Remember back when ?? I mentioned there was something big maybe going to happen ? Well today is the day .. Thank you Dawn AKA Dawn Mercedes on SCS she was very persistent at nominating my tutorial for the shadowbox to Beth for the TLC challenge on Mondays Well today is the day YAHOO! Thank you Dawn for your encouragement it was sooo awesome.. Thank you Beth for adding my tutorial to your awesome list on Mondays .. Truly Dawns excitement over my tutorial and adding my blog site tutorial on my shadow box in her signature line until it got on Beth's list of TLC challenges This in itself is such an Honor..I think Dawn aka Dawn Mercedes May be my very 1st groupie :-) OH and lets not forget her mom too :-) ( sending kisses to both of you ) But Seriously if this is how movie stars feel This is way to cool .. Dawn posted the Great news to me via email through SCS ... Thank you Dawn your such a sweetie pie .. Ok so you all want to see this write up HERE is the link..
Yesterday I also added a sidebar for the quick links to my tutorials on my blog on the left hand side . The only thing is that once you click the tutorial you will have to scroll up wards to view .Thank you all for your comments this weekend on my never ending card ..Renee had mention about a flyer she received in the mail just like the never ending card , I also remember that I got one from I think Ford company that was never ending advertisement .. I really love this card ..
Ok onto today card post .. I was inspired from Mary Andersons card she posted a few days ago on January 26th using her Embossing paste .. Funny I also had some of this embossing paste from 2 1/2 years ago( Really I did already have it ) when I attended a Auntie Amy's convention in Novi MI , and I thought for sure it would have been all dried up .. NOPE, just as great as when I bought it ..YAHOO! Mine is not translucent as Marys , Mine is white but you can still order both HERE mine cost only $7.25 2 1/2 years ago but now dream weavers sell it for 8.00.. Great stuff.. I used pixie pink CS along with the Bodacious Brass template from SU! the swirls and dots seem to get crazy the more I did .. It started out with just 2 swirls and dots BUT then it got carried away and seemed to look pretty cool with the entire BG covered in them The saying is from a stamp I got at meijers in the 70% off pile awhile ago .. seemed to fit this card perfectly if KWIM? Saying"Inspiration is more important than Knowledge" using the embossing paste is very simple .. The hardest part is waiting for it to dry .Lay your brass template down onto your CS and tape in place with removable tape then apply the embossing paste over top of the image of your brass embossing template smoothing out as you go once you cover your image evenly you lift off your brass template and TA-DA the embossed image appears .. let dry for at least 45 Min's .. I also add dazzling diamonds to my image right after I lifted the template off .. Gotta love that glitter. Pretty simple and so fun! Make sure you pick up the knife that Dream weaver sells also It looks to me like a small Spackle knife BUT they call it DPK Palette knife for $4.00 Thats easy enough huh? YUP thats me being an enabler this morning .. sorry
1 More thing before I go I wanted to share with you a awesome song by Micheal W Smith .. everything we go through in our life Remember OUR GOD is worthy of our worship and HE is the same Yesterday, Today and tomorrow . Click the link and Praise HIM today Agnus Dei For HE is worthy Can I hear a AMEN out there in Blogger land..Revelations 4:8 & Isaiah 6:3
Until later ... Happy Stampin!!
I'm having a DUH!!! Monday morning moment... what do you mean by this, "Dawn posted the Great news to me via email through SCS and she now has removed the tutorial of my shadow box in replace of my never ending card"?
I went to SCS and saw the shadow box challenge. I didn't see the never ending card post.

Hi Dawn:
Also my youngest daughter name..I came across your site via SCS this past Sunday. Your cards are beautiful and very creative. It may have something to do with you being a Cap (smile; I am also). Thanks for sharing how you create some of your work. (I have not read all of your blog to know whether or not you give tips on all)I trully believe in God. Whenever I am stuck on a card I am trying to create, I ask God for inspiration. He has not failed me yet. He guides me during my sleep, when I am guiet, browsing books/magazines, or send someone or something to show me the way. Continued blessings in your artwork and future endeavors. I wish you well.
Sheryl
