Blog Hop Fun

We are celebrating that God has blessed My Paper Treehouse with an awesome design team.  Please hop along with us and visit each of the DT members. If you get lost or just found the hop start here.  Each of the DT members have a wonderful story to share with you about what God has done and is doing in their lives... these are God's fingerprints.  Not only do we have a ton to share with you but there are RAKs along the way, a Great Blog Hop Challenge with a prize and a wonderful Grand Prize from Artful Delight.

Here is my God story:

I came to know the Lord at the age of 19 after a very long depression.  I had come to the end of my rope and figured it would be better for the world and I that I did not exist.  I had decided then to attempt to commit suicide and the Lord intervened in such a marvelous way that even the depression was removed from my life.  Since then I have tried to live solely for Him, and I must admit that the closer I get to Him the more I see how much of a failure I am apart from Him.

Recently the Lord has really been teaching me about the importance of living boldly before Him and an unbelieving world.  I have chosen to step out in faith and trust that living fully for Him is the right way to do things.  I have let go of anything that does not help me accomplish this and have seen the Hand of the Lord perform miracles I never imagined.. I can't wait to see what He will be doing through me as He works with me..

Here is the line up:
1. My Paper Tree House Blog

What I have been up to...

I am very tired, so this post will be mainly pictures...  :) These are some of the layout I have been working on for classes and kits...  The Paper Piecing ones were created using patterns from www.myscrapchick.com.  Thanks for looking!

I have been busy with the challenges at My Paper Tree House.  You can check the newsletter of the week here.

Love in Christ,

Nana

He will give us rest!

Have you ever had a terrible week right after you thought to yourself, "My life cannot get any better..." LOL  I need to learn and continually remind myself that the Lord only fills me in order to pour me out again.  When He Chooses to pour me out, I find great comfort in knowing that He (Himself) will give me rest! :)  May you find rest in Him this week...

I created this layout using one of Shawn's wonderful sketches:

Go over to Nuts about Sketches and play with us!

Love in Christ,

Nana

PS: This layout is also used for the following challenges:

My Paper Tree House

Fantabulous Cricut

Color Combos Galore

Swing Your Heart Out

I am absolutely in love with language.  I love the fact that through it I acquire knowledge, I am able to communicate with those I love, I am able to discover what I fear and don't enjoy.  I have had the privilege this year to work with an outstanding group of students that also are falling in love with language. :)  They think it is so much fun to insert an "and" instead of a "but" and see how the entire sentence acquires a new meaning.  I think it is the same in our daily lives with many things...  It takes but a second to change the definition of many "well-known" concepts, yet there is one that has always remained the same since I came to know the Lord: NOTHING ELSE MATTERS BUT HIM!

With this in mind I created this layout for my children.  I want them to know that everything they do must be done wholeheartedly.. even swinging from a swing at the park. :)  In the journaling I have included the following:
"Oh, that you may know Him and the power of His resurrection-that you may press on toward the upward call of God in Jesus Christ.  (Philippians 3:10, 13-14)"

My desire is that the Lord would be everything to my children and that they would discover that if they swing their hearts out for anything other than Christ, then it will be purposeless.  May you too find yourself "swinging" through life with a clear understanding that it is through God that we are able to reach peace.

You can read a bit more about the creation of this layout by clicking on this newsletter link.

Love in Christ,

Nana

PS: This layout was created using Nuts About Sketches Weekly Sketch.  It is being used also for the following challenges:
1. My Paper Tree house (Bible Challenge)
2. Fantabulous Cricut
3. Triple the Scraps


Cartridges used: All Mixed Up and Don Juan

Faith Art Journal

I decided to begin a Faith Art journal in order to portray things I cannot say to the Lord with words.  Not that I am any good at drawing, there is just a sense of completeness once i finish interpreting what i read in the Word through drawing.  Here is one of the recent creations...  Although it is not finished, I love the way it is coming along.  I think that it is a reflection of how I am still a work in progress...  :)

Thanks for visiting!

Love in Christ,

If I were to be honest...

In the past couple of weeks, the Lord has been doing some pretty AMAZING things in my heart.  When I say AMAZING I am not necessarily referring to the type of AMAZING that makes you smile, but definitely the kind that makes you more like Him! It is hard though to sit at the King's feet with absolutely nothing to show but your sin and the wickedness of who you really are!!

Last weekend I had the blessing of being one of the guest speakers at Faith 365.  I must say that the Lord magnifies Himself in my life and through others every time I am at that event.  He always purges me and shows me what I shall show others, not without it becoming real in my own life. And so, the same was true this time around!  I was so blessed by the many BEAUTIFUL women that attended, and the messages that were shared.  But impressively enough the biggest thing that God did for me while there was to open my eyes to something i believe He was trying to point towards a long time ago.

