NEW! Tea For Two Digital Clip Art Kit

There are 16 pieces in this beautiful, hand watercolored BRAND NEW art kit by Audrey Jeanne Roberts. Made up of very detailed and elegant artwork, there are 4, 12″ papers, 3 tea labels, 4 large art pieces suitable for card fronts, 3 tea cup elements and two incredibly detailed borders.

This kit would be perfect for making all kinds of printables including teabag covers, greeting cards and to decorate gift bags for Mother’s Day or other feminine gift giving occasions. Use it to create scrapbook pages of a special day or High Tea, the uses are endless.  This artwork is extremely detailed and life-like. This kit can be used to create your own cards, craft with or for scrapbooking.

I have been very, very, VERY busy this past month and have really missed being able to write a little here every few days.  I’m hoping that I’ll be back on a more normal schedule in a few weeks once Surtex starts.  Actually most of my work hasn’t even been doing new art for the show, but fulfilling manufacturer’s requests for artwork and designing products.  I’m very “itchy” to get creating again soon, but also very, very, VERY thankful for the work in a time when many in my industry aren’t working.

TOMORROW I’ll be drawing for the twice monthly FREE digital clip art kit.  Just post a comment on any post in the month of April and you’re entered!

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:  Isa 40:28-41:1
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

DEVOTIONAL:  I thought I would write something I was currently very familiar with… being weary!  Weary is more than tired, it is tired beyond easily being refreshed.  Weariness is an accumulation of a long season expending a great deal of energy.  When we grow weary we also can be easily overcome — by sickness, by discouragement and by the enemy of our souls.

Sometimes we have no choice but to walk through seasons where we are required to give out more than we have within us.  When those seasons come, how can we get through them in a victorious manner?

We can turn to Him who never grows tired or weary and who freely gives us His strength if we just ask Him for it!  During this season of long days (and even long all-nighters) I love to remember this verse and ask God to give me His strength for the task.  I especially love the “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.”  I used to be on the front end of that scripture but now find myself on the other end of life and my strength isn’t what it used to be.  But God’s strength can enable me to run and not grow weary, walk and not faint!

PRAYER:  Lord, I have tasks to accomplish that are greater than my strenth can handle.  My day is long, my time to rest and renew is short… please refresh me with Your strength.  Make my hands strong enough for each task, help me run and not grow weary, walk and not faint.  Renew my strength like the eagles and let me mount up on the winds of the storm to soar in your strength.  AMEN

Thanks, Lucy! New Instant Scrap Book Pages in the Store Today

My friend, Lucy Hampton brought an image that I had placed in my blog to my attention today.  I created it some time ago promising a kit to come shortly, well….  I had forgotten about the kit altogether and it was “lost” on my hard drive!

I had created six, 12 inch premade scrapbook pages and they were just sitting there waiting to be uploaded to the store.  It’s a little scary when your hard drive(s) are so big you can lose your work and not even remember you were working on it.

Ah well!  These are perfect for spring, so the timing is great.  If you scrapbook, you know how much time it can take just to find your pictures and develop your theme.  With quick pages all you have to do is drop your photos in behind the layer, size them and then print out your page.  If you don’t have a printer that can print 12″ pages, you can take them to office supply stores and have them printed onto photo paper very economically.  In fact some of my friends that scrap, feel it’s better quality at a lesser price than it costs to print at home!  You can also reduce them to 8″ size and print them on letter-sized paper to use either in an 8″ album or even place and 8″ page on top of a piece of 12″ store purchased paper and add a little bit more to complete your own unique page.

If you don’t scrapbook, consider the other uses for quickpages.  You can reduce the size, add a photo and some text and create your own announcements, invitations or greeting cards.  You can even send an image like these with your photos to your favorite photo lab via email and print out beautiful Wedding Invitations, Bridal Shower Invitations, Tea Party Invitations or create your own greeting cards.  I especially love receiving photo greeting cards, my refrigerator is covered with them.

Thanks so much for the reminder, Lucy!

Windows on Christmas, Digital Clip Art Kit

LINK TO KIT IN STORE HERE I had a few extra minutes before I run out the door, so I thought I would upload another Christmas kit.  This one is one of my all-time favorites.  Created out of my memories of Christmas as a child the art in this is particularly warm and wonderful.

There are several pre-made card fronts included.  The  art itself was created specifically with card crafting in mind.  I’ve really enjoyed seeing the delightful Christmas cards that many of you ladies have made out of this kit since it was released at The Daisie Company last Christmas.  I’m always so excited and amazed to see your creativity!

The kit, along with all my other Christmas or Winter kits will be on sale for 20% off until December 15th, so grab it quick!

Again, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I’ll see you in December!
