IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE FRESH BREWED DESIGNS BLOG HOP GO HERE
Good morning, and welcome to the Facebook Design D.I.V.A.S "Oldies But Goodies" Blog Hop!!!
You should have arrived here from the ever so lovely and talented Maria ~ Joyful Stamper's Blog. If you didn't and arrived here first, then you will want to head on over to the start of the hop at Sue Morris' Beautiful (and just newly redesigned:) Blog. We will be hopping every third Wednesday of the month (so keep your eyes open for the next FB Design D.I.V.A.S hoppity hop). For January, we are celebrating the "oldies but goodies" that most (I think all) of us crafters have stashed away. I know that I do!!! Way too much in fact! All of the things I used for my project are ranging from 6 months to three years old. I buy things I love and then either do not know how to use them or hoard them afraid once I use it it will be gone, and that would just be tragic! lol! ;) I was happy to dig through my stash and find some neglected and passed over goodies.Good morning, and welcome to the Facebook Design D.I.V.A.S "Oldies But Goodies" Blog Hop!!!
I created this project using the sketch at Sweet Sunday Sketch 100 and the theme at Stampin Sisters in Christ. If you have not read their post this week, you really need to. The verse for the challenge this week is this:2 Cor.5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
It is a good reminder that we are all a work in progress. God is making us new every day; teaching us, guiding us, molding us and polishing away all the blemishes and scrapes that show up when we fall. He is always there to lift us up, dust us off, hug us, remind us of his love and give us all we need.
Materials for this project include
blank letter size writing pad
Fresh Brewed Designs digital image: Cutie Pie holding Heart (new today!)
Patterned paper: Colorbok (OLD!!)
Cardstock: Bazzil
white craft paint
swirly heart rubber stamp

Thank you so much for hopping with us today! I hope your day is blessed and happy. Your Next hop stop will be at Sharon Harnist's ever so beautiful blog= http://paperfections.typepad.com/ . I am sure she has some beautiful things stashed away waiting to make their big debut once again :)
Aw this is so cute!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. Love the soft colors.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! I bet your daughter just loves this (especially since Mommy made it!). Cutie Pie is so sweet with her adorable hair, glittery wings and that gorgeous dress! Love all of your doodles! What a great idea to use a paper pad...it will be a wonderful project to do for my grandkids. Love your "stash" stuff! I've been going through all of mine, and I really need to start using up some before I buy more. I love the crocheted hearts! I need to use some of my butterfly papers that I've been hoarding. One of them is like the one you use here. I really love seeing the old stuff, so I also get the inspiration to use some of mine! Can'[t wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteHugs! Lee

Adorable note pad! I love how you combined challenges too, that is awesome. Your daughter is adorable. Thanks so much for playing along.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, and such a great way to dress up those drab notebooks!
ReplyDeleteHeather, the only thing prettier than the notepad cover is your daughter! She's her mommy's girl! It's interesting that you did a notecard cover -- while digging through my dusty boxes I found one I did many Christmases ago and thought "why haven't I been making these?". Great minds, my dear, and a great idea!
