Update....

     Well,

         H E L L O Ladies,

Long time no blog, TeeHee,  just a little update on what's been going on....I took a break from blogging/youtube/challenges/and crafting in general....It was getting a little overwhelming and frankly

was taking too much time from family, but especially my spiritual time.  I will not jeopardize my "spirit well-being" for crafting, no matter how much I do enjoy crafting.  But just to show you what I had previously

completed, I will be loading some pictures.  I hope you enjoy them and I'll be posting soon my  ABC Scripture Challenge Cards.

I pray ya'll have an awesome week and especially a Blessed Thanks Giving Day.

Be Blessed,

  Norma

These are the pictures for my "Vintage Tag Swap" at A Lil Scrap of Heaven.ning.

I had so much fun creating these tags....first of all I got to use my new Tim Holtz Tag die, second I had to paint, which I love, and I also used my Tim Holtz Dressform die...so much fun.  I pray all my group members like their card.  I'll probably be taking a break from these swaps, because I went a little crazy for the month of  September, I have like 5-6 swaps, plus my weekly challenges....so much to do, not enough time.

So for now I'll be posting a few of my current challenges, definitely going back to the ABC Scripture Challenge, I committed myself to it, and I will complete it.  In Jesus Name.

Well ladies, must leave for now, but for my next sneak peek.......

As always...... Be Blessed.

I like doing these kinds of swaps...so easy and believe it or not you can get creative with them.
Till next time....B Blessed

Hello Ladies,
   I don't know about you, but I've been having problems with blogger, every time I want to leave a comment on a blog I have to do it under Anonymous...that stinks, LOL.  Anyways, been busy this weekend, working on a lot of videos for my YouTube channel.  Just tried to finish my swaps for June and starting on the last ones for July, I don't want to be late.
   So here is the video for the Smash/Junque Journal Swap... this was hosted by Gina (scrapinology) at My Scrap Room.ning... Had a ton of fun making it... I had already made a couple mini ones, so this it my first full size journal...I pray my partner likes it.  Well, ya'll have a great week and hope to hear from you soon.

Take Care.

Hello Ladies,  
   Well, I pray you all had an awesome and safe 4th of July weekend.  As for me and my family, we had a typical quiet weekend.  Today actually was the busies, with groceries and Michael's (20% everything) and I also went to the post office to mail out my latest swaps.   The first swap was for A Lil Scrap of Heaven, I participated in Kimberly's Image Tag Swap, my first swap of this kind, had soooo much fun with it.  You just stamp ten tags with your first image and ten more with your second image, put them in a plastic baggie, and your done...so easy and fun.  My second swap from A Lil Scrap of Heaven was Cynthia's Flower Swap, this was also my first time doing a flower swap, I was nervous because, even though this flower is made with your personal taste, you want to make sure you also consider other peoples.  Well, anyways, these flowers took me a few days to complete, but I love them.  My third and final swap mailed out was for My Scrap Room, hosted by Gina/Scrapinology, this was a one on one Junque Journal Swap.  I received my partners journal within 10 day of the partner's name posted, so I was in a time crunch, even though I still had plenty of time to mail out, I wanted to do it as soon as possible, I pray my partner will like it, based on the one she sent me, this was more of a writing journal, but I did embellish each page by using my homemade glimmer spray.  I did my best with what I had, I didn't purchase anything for it, as I understood it a Junque Journal allows you to use those old scraps of papers you have, maybe some mismatched trims and stickers, old chipboard pieces that you don't necessary would use otherwise in other projects....everything and anything goes, I love that concept, I definitely will be making another full size one for myself.
   Wow I think this is the longest post ever !!!   I hope I didn't loose anyone, Tee Hee.
Well let me let you go to your next blog, enjoy the coming week, may it be blessed by the Lord's hand.
xoxo
