My 2016 Favorite Projects
Today's post is a recap of my favorite projects created during 2016. This is always hard for me because I can't really judge my own work subjectively.
\
Although I haven't crafted as much in 2016 as in past years, I still enjoy this wonderful hobby. The cardmaking community is a close knit one and I am happy to be a part of it. I pray that your 2017 is filled with joy, spirituality and good health.
As it should be, my design teams feature prominently in my favorites, The Cat's Pajamas and Purple Onion Designs.
And here are a few from some of my other favorite stamp companies:

My 2015 Favorite Projects
Today's post is a quick recap of my favorite projects created for 2015. This has become a year end tradition for the cardmaking bloggers and I am happy to participate. 2015 has been a challenging year for me personally so I am praying for better days in 2016. God has a plan for me although I don't always realize it until after the fact.
Naturally my design teams feature prominently in my favorites, The Cat's Pajamas and Purple Onion Designs.
Thank you so much for being a part of my little corner of the blog world. I wish all of you a year of good health, prosperity and happiness.

2015 Goals and Something New
Warning: today's post is totally random and if you are looking for a card only, then you will be disappointed.
First of all, I want to list my 2015 goals here ( I prefer goals as opposed to resolutions). Not because I think you are interested in my life choices but simply as a way to hold myself accountable.
Life goals:
Crafty goals:
Do those sound doable? I think they do. Now on to the crafty stuff.
With today's project I am blurring the lines between my life and crafty goals. Sometime late last year I ran across Shanna Noel's blog quite by accident and discovered the art of Bible Journaling. I quickly added her blog to my reader and searched on Pinterest for ideas. Oh my. So much to take in. I was excited to get started but...wait...needed a journaling bible first, then some other supplies, then Christmas happened. So, I just now got my first page completed this week. I recently joined a Facebook Group that Shanna has set up Journaling Bible. It seems to be a nice group yet it can be intimidating. There are some true artists out there. I consider myself creative but definitely not artistic. My background is scrapbooking and stamping so that is the tools I used to create this jounal entry.
I chose this page to start with because this is actually one of my favorite bible verses and, it was included on a life application message at our church on December 21. I started out by painting a thin coat of Liquitex Matte Gel Medium to curb bleed through to the back page. I then stamped the Verve Psalm 119:105 sentiment onto the page and also the candle from the Pinecone Christmas set and then colored where needed with Copic Markers. I added part of the life application message from my notes that day using some tiny letter stickers from my scrapbook stash. I highlighted the verse with Copics and then added a spritz of V12 Copic marker across the page using my old Stampin' Up Spritzer tool. Simple is normally my style anyway but I definitely went even simpler since this was my first page.
I realize that a Christian related hobby is not for everyone and I also realize that some Christians are going to consider that I am defacing the bible. But to be perfectly honest although I understand the basics of the bible I have not ever been much of a regular reader. Oh sure, certain verses strike a cord with me but to sit down and actually read and study it has been a struggle. I feel that by combining a hobby that I already love to do with the reading of God's word will help me grow spiritually (see my life goals above). Is it for everyone? No. And that is ok.

Life goals:
- Continue on my weight loss/healthier life style plan for life

- Read the bible more
- Pray
- Organize, purge and refresh our house
Crafty goals:
- Use my stuff
- Join more challenges
- Organize and purge
- Try new things
Do those sound doable? I think they do. Now on to the crafty stuff.

2015$ - Two Thousand Fifteens
Thank you for joining us today for 2015$ - Two Thousand Fifteens, a fundraising effort to help the Masse Family fund their adoption of a little girl with special needs from China! To read more about the Masses and their adoption journey, please visit www.masseadoption.blogspot.com. There are in excess of 150,000,000 orphans in this world today!! That number is staggering and can seem quite overwhelming, but with your help, the Masses are excited to make that number ONE LESS! "No ONE person can do everything, but we can all do ONE thing!"Here's the challenge:
- The Masses are looking for 2000 people to make a one-time donation of $15.00 to their YouCaring adoption site.
- Once you have completed your donation, please SHARE this event with your contacts, your FB friends, family, etc. The more people who see this, the greater chance we have to reach the goal of 2000 $15.00 donations!
- PRIZES: For every 50 donations made, they are gifting an exclusive, handmade Bracelets For One to a randomly drawn winner!! (Check out their Bracelets For One FB page if you're interested in purchasing a beautiful bracelet! All proceeds from your purchase go to their adoption fund!)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and consider this worthy cause, for donating if you are able and for sharing this event. Visit the 2015$ event page on FB to track the progress!
On a personal note, Julie is a beautiful soul with a loving family home and I hope that you will consider helping her family out as they go through their adoption process.

My Favorite 2014 Projects
I hope your Christmas or Hanukkah celebrations were everything you wanted them to be. Our Christmas was lovely, filled with family, a beautiful candlelight Christmas Eve service at our church, a bit of chaos, great food, adult beverages, movies and laughter. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Unfortunately there hasn't been much crafting going on around here. Everything you have seen on my blog since around the first week in December was completed and set up for automatic blog posting. I craft out of my dining room so everything had to be stored away for the holidays. I say every year that I am going to store in a more organized manner but as per usual I stuck it anywhere I could find a place, a closet, attic, cabinet, under the bed, etc. It will take me the entire month of January to get it all back where I need it!
Before I look ahead to 2015, I would like to share fourteen of my favorite 2014 projects with you.
