World Cardmaking Day!

Saturday was World Cardmaking Day, but I had some activities planned with my family so we celebrated early.  I got together with some friends on Friday night (despite the storms) and crafted.  We stamped and played with shaving cream.  It was fun, especially with a certain 7 year old boy in attendance---he loved the shaving cream!  Here are samples of the cards we created...

Thank you to those who came out to celebrate with me!  If you missed this event and want to learn how we did this, come to my next class and you can check it out.

Love Your Pastor!

Loving my pastor comes natural for me, since I married him.  But there are other pastors in the church that need to feel the love also, and this is the month to show it.  October is Pastor Appreciation month---so go show your pastor some love!  Let him know that you are praying for him and that you appreciate his service.

Here's a pic of the gift I made this week  for our Senior Pastor to let him know we love and support him.  I used My Digital Studio to create this and then added a few embellishments after I printed it.

I am still experimenting with photographing art behind glass.  It is kind of tricky and I haven't gotten it down yet, as you can see from the slightly blurred  photo.  I would like to blame the camera, but it was probably user error.  I tried many techniques---you should have seen me with a black sheet draped over me to hide my reflection in the glass!  Finally I took it outside, without the black sheet, and felt it was adequate despite the visible reflection.

I hope this inspires you to do something nice for the leaders in your church.  :)
