An Organizing Challenge: Project Pretty

Image
An Organizing Challenge: Project Pretty : Random fact you may not know about me.... I am competitive. Just ask the hubs. We play card and board games frequently and it always gets heated... And if he ever seems doubtful about my abilities or ideas {not that he ever would be, ha}, I always reply with, "Is that a challenge?!" Sometimes, that challenge is just what this competitive girl needs to light that fire and just do it already. Where am I going with all this? I mentioned that I want this blog to be full of big and small projects. Since we are working on renovating our lower level, it seems like we have been tackling a lot more large scale items. I miss working on the little things. Covering soup cans and cardboard boxes, painting, mod podging.... I miss it all like crazy. So, I am challenging myself, and asking you to join me! Boxes, canisters, trays and bins beware... you are getting some LOVE! Let's make some pretty storage. I am not talking about whipping ...

Nate's ABC's/Boots

Nate's ABC's/Boots : Welcome to Bitten By the Bug2 and our weekly challenge. It's Carole, and I am the hostess for the week. I asked the design team to create from Nate's ABC's and to use the garden boot cut. There are many boots on other cartridges: Create a Critter, Everyday Paper Dolls, Freshly Picked, and there are boots that can be decorated with the garden theme. I picked this cut because we are so anxious for Spring to arrive. You do not need to have the selected cartridge. Please join in on our challenge, upload your boot project through Mr. Linky, link back to the specific card on your blog and give BBTB2 a mention. Please make your project a new creation.

Envirotex Lite And The Dollar Store Butterfly

Image
Follow Here:  Envirotex Lite And The Dollar Store Butterfly : Last year she made a necklace that featured a butterfly I glazed with Envirotex Lite. I found another one on a recent trip to the dollar store and decided to make a second piece. The butterfly is made with feathers and appears to be hand painted. I am so surprised that this only cost $1. When I brushed on a glaze of Envirotex Lite resin the paint really popped. I let this side of the butterfly cure for 24 hours. Then I painted on a glaze layer to the back side. This will make my butterfly much stronger and I neglected to do that the first time I made a resin butterfly. When the backside was cured I applied a third glaze, just to the front side. My butterfly is very strong now! This necklace is a showstopper! If you want to read more about other items I have glazed with resin check out this post .

Revelations  19:7- 13  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.  And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.  His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name wri...

Organization Week: Products to Organize Your Scrapbook Supplies Romans 8:33-39 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