Have you ever gotten in soooo deep into something you don't know how to get out, even if you know you had to?  Well, that is what the Lord has shown me...  He intended for me to create for HIM and HIM ALONE.  To do events for Him and Him ALONE...  and yet somewhere down the line I have made Him part of what I have wanted...  I have a heavy heart.... 

While in Louisiana, Mrs. Lynnette told me that I need to take things slow because later in life I would regret having missed out on my children without a purpose.  Somehow when she said that i understood what God had been trying to tell me... I need to stop for HIM or I will not enjoy Him and the gifts He has given me. 

So, If I were to be truly HONEST, I must say that I hate every second I spend away from my children.... I hate how tired I am of not being able to kiss them goodnight every night because I have to be at a store...  I hate when my daughter sees me pacing back and forth in the house and automatically she tells me "Mami no va" (which means Mommy don't go")...  I hate that I can barely understand the things my son says because I don't spend enough time to know what it is he is trying to say... I hate that the conversations I have with my husband are short and to the point and that the time I spend with him has been narrowed to one night a week...  I hate that i have no time to fulfill the duties I believe I should be fulfilling in my house...  I hate the fact that I have debt to pay and I have to work daily in order to pay it and have something to offer our children...

Is it worth it?  If i were to be honest...  No!  Only the things that count in eternity are worth it...  Therefore I have made a very bold decision... I am NOT going to continue living the life I have led so far.  If anything needs to be sacrificed it will be that which does not have the Lord as the center of it!  I will continue with the Faith crops and will begin to have Faith events every 3 months.  I have realized that if I just teach women to scrapbook without adding the hope that exists in Christ, I am doing them a disservice... 

And so, starting in November, the Studio will only be open every other Friday and on Saturdays from 10am-10pm.  All the classes of the month will be offered on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.  The 1st Saturday will be set apart for a regular All Day Crop and the 3rd will be for the Faith crops.

The monthly kit club will also change.  I am not going to offer a kit for the month of October because i am going to reconsider the purpose and spend some time creating kits that help me accomplish my mission.  I will be offering kits that include product that will enable women to create layouts and projects with the purpose of  leaving a legacy of what God has done and is doing in their lives.  The new kit will be released in December and the price will go down although the amount of product will remain the same.  There will be Bible challenges and lots of inspiration for just about anybody available in the blog. 

I know that this decision is probably going to cost me many many customers...  but IF I WERE TO BE HONEST... what matters to me is that Christ is being glorified and honored and that my children will get to see Him through even the hard decisions I make for His sake.  The Lord has given me His life...  the least I can do is give Him mine - UNASHAMEDLY!

Thanks to those of you that might not come back...  may the Lord bless you greatly. :)  Thanks to those that will stick around... may the Lord continue to show us His face!!

Love in Christ,

Nana

NUTS ABOUT SKETCHES...

Ever since I found out about sketches, I have been in love.  Anyone that knows me can tell you that I am a "natural" with mini-books, but I tend to struggle a bit with creating layouts I fall in love with.  That was until I discovered sketches.  I feel freed up once I have a map to follow, and some sketches get the best out of me. 

I love sketches that have many pictures because I take many pictures...  :)  But the reality is that there are not that many sketches out there with many pictures that can still inspire me to create beautiful pages.  I came across the Nuts About Sketches blog and fell in love.  There has yet to be a sketch that i do not like, or that does not push me towards my very best...  :)  Recently i tried out for their design team and am very honored to say that I was chosen as one of the designers!!!  WOOHOO!! 

It is a bit sad that it took me so long to announce it here, but I have been beyond overwhelmed with work.  Finally today I decided I could not let any more time go by without me sharing the news...  :)  This week they are featuring a double page spread with TONS of pictures.  Although the layout is not fully done, I am loving the direction it is heading towards and so I decided to share it...

Here is the sketch:

And here my interpretation of that sketch:

I have created these other layouts using Shawn's sketches:

Make sure you go by the Nuts About Sketches blog for more amazing sketches.

CHA ROCKED!

I just got back from CHA and may I say WOW! The new lines are awesome and I cannot wait to get my hands on them! :) Needless to say, I had a blast with Kiki, Felipe, Nan, and other wonderful ladies at the Zutter booth while we created the cutest make-n-takes. :)
I got to come across a group of wonderful people... Here are some pictures to prove it:

Tim Holtz
Melody Ross
Donna & Bill Downey
Theresa Collins
Claudinne Helmuth

I also wanted to show you a bit of what I have been working on...

(It is not clear in this picture, but I think it is funny how my son does not look excited in the top picture, yet there is a bubble next to him as if he was saying: "This is Awesome!" LOL)


Thanks for visiting!

