It's a "Grungy" kind of day...

 Hello fellow crafters,  time for another long over due update. I  am still alive and kicking.  Just working lots of early morning hours.   Which in a way I don't mind too much because I do get off earlier in the day.    This evening finally got in the mood to sit down at my computer and have a play with graphics.   Always a bit too late, as I will need to get sleepy enough to go to bed here soon.  ;)    I hope this will be something fun to use in your JJ or even on a card.   I haven't printed it out to tell you what the size is... that's always been a bit difficult for me to figure out when making graphics.  Is the math.  Ugh.    Anyway I call this one:  Grungy Vintage.   

Have fun!  I hope to actually work on a (physical) craft here soon.   I miss crafting.

On a day that I wasn't working, hubby and I went to our favorite flea market and found some things to use in my crafts.   So lets get to it.  :)

**As always please use my graphics for personal use only**

Print them out to use in your crafty goodies.

Have a blessed day, or evening whatever it is where you are!

Just sitting here.... thinking

 Hello crafty friends,  I finally found some time to just sit at my computer and try to come up with something to make on this program, but the ideas just aren't flowing today.     I haven't completely stopped making crafts.. I have been working on Flip - Notebooks.    I made one for myself to carry in my front pocket for work, to jot down important numbers that I need to remember.    Then one day I decided to show this note thing to someone I know, and she thought it was the neatest thing.   All I had to say was, "I can make one for you"... this led to others wanting one too.   Funny, how that worked out.   

In a few short hours I will be getting ready for sleep and another early birdie shift.     

This growing season we decided to try an experiment and plant some potato eyes.   I had watched numerous videos online to see what ya had to do,  I had a potato that was just sitting on top of the microwave and growing little teeny leaves... so I chopped it up into pieces as instructed, then I pushed those little bits into the rich moist soil.   I really wasn't expecting much.   We watered like every so often to make sure those plants didn't die.   Well to my surprise~ we have the smallest potatoes ever!   It's way too early to pull em right now, so I will wait and see what goes on.

As I look out the window I see a hanging plant that deserves some attention.   Poor thing is wilting in this heat.   Heat indices have been 90 degrees F. or 32 C.    

It's interesting sometimes to see what pops up in FB pages.  A short video featuring singer LuLu - she sang the theme song in the movie To Sir With Love.   She is 75 years young.  I'm not sure why, but when I first watched that movie (which was not so long ago) I found a few tears rolling down my cheeks.   There's nothing really sad in the movie, in fact it was rather inspiring and uplifting, for back in the day... maybe a little tired in todays standards as far as movies go. Todays movies are rather fast and lots of flash.    I really would like to see more shows and movies with good values being presented.     That's why I like to watch movies like, The Spirit Of St. Louis;  The Inn Of The Sixth Happiness;  Love Is A Many Splendored Thing;  along with newish types like - The Blind Side (Sandra Bullock);  While You Were Sleeping;  (these are not newer movies), but you get what I mean.... and those are just a few,  I own volumes of old and newish movies, all in DVD's and a few in video tapes - believe it or not.   I inherited my parents Sony video player and it still works!   Which is amazing.   

More inspirational movies include: The Story of Joseph, which was produced in the 1990's.   there are others that would be too numerous to mention, not only that but it would mean getting down on the floor - and you know what that means (if you are of a certain age) by the way, when did that happen?!?    Oh well... that's another story..   I think this would be a good time to sign off....  and I will leave you with a passage from the Bible.  Romans 15: 13 - Now the God of Hope fill you with all Joy and Peace in believing, that you may abound in Hope, through the Power of the Holy Spirit.  

Bless you my crafty friends, have a good day.

Hugs, Mary 

What's happening?

 Hello friends,  I haven't been able to have a play with my program lately due to my working hours.  For the next 3 days, I will be getting up by 3:00 in the morning.   That is very early, yes I know, but I am filling in for a coworker that had hip surgery.    We due wish her well, and hope she improves every day.   

So that is about it for now, I do look forward to when I can start to create again.

If you are new to my blog, and you have liked my images, would be so kind to become a follower, and leave a nice comment too.    I would love it if you did.     Okay, well today is a busy day for me 2 appointments.

Have a blessed day,  Mary

Vintage Journal page

Hello crafty friends,  Happy Friday!  All day while at work I kept thinking what day is it, well its Friday.  Hope your weekend will be very nice.  I will be working this weekend, as usual.    I wanted to create something that you could use as either a journal page or a background in a greeting card.  I have provided flowers, butterflies and an old typewriter.  It looks vintage to me.

   

I would like to thank you for following my blog, and your kind comments as well, when I read them this morning it was like opening presents at Christmas. I had been a little anxious about whether or not any one would like what I create, and after reading I feel blessed.   Thanks again.   And as always, I like to make digitals that I know I would like to use in my own projects. :)   I would like to pass along a little idea that I have had... and would like your thoughts as well,  I am thinking of having a FB page that would be a place we could share our projects made with the digitals that I provide.  Let me know your thoughts on this.   

Have a great weekend, and be inspired.

Letters vintage page

 

The day has gotten away from me again, but I do like creating images for you.  I hope you'll like this one.  The lady in the frame is actually from my own drawings. She fit perfectly in this little vintage page, now when printing out put it on landscape and select the 5x7" setting otherwise the couple will be cut off on the edge.  I probably should have placed it more in the middle of the frame.  Well, I am still learning this digital stuff.  

Have a good evening or morning.

Blessings, Mary

Celebrate Autumn Labels

 Hello, crafty friends!

I'm sure you've been to the craft store, they already have their Christmas stuff out, and all the Fall & Thanksgiving stuff is on sale or already sold out.   Since I am on this fun journey of making things to share with you, I thought why not make a few labels celebrating Autumn.   Here ya go!   I think these would look great on a greeting card, all you need to do is add a stamped sentiment, or add in other embellishments, to make it yours.   Have fun with these.

This is a digital file, so you must print this out to use in your crafty projects.

These are free to use in your personal projects, *don't sell the files, or share.   If you like what I create, please direct your friends to my blog.  Thanks so much.

Blessings, Mary
