Balancing Life

It's Friday again! I'm so glad we are finally here. It's been a busy week for me and I'm sure it's been nothing less for you as well.

It's a new month and so there is a new sketch challenge at InStyle Stamps today. I say this every time, I think, but you have to go see some of the Design Team's creations, they are amazing! You can see them here, but only after you've seen someone new right here!


InStyle Stamps has a new line of stamps coming out this month. Her name is Chloe and in this digital stamp she's balancing very well an apple on her head. I needed to fit in another Mother's Day card before we celebrate this weekend, but I think she could be used for all a card or gift to give all of the hardworking teacher's in our nation. She's a cutie!



If you want to play with this versatile sketch don't forget to link it up at the InStyle Stamps blog here. You'll have a chance at a spiffy prize if you do-oo.

Have a splendid weekend, and for all of the mother's who are reading this before the weekend, I wish you a restful and beautiful Mother's Day.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
