You Got To Have Faith! Beautiful Canvas Board

Hello Friends
Welcome to INSPIRE.

Today's posting is a bit different than my standard
crafty makes and inspirations.

Today, I, as I am sure that a grand volume of other
crafters are in the same position, trying to find a
"normal" in this national and international health crisis we are presently facing.

Being a christian woman, I have faith in God.
Faith in His power & promises.

Yet somehow, this is still a very frightening thing happening in our world.
More than ever, we need Faith, to keep us from losing our minds, to keep our health in check.

But more than that, we need Faith that God has got a plan. That He already has this ALL figured out!

It is written throughout scripture, that for those that are in covenant with Christ, are covered in times of tribulation. 

John 16:33 ESV
I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation.
But take heart, I have overcome the world.

And with God, all fear shall cease!

Isaiah 41:10 ESV
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

If you are in a mode of constant anxiety & fear at this time, try getting alone with God, and just pray, ask Him to be your peace, strength and your hope in this crisis.

These thoughts have inspired me to do a little creating.
We have not only been socked in by the pandemic, but we have had days upon days of grey, rainy weather, and now have small ponds that used to be solid ground.

So today being the first day of spring, I thought I would make something inspiring and colorful.

 So I used some of my favorite PLAID Crafts products, along with some of my favorite Faber-Castell products 
to bring it all together!

Hop on over to my YouTube channel and checkout the process video for this little lovely! 




And please subscribe to both this blog and YouTube channel to stay up to date with new projects and ideas, as well as some fun and exciting things coming in the future!

Until next time......

Get Creative & Be Blessed!

BLIMEY! It Is A Pirates Treasure!

Hello there matey!
Welcome to INSPIRE!

Today I would like to share with you,
this FABULOUS pirate themed project
I recently completed for
Emerald Creek Craft Supplies 
Charity Auction
going on NOW through March 5th.





I was asked to join as a guest designer, and I have to say  what a THRILL it has been!

In case you  are not familiar with Emerald Creek, they have a line of embossing powders that will knock your socks off!

So many colors, so many effects, so many textures!
If you are looking for that something different in your embossing powder, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER,
Emerald Creek is the place to go!

And aside from that, they have so many other great products!
They feature stamps, stencils & a wide range of embellishments including items to even create jewelry with!

Stop by and check them out!

Now, about the auction, it is a Silent Auction, and is part of an initiative to help artists grow on a business aspect, and for an opportunity to pay it forward to charity.

I have chosen to donate to 
DAFI-Disabled Artists Foundation, Inc.
To find out more about this organization 
and what they are about,
