Hello Everyone,

Hop on over to
Creative Paperclay Blog
and see what I've been up to

.A Woman's Worth

A woman's beauty is not only

In the glow of her skin

But the depth of her eyes

And the warmth of her heart

A woman's strength is not only

In the bow of her back

But the magnitude of her tears

And the softness of her words

A woman's wisdom is not only

In the value of her words

But the knowledge of when to hold them

And the journey she takes to learn them

A woman's courage is not only

In her determination to fight

But her willingness to walk away

And confidence to say no

A woman's grace is not only

In the way she dances through her day

But in the love notes she leaves

And the wonderful meals she prepares

A woman's love is not only

In the kisses she gives

But in the sacrifices she makes

And the moments given to you alone

A woman's worth is not only

In the things she does

But who she truly is

And who she helps you become

~ Mary Costanza -A Woman's Heart And Soul

Motivational Poem of the Day

Swap to Hop Blog Hop with Scrappin' Sista Swaps - July 12th-13th

Welcome to the “Swap to Hop Blog Hop” with Scrappin’ Sista Swaps. This is the last stop aboard the hop train.  Today the swappers are bringing you some very special projects created using the cuts we exchanged during our Summer Animal Cut swap!

You are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard, or reading this via email, please be sure to start here. That way you’ll be able to get in on all the fun!!!

Now that all my kiddos are getting older

I feel more comfortable going to the pool

with all three of them

As many of us know we try out best to keep up

with towels and bags

I created a summer fun pool key chain

to hook onto their large bag

 This image was designed by our hostess Christel

 

 I painted a wooden birdhouse that i bought last year on clearance.

Cute beach theme

Printed out a picture of my kiddos with a contact information

and used my Your Story Laminate machine

 Added a key ring

Here’s the line-up in case you get lost along the way.

Welcome

hosted by Leslierahye

If I can alter something that people would discard you know

I would do it in a heart beat

in my last posting I created a steampunk dress form wall decor

for the International Fairy Day

I used the frame the wings came from

painted with Tim Holtz Distress paints and Distress Stains

used UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) and Heat Inks in the melting pot

placed the textured Gear textured Tread down 

and placed my chipboard facing down on top of textured tread to get the imprint

to show on the other side

 I added silver and white rub-n-buff on top of 

texture to give it that pop

I used Labatt's Blue Canadian beer cans to cut out the flowers

I am happy with the results

Ranger - Clear UTEE (Ultimate Thick Embossing Enamel)

Altered Phone Case with Amazing Clear Cast®

I've seen many versions of people who bling out their phone cases – and suggesting all types of adhesives to tack down their rhinestones and embellishments. 

What better way to make sure they stick but with Amazing Clear Cast Resin???

After all was done - I was so excited to snap on my new case... 

then come to realize it wasn't my size. Ugh! Another day in the life of Jess B. – LOL!

 It will make a great gift!
