</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is with sadness and bittersweet feelings that we need to say goodbye to an amazing period that was born in February 2010 with a bunch of good friends. Toccara, Theresa and my self! We were 4 crafters willing to have fun and help bring ideas and inspiration to many crafters all around the world (thanks to the Internet...)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A few more crafters joined during these 2 years: Sandy, Lori, Lora, Susan, Pam, Alecia, Vanessa, Stephanie, Yolie, Jessica, Michelle and Liz (I really hope am not missing anyone)! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I want to give HUGE THANKS to each and all of you for being part of CSDivas for the period you were part of the Design Team. We learned from each other, we supported each other and we had so much fun together. I can't imagine CSDivas without each of your contributions, we made a terrific Team. And am glad to say that personally I made a a bunch of very good friends and that I don't discard the idea of meeting in person some day with a few of you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, after thinking deeply we came to the decision of closing the blog. The main reason is that our hectic lifes are getting in the middle of our crafty/blogging goals and we need to take care of our Families and other life areas. We don't discard the idea of re-grouping on a later date. The blog will remain open, we would just don't post anymore. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will continue posting Project 12 Challenge on my personal blog: <a href="http://www.creativedesignsbyluisa.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1333046835_0">http://www.creativedesignsbyluisa.com</span></a> and will love to have you continue with the challenge with me. I will also contiue sharing Project Life pages and the Divas Getting Organized challenge with a few changes! Am also in search of Guest Bloggers for my blog if you are interested.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will like to keep in touch with you via our blogs, Facebook, email or any other communication way. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Wishing all of you all the best and sending blessings your way, goodbye CSDivas Blog and CSDivas friends,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Here at the Mansion, we have all come to a mutual decision, that it is in the best interests of us all, to step down from our Blog right now. The Creative Scrapbooking Divas were the first group of lovely ladies I had the pleasure of getting to know when I first started blogging and crafting in Blog Land with others. They have all been a FANTASTIC group and I am ecstatic to say that I have made some awesome friendships along the way. However, personal time constraints and dreams of future endeavors is prohibiting us from making the Mansion all that it can be right now. We have enjoyed every moment giving tours at The Mansion along this journey. The dedication of our close followers and friends has been amazing. You have all made us feel welcomed and loved and we hope that you will continue to follow our personal blogs. Now, we are not demolishing the Mansion entirely. The Blog will still be open for followers and friends to view all of the fun resources that have been piled together since the start of this blog. Please continue to feel welcome to peek about and get ideas for your own creative journeys. I do not want to say a farewell to all of you personally, because I know that I will see you in Blog Land and continue to build everlasting friendships.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Please visit me here:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://jessicascraftshaque.blogspot.com/">Jessica's Craft Shaque</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #45818e; text-align: center;"><b>Sincerely,</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">Jessica Shelton</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Hello all you Divas!! It is with sadness that I write this. I have really enjoyed my time with the Creative Scrapbooking Divas and meeting all of you wonderful ladies! I want to thank you CSD for giving me the opportunity to be on the Design Team and serving along side you beautiful gals! It has been a true pleasure sharing my passion of paper crafting. I hope you all understand our reasons for closing up shop. I for one was stepping down due to life just getting too busy and having to reassess my priorities. I hope that this isn't truly goodbye and that I will still see all you gals around. Please feel free to visit my blog<br />

I've decided today will be DIGI Thursday for my creating inspirations... <br />
<br />
I had a very dear friend who got the nasty flu and needed a pick me up! Along came my Ducky theme card. Over at Cleardollarstamps.com they have the greatest Digi stamps. All affordable and easy to use.. <br />
<br />
I sent this card to cheer a friend.. but remember just because my friend is female doesn't mean with a little color change this wouldn't be a fabulous card for any male in your life...<br />
<br />

