paper flowers - miscellaneous

a scrapbook page - "BIG little BOY"



Hello!
I'm posting tonight the page I created for Get Sketchy Scrapbooking. It is my first participation in this website. :)
The featured sketch has one of my favorite format for a 12" x 12" page, which is a great choice for projects with multiple photos to display and allows endless ways of photo/accent block combinations.
It has been a while (last July) since the day I got these photos from my iPhone to know later on that my son actually is the author of these images. Yes, my 3 yy. boy took these pictures on his own, in my classroom, when I was busy taking care of some paperworks.
For me, this is something I don't want to miss.
:)

Supplies:
papers: CTMH, Basic Grey, My Mind's Eyes
chipboard letters: K&Company, Making Memories
quote: Creative Memories
stickers and buttons: Mrs. Grossman's, others

Thanks for stopping by...

a scrapbook page - " FACES "


This is a page I made days before the passage of the year, using some of the B&W photos I have of my son.
Here is a brief about why I choose these images and the title:

"This layout was made to remember how my son is expressive and has so many fun faces for every situation. I love how spontaneous he is with whatever happens around."

I really like how the photos in these black and white hues gave me "freedom" to play with the colors. In this page I used the color scheme that I do not use often (yellow, brown and colors in between), but I really had fun putting these all together along with the vintage white acrylic paint to give the photos a framed look.
It was a quickly made page as I spent about 50 minutes, getting all the things I needed and putting on the paper.

Supplies:
papers: CTMH, Basic Grey
die cuts, alphabets, journaling spot and metal accent: Basic Grey, Making Memories
stamp pad: CTMH
marker: ZIG Millennium
acrylic paint; Plaid

Good night!

2011 new project #02 - ABC Scripture Pages "A"




Good Morning!
This is the very first layout of my other new project for 2011 called ABC Scripture Challenge, inspired by Patter Cross. She is such a talented lady! The objective of my challenge is to create a 6" x 6" layout every 2 week following the alphabet key word and to choose a Bible Verse with this word.
So "A" this week, is for ANCHOR.

My chosen Scripture:
"God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of hope set before us maybe greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an ANCHOR for the soul, firm and secure."
Hebrews 6: 18-19a

Supplies:
