God gives all birds their food...


but does not drop it into their nests. Danish Proverbs

At the beginning of the year I purchased some Layers Of Color stamps and stencil and while waiting for a few more to come back in stock I found out that something was a' stirring. A new adventure for the owner/artist, Laura Campbell, was being announced during CHA. She's going to discontinue her e-commerce site and start designing for Spellbinder's and a new line TBA, but also resident artist for a Redmond Wa. company called Imagine Crafts. Sometimes you have to go find those adventures and sometimes... they DO drop into your nest. I'm sure someday we'll get to hear the whole story from Laura.

For me, crafting time has not dropped into my nest so far this week. I had to go grab it last night because I've been catching up on house work and wrapping up some more promotional pieces for the women's conference in April. I hope to be able to get my craft room all cleared out for a craft night I'm hosting in a couple of weeks. It's those crazy fabulous artsy friends of mine that are coming, but my sister from Oregon will be here too! She's definitely got some artsy talent up her sleeve taking a quilt class from a popular designer that happens to be in Boise for the weekend. So, I've got to get more "inspiration" out of the room so we can create more of it! Isn't that how it always goes?

So, instead of clearing and cleaning it ALL up I just cleared a space and time for this card.


 I used a sketch blog I've been stalking from my fellow Diva's Amber and special guest Amy. It's from Jen Shult's Deconstructed Sketch. She always has the best constructed sketches.

Keep in mind...

Take the links to get inspired and enabled to create! I'll be back closer to the weekend with some challenge cards to share.

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...
