June Farm Fresh Challenge - All About The Boys

Aloha and Happy Monday y'all!!! I hope you had a blessed weekend. I know I did. It was a busy one too. On Saturday, my youngest son n' I just hung out at home n' cruised n' crafted. My hubs went golfing. The weather was kinda gloomy, but good enough for golfing, I guess. We went to church Saturday evening, because my boy had a game on Sunday, so we didn't want to over do it all in one day. We also had a potluck party to go to for our Youth's Pastor. So, that wouldn't been a whole lot of things going on in one day, it was good we split it up.

Anyways, as I've mentioned, our Youth Pastor had a party. It was a going away party. He was going... not leaving the island, but the Lord called him and his ohana out to plant a church. Wowzah!! Praise the Lord. We are sad that he's leaving our church ohana, but excited to see what the Lord has in store for him. So I made him this card....

The thing is... I kinda picked this image because it kinda looks like him. He wears a lot of plaid tops, so I added some stripes to make it look like plaid. He has done so much for our Youth, and his wife was such an awesome supporter of his. We are truly going to miss them both.

I created this card with a Greeting Farm image. I then seen that they are having a challenge in using "boy" stamps. Yay!! This would go perfect for that challenge. You can find n' join the challenge here, if you'd like to do the same! I have a graduation coming up this week Friday, so I'll be working on some graduation cards. :)

Oops!! I almost forgot to mention that I got the sketch idea from Card Maps... here's the sketch:

Hope your week is a blessed one. Thanks again for stopping in!

On A Roll With Wedding Projects

So yesterday was Friday, and I went over to my neighbor Deverlyn's (who is also my sis-in-Christ) house. We jammed on some of her wedding projects!!! Here are pics of what we worked on....

These are her utensil holders/favors. These "Thank You" tags were made using photoshop elements and then cut on my Silhouette Cameo 2 using the print to cut feature. I'm still learning about this machine and its program, but am loving it so far. Sometimes it acts wonky, but it's still got some stronger features than the other machines that I've used. 

Here is a pic of the utensil holder almost complete. I say almost because there is one piece of it missing. 

Don't they look gorgeous???? I am loving them!!!

The other project we worked on was her card box! Her man (soon to be hubby) made this box with his carpentry talents!! So super cool. We just added the bow to add some girly features and the words "Faith, Hope & Love" will also be adhered to the box. Hmmmm.... "Faith, Hope & Love" sure sounds familiar... *wink* *wink*... Thank You, Jesus!!!! 

I used the Bowdabra to make this pretty bow!!! Dev and I had an awesome time talking stories and making crafts together. Although we were outside, the sun wasn't getting much into the garage, and it was breezy weezy here n' there.  Here is a pic of her and I... 

Thanking the Lord for the love of crafting... I don't know how I love this thing so much! Can only be by the Lords love that allows me to create and pray for the receiver of every single project!!! God is Good!!! Thank You, Lord for giving me this opportunity!!! All Glory to God!!!! 

Have a blessed weekend!! 

Aloha,

Jen
