Hey there! Happy Friday! This week has whizzed by! I've been working on two projects for the "Stamped In His Image" class I am in charge of at the Nashville Assembly of God Women's Conference "Beauty For Ashes" tomorrow.

Here's the first of the two projects, a prayer/journal:

Starting with a Large Kraft Journal from the Occasions Catalog, we are heat-embossing the image with White Stampin' Emboss powder on White card stock Vellum, coloring on the back of the vellum with Stampin' Write Markers. If we colored on the front side it would look pretty icky:

Turned over to let the vellum soften the inks:

Isn't it a lovely difference? After coloring, the image is cut with an Ovals Collection Framelits Die, then layered on a same-size Pink Pirouette oval using glue dots under the darkest colored areas so they don't show through. We are cutting a Tea Lace Doily in half to adhere on either side of the Pink Pirouette oval, then layering onto a Spring Flowers-embossed Pear Pizzazz scalloped oval with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, all is adhered to the Kraft Journal with dimensionals.

The letters for "NOTES", cut from Blushing Bride card stock using Little Letters Framelits Dies, are adhered to the journal using Tombow Multipurpose Glue carefully applied to each letter with a toothpick.

Final touches are tabs cut with the File Tabs Edgelits Dies. I wrote, "verses", "thoughts" and "Prayer List" with a White Stampin' Chalk Marker on mine.

In case you are wondering how we will have time to make this journal AND a card in the 50 minutes allowed for the class, I have pre-cut everything and heat-embossed the image. All attendees will do is color the image, cut the Tea Lace doily in half, emboss the Pear Pizzazz scallop oval with the Spring Flowers Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and assemble!