She is always peeking around the corner when I am browsing through all of my digi images. Her soft, sweet, little voice always asks "can you make me a picture to color mommy?"</div><div style="text-align: center;">This gave me an idea . . . why not make her very own coloring book with some of the</div><div style="text-align: center;">girly images she loves so much.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I started with Medium Chipboard and printed out 8 images</div><div style="text-align: center;">from various artists:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://shop.meljensdesigns.com/">Meljen Designs</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://cutedaisymay.blogspot.com/">Whoopsi Daisy</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thepapershelter.blogspot.com/">The Paper Shelter</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.craftysentiments.blogspot.com/">Crafty Sentiments</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">and </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bearyduststamps.blogspot.com/">Beary Dust Stamps</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I printed 4 images to one page, leaving the images to measure 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 after being cut. This gave me the opportunity to cut my chipboard a bit larger so that the coloring pages fit inside comfortably.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used a hole punch to cut 5 holes across the top of the front and back covers to be able to feed ribbon through later. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHnG1iEN-sjNzJkTS9An8GCwP7_9D5b6eGO9gEsF_ZiLyekjqn7krg1bKQSFPEvmCq5m324ThYV-6RPO3lxb8sfngAx7qjZoPY90Ax_Rvxk3HFTAv94tpVqYbnoY92XGzzX0B9jA8szm4/s1600/coloring+book+mini+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHnG1iEN-sjNzJkTS9An8GCwP7_9D5b6eGO9gEsF_ZiLyekjqn7krg1bKQSFPEvmCq5m324ThYV-6RPO3lxb8sfngAx7qjZoPY90Ax_Rvxk3HFTAv94tpVqYbnoY92XGzzX0B9jA8szm4/s320/coloring+book+mini+001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I have had a busy busy week.. I am making my post short and sweet this week.. I am sharing two pages from my Scrapbook... I have had a fun time scrapping my nephews bday.. Always remember no matter how far behind you may get it is extremely worth it to scrapbook and re live those special moments you capture on camera.. <br />
I treasure all the moments and journal and keep notes on the events.. It's easy to do if you print your pictures and sort them in a box so when you have time you can feel organized and ready to go... <br />
<br />
Happy Scrapping all.. <br />

The Month of March is the season of Green.. at least for me.. I was thinking of what my post would be on today and saw a beautiful patterned paper in my collection and thought.. YAY! Green.. <br />
<br />
I encourage you to choose a stamp set or two and get your dies out and make a card in multiples. It really is the best way to make sure you never forget an occasion or remember to thank someone. If you have cards on hand you tend to be quicker on sending that special note right when you think of it instead of waiting until you have some craft time.. <br />
<br />
I chose a sentiment stamp from Verve Stamps and the flower used is a stamp/die set from heartfelt creations and spellbinders.. <br />
the label used is Spellbinders also.. <br />
<br />
I simply took 3 sheets of paper, green, vanilla and my pattern paper and cut them done to size for layering.. I normally just eyeball this with my paper cutter. <br />
<br />

Luisa again... today is time to share Project Life layouts and sketches! Ready...<br />
<br />
These are January sketch and color combination:<br />

<br />
I almost forgot about the green color and added at the last moment the green borders and changed the banner color to green!<br />
As you can see I don't follow the sketch exactly. I make it work for my pictures and my style.<br />
This year I decided to use this Monthly Journaling long blocks. Am using them for two reasons:<br />
1) Consistensy in my layouts.<br />
2) I don't have to worry about the Title anymore.<br />
<br />
Also, since the journaling block has numbered lines from 1-8 I will try to limit my pictures to 8. Not sure I will always be able to, but will try (lol)!<br />
<br />
Just a reminder, here are February's sketch and color combination:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Also, please be noticed I will be flexible with the use of the color combo. But, if you do use it, you will get an extra ticket.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And since it's March already, here are MARCH sketch and color combo:</div><br />

