T Stands for Celebrations & Second on the 2nd

 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7 KJV

Good afternoon on the 2nd and almost TSFT.  I am scheduling the next two weeks blog posts, because I will be away from my computer, so we will see how that works!  

We will do the Second on the 2nd first.  I will show you a post for the second time and on the second.  Something fun that Elizabeth hosts over at Altered Book Lover.  It is always fun to see a post from the past! :)

So in case you missed it here is a post I did on the Magical Masking Tape Technique from June 2013.

Magical Masking Tape Technique

I have found another great technique!  All you need are ink pads and masking tape.  On this card I used SU! inks:  More Mustard, Crushed Curry and So Saffron. You tear off strips of masking tape and ink them up on the pad, and then put the tape on the card, and then lift off. It is a  wonderful color effect for a background!  I did that with three strips. You could do a background on the whole card doing this. Here is a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. On this card I used SU! Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.  I also colored directly on the stamp with markers before stamping it, so I could do the leaves with Old Olive and the trunk with Chocolate Chip, also SU! I hope you try this technique, so easy!   Have a great week-end!

And now to show some celebrations I attended this week which also includes my ticket to TSFT, also over at Altered Book Lover and also hosted by Elizabeth & (Bleubeard).  I don't want to forget Bleubeard!

I attended a few celebrations this week.  One was to surprise a friend for her 65th!  I loved the purple decorations!

I didn't realize this was so blurry. Sorry, but wanted to show the purple and the flowers.

Another was to celebrate a precious couple's 60th wedding anniversary!

I saved two napkins for crafting! LOL

We drank water rather than the lemonade.

The cake was delicious.  I had white, and hubby had the strawberry.

And this is after all a craft blog so I will share the card I made for this 60th anniversary.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great week!

WOYWW Happy 6th Year Anniversary!

 Col. 3:16-17 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God  and the Father, by him.
                                                

  Happy 6th Anniversary What's On Your Workdesk!  I haven't taken part for all that time, but already over two years! Hop over to Julia's Stamping Ground and congratulate her!  She has provided us with this fabulous Blog Hop where we have met a lot of friends from all over the world.  We get to look at each other's desks and enable each other in our crafts.
   So here is my desk this morning.  I have been scrapping a lot in the month of May.  Virtual Scrapbook Night  on Splitcoast Stampers has been celebrating the whole month of May as National Scrapbook Month with 3or 4  challenges every week-end!  I have completed about 11 pages or so I think. Anyway, working on another one below.  I have my list of chalenges on my desk to mark off as I do them.  Also, this week I completed my first Pop-Up Book Card!  I am not good at scoring and cutting special cards, but did this one for about 4 different challenges on Splitcoast Stamper.  I will send this one to one our Teapotters, because we are doing something called Tickle a Teapotter!
