Mixed-Media Journal

Good morning! I spent most of the day yesterday taking another mixed-media class at Cootie Coo Creations in High Springs, Florida. Our teacher was Terry Pattie. She is amazing and I enjoy learning from her, she is a fantastic teacher! 

It takes about 3 hours to do two pages like this. Each page has about 10 or more layers of paint, stamps, inks, pan pastels, papers, etc, etc, etc.

Voila! This is the end result.

Another talented dear friend (Debbie Cox) made me this beautiful hand-crocheted cover for my bible. I love the colors!!!!

I love to share all of my projects with you because there's sooooo much talent out there!!!!

Thanks for visiting today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Tea Party Crop

Happy Monday! Hope that you had a fabulous weekend and that your favorite football team won the Super Bowl.  I spent Saturday croppin' at Paula Luvs 2 Stamp located in Wildwood, Florida.  She hosted a Tea Party Crop and we all got to wear hats.  Since I did not have one.  I went to several stores and even the Goodwill to find one.

The ones that I found were way too expensive so I decided to make my own. I borrowed a simple straw hat from my neighbors's little daughter and used vintage flowers, laces, rhinestones, pearls, ribbons and anything else I could find in my Shabby Chic boxes. Guess what? I won!!!

Here I am with Paula and my friend Jean.

And here I am with my winning hat!

My prize was a goody bag full of scrapping supplies!

And here's a layout of mine where I can scrap all of the pictures from the tea party.

Now, of course, I brought the hat home with me and hung it up in my studio.  You never know when I'm going to need some of the lace or ribbon for a layout!

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Baseball News

Good morning! Finally,  today is the last day of January. My calendar says day 31 but I think it should say day 745. It seems like January went on forever and a day!

Well, it's finally official. Our son Danny will be playing for the Yankees this upcoming baseball season. This is what he posted on his Instagram:

I know that it has been the Lord Almighty who healed him and the power of prayer and love from everyone. We are soooo super happy for him! He will be at Spring Training in Tampa which is only 2 hours from us so we get to see him and his family for 6 long weeks. 

Love is in the Air

Good morning!  We're just a few days away from February and you know what holiday we celebrate during February, don't you?  No, not Groundhog Day!  Valentines Day!

I've already published one Valentines Day scrapbooking kit and have several more on the way.  Here is the one that's for sale on our web page https://www.amazinggracepapercrafts.com/.

And here are some perfect photos for this layout, our son Danny and  his wife Lexie and our daughter Valerie and her husband George.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day.
