Life’s Too Short, Buy the Shoes!

1 Comment / Paper Crafting Ideas / / ,

This year’s after the holiday shopping looks so much different than last Christmas! It seems that many of the stores are not stocking their shelves, I guess that is a result of online shopping. Gone are the days of Mom and Pop stores and decorated store front windows, but hey there are still some sales to be had, especially in the shoe department because really who doesn’t need another pair of shoes? Even if you are still working from home……. Right?

Today’s card is all about the shoes and features the All Dressed Up Bundle!

  • Begin with a White card base 5½ x 8½”. Score in landscape position at 4¼”.
  • Layer a 4 x 5¼” piece of Night of Navy cardstock to the card front.
  • Stamp the shoe from the Dressed to Impress stamp set in Memento Black on Bumble Bee cardstock and using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine cut out with the shoe die from All Dressed Up. Repeat for second shoe.
  • To create shopping bags cut Crumb Cake cardstock and layer with any coordinating designer series paper or solid cardstock.
  • For the handles cut two pieces of linen thread approximately 1½” and adhere to the back of the shopping bag.  Decorate with a small amount of tissue paper.
  • Stamp sentiment in Night of Navy ink and layer on White cardstock, layering on a piece of Bumble Bee.
  • Arrange shopping bags, shoes and sentiment on card front.

Don’t forget about all the awesome sets on sale from the Aug-Dec. catalog, just a few more days to get those favorite sets.

The Holy Family – Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

Today is the Feast of the Holy Family and what a great time to give thanks for our own families. Sure we have all had our share of happy and sad times, but I think that is what makes a family holy, the ability to offer love and understanding in good times and in bad.

Even the Holy Family had it’s share of struggles, but they never gave up. They had to deal with Herod’s jealous and murderous rage, the secret flight to Egypt, that could not have been easy, and the resettlement in Nazareth, away from family and friends! But again, they never gave up and they persevered in love.

No family is perfect and all families face hardships, but it is how we handle these things that make the difference. It is how we draw strength from our Heavenly Father that gets us through the tough times. So let us all pray to be more kind and loving this year. Let us practice that selfless love that bears all things, hopes all things and forgives all things.

And on this Feast of the Holy Family, let us pray for all families to be united God’s perfect love and give thanks for one another as we humbly accept the mercy of our Lord and pray for peace this coming year.

Have a Blessed Sunday, I hope you will stop back tomorrow for some more crafting fun!
