August Release Project Parade-Day13

Happy Friday peeps, it is Teresa and I am thrilled to be taking you into the weekend with my version of the project parade of Something Old, Something New. Once again, the divas never cease to amaze me with their talent and ideas. Julee and all the divas...you are the best! I am one of those who luvs my Verve no matter if it is new or old, I do find myself reaching for it all the time. Julee's flowers are always divine, but next to those my favorite stamps are the scripture stamps. I knew I wanted to incorporate one of those into my project. For my project I took a 4x6 recycled paper notebook that I picked up a Target and Verve'd it up a bit. It is perfect, it has kraft on the inside covers and recycled white lined pages. I always like to make a matching card...lol..that is just what I do. Here is a picture of the book, I used Dream Big and Filigree Fantasy. I used one of the Maya Road kraft envelopes on the front and dressed it up a bit to make this sweet little notebook with a pocket on the front.

This is a close up of the little notebook I layered the flowers, added a buttons with twine, and of course some bling. 

This is a close up the card, I used one of the fabulous sketches from the last release week challenges. I added faux ribbon with the fun polka dotted chocolate paper. I used the 1 Peter5:7 stamp.

Whether old or new I hope you will play along, the details follow. I cannot wait to see what you create!

1. Play along with us and link up your new SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW creation (posted August 25th or later) to the linky widget on the DAY 1 PARADE POST before midnight on Wednesday, September 15th. One lucky stamper will win a $30.00 gift certificate to the Verve Store.

2. For another chance to win, be sure to give the Divas a little shout-out in the comments section as we parade our SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW creations. One lucky commenter during the course of the parade will win the Verve stamp set of their choosing!

Encouraging Words: Day 5

Hello friends, it's Teresa bringing to you day five of the encouraging words project parade. I so much want to encourage others, so this was a truly exciting project for me, I have a very special friend who will be receiving this gift. Hi Kim, I hope you are encouraged and know you are very special to me.

I found this small easel at the dollar store and thought it would be perfect holding 4 x4 encouraging cards. I made seven different cards, one for each day of the week. I also made this 4 x4 box to hold everything. I have to agree with Amber, Julee has brought to you the best stamps around for encouragement. I used Miracles Blossom for the box tag and Happiness Found for the card on the easel.

Stamps used in clockwise order, starting in the upper left:
Psalm 121: 1-2, Happiness Found, Hebrews 11:1, and Philippians 4:13

I used the fabulous dp from My Mind's Eye 29th Street Market Collection. I used lots of bling, a gorgeous red ribbon, SU baja breeze ribbon, buttons, and scoring. I wanted each card to be uniquely different and personal. I hope you can play along with us and make someone 's day with a encouraging word. I really enjoy looking at every one's creation.

Stamps used in clockwise order starting from the top left:
1 Chronicles 16:34, Happiness Found, Matthew 11:28, and 1 Peter 5:7