Love the twist of adding grey color to yellow/green/pink! What do you think?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">REMEMBER: If you use the color combination you get an extra point.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">Great Sunday to you my crafty friends! I’m Beckie of <a href="http://justbcreativecrazy.blogspot.com/">Just B Creative Crazy</a>. I have been invited to join you as March’s Guest Design Team Member. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">I am so super excited to have been invited to share every Sunday in March with you! YAY! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">Here’s a little bit about me…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #bf00bf; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;"><i><b>How long have you been scrapbooking</b></i>? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">Though I have been crafting off and on my entire life, I have only found paper-crafting since last September. I instantly fell in love and am totally loving blogging :0D<br />
<br />
<i><b>What is your scrapbook style? </b></i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">I don’t know that I have a specific style. I just get an idea in my head and go with it. I guess usually I lean toward fun and cheery.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Where do you create your projects? </b></i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">Ha ha…right now my craft space is a corner in my bedroom. It’s a cute little set up with a computer station and craft table. Don’t need much space to have a blast ;0)<br />
<br />
</span><i><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">What are your favorite scrapbooking tools/colors/techniques?</span></b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">I simply love digital stamps and glitter. I do love to create with my Cricut, too. Being so new to paper-crafting there is a lot out there that I have yet to try…but I am venturing out everyday.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Where do you find inspiration? </b></i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">My inspiration comes from fellow bloggers ! I love looking around and seeing the awesome talent displayed by all the friends I have made. <br />
<br />
<i><b>What is favorite scrapbooking tip?</b></i><span style="color: #bf00bf;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">There are so many tips, I just don’t know if one can answer. I guess the most handy tip I discovered is wet wipes! You can use ‘em for so much. I just love it.<br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
<br />
Enough about me let’s get to the projects….</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">Since I’m gonna be with you the whole month of March, I’ve decided my monthly theme will be HAPPY! Today I wanna share a “Happy St. Patty’s Day” Card. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">Here is my card…</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI236WkaHKTDmV5LMPGvVhTrExavMPU82gyy6RGFK8PMiHUmb9IkYv3Z51hAhfachnNYXMzM2Z08QNVrD7iRrVbsrywz9wmnyDGifaLrYmGnGwLtgC35e9lz5pGJ6AZ8mmH1GRaxaWDYE/s1600/Beckie+Woodall+card+3-04-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI236WkaHKTDmV5LMPGvVhTrExavMPU82gyy6RGFK8PMiHUmb9IkYv3Z51hAhfachnNYXMzM2Z08QNVrD7iRrVbsrywz9wmnyDGifaLrYmGnGwLtgC35e9lz5pGJ6AZ8mmH1GRaxaWDYE/s320/Beckie+Woodall+card+3-04-12.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS";"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">I used the Spring Holiday Cards Cartridge. I cut everything at 5”. Then I accented with white gel roll pen.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 14pt;">Hope you’ve found some inspiration in my card. I would like to invite you to play along in a <b style="background-color: #93c47d;">month-long challenge</b>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Do you ever go to your local Craft/Scrapbook Store and as you are browsing you pick up some </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
item that wasn't on the list of things you were planning to purchase? Of course, we all have done that! Only to come home and to realize you have that already and you haven't even used it???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Now I am sure we have all done that at least once! Well I have done that quite a few times!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this leads me to the question.........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />How do you keep track/inventory of all your goodies??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Here is a solution my sister found in the iTunes App Store! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because of course.......THERE IS AN APP FOR THAT!! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://mat.buddy.com/krafts/Krafts/Home.html"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRai0QgtzJcynkICmFJ93DIkXkJNFe4jvCVBKPsDpM_i6MFRhpZPTxdTkxuPPYRjiqQm3MGmgCsMnrkR1KpRB7H8t7rAkI5w9JE2z6Q1qyRZvnxvj_hIGpQ5NykfsNPbqFIU2q9RU_0A0/s200/Krafts.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope some of you can take advantage of this app. So far its working for my sister and I. It's just</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
time consuming to inventory everything. But in the end it will be worth it. You can also organize your projects in progress, ideas etc. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now onto my card.........</div>

Happy March ladies.. I hope you Feb was fantastic and you were able to craft and get creative.. <br />
<br />
I was creating with one of my newest Stamp sets from Unity and thought I'd share with you how I get some ideas and what the benefit is.. <br />
<br />
I sometimes sketch out my card layout the way I want it to look and then pick a stamp set to put it all together.. This is very helpful for time management especially if you are making several cards for a specific occassion or just to have on hand for those special everyday moments. <br />
<br />
Here is the sketch I did for today's post.. PLEASE note I am not a good artist. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I saw this set and loved it for the versatility and flare.. I chose two color themes and got started..

<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hello Divas, Luisa here.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It is my pleasure today to present you a post written by a very Special Diva, our Lisa West. Lisa is a very creative and talented Diva that has been a follower of CSDivas for a while. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">She has graciously offer to do a post for us about Faithbooking. (Am working in convincing her to do a monthly post with us, ssshhhh is a secret!!!).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here is Lisa's guest post:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I finally had a chance to check out <span style="font-size: 100%; font-style: normal;">several Faithbooks created by</span><span style="font-size: 100%; font-style: normal;"> </span><span style="font-size: 100%; font-style: normal;">a Creative Memories consultant friend of mine</span><span style="font-size: 100%;">. I have used verses and quotes in the past within my pages but I have never designed an </span><b><i style="font-size: 100%;">entire scrapbook</i><span style="font-size: 100%;"><i> specifically for t</i></span></b><span style="font-size: 100%;"><i><b>he sake of the inspirational message</b>.</i> The book is </span><b style="font-size: 100%;">designed around the quotes</b><span style="font-size: 100%;"> instead of the pictures. This makes it really fun to match up any picture you feel coordinates with the quote for that page.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font: 100% Georgia, serif;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<div style="font: 100% Georgia, serif;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You start with a smaller book, I used an 8x8, and one pack of pages if you are using the Creative Memories book.</span></div>

