Sunday School

General Conference

Highlights

(from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)

 
This weekend members of my faith around the world are spending today, and yesterday, listening to different leaders of our church (men & women) give 'talks' about essential Gospel principles.  You might think that listening to four 2-hour sessions over two days would get boring....but these wonderful speakers always add in some fun anecdotes to keep the lessons interesting.   I found the compilation of funny parts of talks entertaining.  I hope you will too.  Remember each speaker went on to talk about vital principles as well.

 After this video plays use caution in following other 

YouTube videos that may cast a shadow and drive

away the Spirit from your Sabbath day.

If you'd like to see what I am watching this weekend, check out BYUTV.com and search for LDS General Conference.  It will air live at Noon & 4 PM (EST)

A Happy Accident

One more Envelope

Yesterday's post showed the "Mom" envelope.  What you don't know is that I started out thinking I would make it with the Attic Boutique DSP.  When I cut it out I had planned to use the Pool Party color side of the paper...but look what happened when I made the envelope the other way...

Now you see why I said this was a 'happy accident'!  I fell in love with the envelope and knew I had to create a card to go with it.  Here's my card:

 These accidental wonderful outcomes are what makes paper crafting such a fun hobby!  Here are a few final photos for you today...

See you tomorrow . . . 

 

Early Mother's Day Idea

CASE'd from

Stampin' Up!

(Stampin' Success April, 2012 page 6)

 

Every month my mailbox get's a treat, Stampin' Success Magazine.  It's a magazine just for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and it's full of wonderful tips and Amazing Ideas!  


When I saw this envelope I knew I had to give it a try.  Of course I made mine with the Simply Scored & Diagonal Plate...like you didn't know. 

I used the Creative Elements stamp set, Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, and Pool Party card stock, Melon Mambo & Early Espresso ink, Subtles Designer Print Pack, Crochet Ribbon (Victoria), 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Linen Thread, Trinket Crowns, Scallop Circle, Eyelet Border & Bird Builder punches.  Edgelit die, Designer Frames Texture Embossing Folder & Timeless Type Jr. Alphabet die, and of course, my Big Shot and Simply Scored / Diagonal Plate tools.

I hope you like at much as I do.