My Rising Star

Sketchy Thursdays is an awesome Sketch challenge blog. Even though I do not always have time to play there, I HAD to be part of their GDT challenge. The challenge was to include the color yellow in the layout made using their sketch, and to add a hand made embellishment. This is the sketch they posted:
and this is the layout I created:

My son is notorious for two things: for throwing things to the floor just to say "Oh Oh!', and for playing Peek a Boo. When I saw the pictures my husband was able to capture I could not resist but to scrap them and call him "Momma's Peek A Boy".

I cut the star out of chipboard and used Glossy Accents and Alcohol Inks to give it its color and texture. All of the patterned paper is from Momenta, an AMAZING and versatile scrapbooking company. Make sure to check out their blog so that you can see their product and what other designers are creating with it! :)

Thanks for looking!

FCCB 3 Flower Challenge

I have been more busy than what I like to admit, but when I saw the challenge for this week over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog I had to participate! We had to create a project using at least three flowers. I am a flower junkie, so I HAD to use more than three.. :) Here is the layout I created using the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge:



Thanks for looking!

Love in Christ,

Nana

Kate said...

Thanks for the challenge! I don't have a Gypsy but did pretty much everything for the Cricut Crawl challenge using my DS. I don't cut without it! I did add some swirls to my layout though. You can find details on my blog (http://smallbitsofpaper.blogspot.com/2010/05/lady-lenore-layout-fantabulous-cricut.html). I posted at Fantabulous Cricut as well. Thanks for letting me play!

Hope to see you over there... :)

Love in Christ,

Fantabulous Cricut Crawl...

Welcome to my blog and the "Fantabulous Cricut Crawl"...our version of a progressive blog hop!

If you've come from visiting Lori at Organized Chaos, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start here.For our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, each Design Team member will be featuring a specific element related to using your Cricut. There will be a wide variety of techniques and elements that will be featured so make sure to check out each DT member's blog! There will be prizes along the way AND there will be a grand prize for the participant that incorporates the most featured elements on ONE project!!! How fun is that?
The element I've chose to feature for the crawl is...

the FAMOUS Gypsy!
Many of you own the gypsy and use it mainly to cut your images. Although this is a great idea, (and truly its' purpose) I like to use the Cricut to come up with designs. I love the fact that in one sitting I have access to all of my cartridges and that I can design in one page using ALL the cartridges I own. I must admit that what I design might not always end up being my actual creation (like in this example), but I can start to formulate some ideas.
As many of you know, my grandmother passed away on the 19th of April. I wanted to create a project where my mother could keep a picture of her mother and her father (who also passed away). So this is what I designed while laying in bed chatting with my hubby... :)
In this design I have elements from 4 different cartridges: StoryBook, Potpourri Basket, Straight From the Nest, and Pink Journey. Even though the cartridges are all different I can combine them and design with all at the same time because I was using the Gypsy!!!

When I started designing, this is the frame I had in mind. It has sentimental value but I no longer find it attractive so I wanted to change it. I painted the frame with Acrylic Black and yellow paints and used a heat gun to dry it.

I then covered the frame with a White Wash....
and finished the look of the frame by Glimmer Misting! :)

Finally I added all of the elements that worked well with the picture I chose to use .

I understand that not all of you have the Gypsy, but if you do please leave me a comment telling me how you incorporated your Gypsy into your project. I will be giving a Cricut Cartridge Caddy from Scrapcessories to a random participant. In order to qualify you must become a follower of my blog, post your project over at FCCB, and leave me a message telling me you have done all of the above. If you do not have a Gypsy your challenge is to incorporate some type of swirl from any Cricut cartridge you may own into your project. :)

Now it's your turn! See if you can use your Gypsy to create your own project. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Next stop...Penny's blog, Light Whimsy. Go see what Penny has in store for you today... And when you're done, make sure to link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post to be entered into the contest! Try to see how many elements you can add to your project!!!

Happy Crawling!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #8

I FINALLY got my Gypsy back and can design with it!!! It took Provo Craft three months to get the Gypsy back into my hands, and to make up for the lost time they gave me the Straight From the Nest cartridge for FREE!!!! WAHOO!!

Anyhow, the challenge for this week over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog was to create a Teacher Appreciation project using an apple. I have a dear friend who loves coffee and is a teacher. Her birthday just passed and I thought it would be perfect to give her a mug she can take to school. :)

Using the Locker Talk cartridge I created this insert for a coffee mug:

All the shapes were cut at 2 inches and were then decorated using Stickles! :) Here is the picture of the insert inside the mug:

I had such fun playing with my Gypsy again... Come join us at the FCCB and let us see your Teacher Appreciation projects...

Love in Christ,

Nana

PS: Do not forget that you can win a Stickles Caddy by becoming a follower of my blog and leaving a comment on my Kiki-Art Blog Rayuela Post. :)