<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There are several quotes, books or messages you can design your Faithbook around. Here are the directions to the one I just recently finished.</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The<b> first page </b>is for centering Psalm 139:13-16 with some special embellishments. I chose not to include a picture on this page.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then there are 21 lines therefore, 21 pages... not including your first page with Psalm 139:13-16. </span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The</span><b> first full lay-out</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> starts the 20 lines of quotes. It works out perfectly as the</span><b> backside of the</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><b>last page</b>, number 21, is for the author's name with another picture of your choice. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i><b>Here are the 20 lines. </b></i>See below for my examples of how to incorporate them into the lay-outs.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You are who you are for a reason </span><br />
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You're part of an intricate plan</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You're a precious and perfect unique design</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Called "God's special woman or man"</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You look like you look for a reason</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our god made no mistake</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He knit you together within the womb</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You're just what He wanted to make!</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The parents you had were the ones He chose</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And no matter how you feel</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">They were custom designed with Gods plan in mind</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And they bear the Master's seal</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">No, that trauma you faced was not easy</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And God wept that it hurt you so</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But it was allowed to shape our heart</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So that into His likeness you'd grow</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You are who you are for a reason</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You've been formed by the Master's rod</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You are who you are beloved,</span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Because there is a God!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here are a few examples:</span></div>

I didn't want to take away from the point of the book. This lay-out above has pre-made frames but none of other pics had matting. Simple. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Another idea for you...Max Lucado has a children's book, "Just in Case You Ever Wonder", this concept could be created on. It starts out "Long long ago, God made a decision"..."He made the decision to make you". What a special little book that would make.</span></div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The CSDivas have been an avid part of who I am as a crafter and creator and have helped me grow tremendously over the last year. Since they are so warm and inviting, I wanted to share their encouragement with Teresa, my BFF. So for today, I am showcasing a few crafty projects she completed. She doesn't have a blog yet (but this is on my to do list to help her out...he he he). <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">She was visiting this weekend to celebrate the 4 birthdays that took place this month just in our house....LOL. Haylee is now 2, Lance Jr. is now 5, I just turned 30 something, with the DH, Lance a day behind me turning 30 something as well. Teresa and I have always shared compassion for art and I was blown away when she arrived today.

Post 4Hello All:<br /> <br />Well, due to circumstances beyond my control, I didn't do the project I had in mind. It is only half completed, but I just ran out of time. So instead, here is a little box that I gave to all the secretaries in our department for Administrative Professionals Day two years ago.<br /> <br />I wrapped Hershey's nuggets and stamped "great job" in purple ink. I also made a 3X3X1 box.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/104697066433778080700/MichelleSHappyScrappyPlace?authkey=Gv1sRgCOz6xqCF87H6rQE#5713454599420952034'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp-V_CVUU_0p0qeT11MujgOOo4BePOQRAB1YqZrc4Ybt1LaPofnnzVYKPm4gs_Pln2GxlE0FUg9IbDXj-baDA1MIACPqAsQ4_9xBoFc6MeJroEuXSCjk0U_L2-a4MImpMEVGAVSSuio6G2/s288/4.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /> <br />I covered the bottom and the top of the boxes with DS paper I cut out with Spellbinders Labels 3.

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I needed a mat that I could use my embossing gun with and I ran across one I could make. First I used very heavy/thick chipboard. This one was the back part of an embellishment pack.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxL-0M7QAwTUks8QV9W-ZEFbu4UqoFrx1eZWt58bemnA8KwSywGMQQbh_vqRGCMCYgFMR5Qfe5jEkVSYnJd6JEuzn0PFnCE3bkKmU040JzGExI82YktoSLfLDmxmSUBEG22s8RIZgF2zwV/s1600/DSCN1303.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxL-0M7QAwTUks8QV9W-ZEFbu4UqoFrx1eZWt58bemnA8KwSywGMQQbh_vqRGCMCYgFMR5Qfe5jEkVSYnJd6JEuzn0PFnCE3bkKmU040JzGExI82YktoSLfLDmxmSUBEG22s8RIZgF2zwV/s320/DSCN1303.JPG" wt="true" /></a></div>Next take some aluminum foil (I used name brand). Cut the size of the board plus a little extra for folding.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaMIjSKpaqN4IKQzeuK2q49AMJSa-6-uCcNZiBrtn_yAeoRwGpruxDnrsGm2w8jkSOprBGm8mzwoTcPT47TH3MWUhMohf1WJgjF9HB_KWkaS9Avgq1ukTuTSlHKyUaFfJx4LyjCZKAhstU/s1600/DSCN1304.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaMIjSKpaqN4IKQzeuK2q49AMJSa-6-uCcNZiBrtn_yAeoRwGpruxDnrsGm2w8jkSOprBGm8mzwoTcPT47TH3MWUhMohf1WJgjF9HB_KWkaS9Avgq1ukTuTSlHKyUaFfJx4LyjCZKAhstU/s320/DSCN1304.JPG" wt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I folding the foil around the cardstock, like I was wrapping a present. I taped the flaps down on the back side.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I also use a wood skewer/tooth pick to help hold my paper in place so it didn't blow away. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5
