All Things Analyn

I support the military wholeheartedly and I wanted to say thank u to my niece, who recently joined the Army National Guard.  It's a very girlie card, she's not very girlie but i really liked the pink military outfit.  Here are other cards i've made for the Rock Church Military Ministry: Jesand's card was intended to be sent to her for 4th of July but I didn't see her. I will have a chance to give it to her at the end of the month for the BKP's (Broke Kids Project) party. It's her music collaboration with her friends and cousin. Here's the link to her Facebook music page . Enjoy and support her!!! <3

Yesterday was Father's Day and I forgot I had made this card a few months ago. The verse is Matt. 4:18; "He said, Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." At church yesterday there was a skit with a little girl in a princess dress trying to attract the attention of her father. The father was busy on the computer and cell phone. I don't know what the song is but it brought tears to my eyes something about dancing with the princess and needing to practice her dance. Finally the father took notice and danced with the little girl. The skit took the audience through other times of her life: her prom and marriage, both with the fathers dancing with their little (or not so little, anymore) girls. It was really sweet. My father passed away this March but I never really had that "daddy's girl" type of relationship. When I saw that skit it solidified my prayers that my kids will have that type of father I never had. My BF, my wonderful Richie, also shares ...

All I can say is God is so awesome, nothing is coincidental, nothing created by accident, God had a purpose and a reason for everything he created. Watch this video (it's about nine minutes long, but SO worth it!) Enjoy!

 WOW! the love of my life made this! Amazing!  glitter in her hair glitter on her dress and flowers the bell is in 3D lots of layers <3 love <3 i think he sent this to Sarah and his brother, Bobby Need I say More? BEAUTIFUL card! It was made by my man! The love of my life- Richie loves the Greeting Farm's stamps -I think more than I! He does such a great job with the coloring, check out Anya's hair! He even added the glitter in her hair as well as her dress! Amazing....

Today calls for a Celebration! I made my 100th card (still got more to go....) and it's amazing! I'm excited to create more cards and as soon as I come up with my game plan for Operation Mail Call, I'll really have the ball rolling! Woohoo!!! As soon as I figure out how to create a slideshow and my camera battery charged, I'm gonna take some pics.

From the start of my addiction with A Muse , Geeta had created a challenge for Operation Hero Mail . Her challenge was to create cards for our military personnel serving our country overseas. The result of the challenge, she had collected 1001 handstamped cards to be sent to our troops! It was a great way to show our support! (Hero Ian-The Greeting Farm) The Rock Church Military Ministry has adopted a squadron: Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron One . It's been on my heart to create and send handmade cards to these guys and gals. The squadron consists of 350 men and women overseas. They are in battle daily and think of home constantly. By sending words of encouragement and support, they will know that they are loved and not forgotten. I've also created a new blog: Operation Mail Call . It is designed to have devotions to share the love of God, spiritual growth, and knowledge of the bible. With Jesus all things are possible. We love and support our troops and pray f...

Love of my life: Richie and Brandon "Mancraft" Brandon hard at work Richie loves copics almost more than i do! Sunday was Guys night in: Rich called it ManCraft....This is not an illusion, gals, these manly guys are really using copics, twinkle stars, pop dots, and stickles. Brandon's creation Check out the great work: Richie's cupcake princess Rich made the Sugar Plum Princess and Brandon made a few Hero cards. Pretty amazing if you ask me. They were so into making cards and ManCrafting they were up till 5 in the morning! That's FIVE hours after I went to bed!

Our paratrooper Ian is the WINNER of the Don't be a square challenge! The first thing Rich did in the morning was check out The Greeting Farm blog. All I heard from him is-"uhh...cool they featured my card, wait, we WON!" We never win anything and we're off to buy us some lottery tickets! Have a wonderful day! Tomorrow is Friday, I hope everyone is able to spend time with their families this Easter Sunday. The Rock church is hosting the video "The Passion of the Christ" on Friday. Can you believe I've never seen it? I can't wait.

Paratrooper Ian the greeting farm opened card both our work: mine-Ian next to hummer love of my life recreating the scene After my entry for the greeting farm's Don't be square , Richie wanted in on the action...He completed the paratrooper Ian all by himself. We're keeping our fingers crossed, the prize is 3 stamp sets! We need more creatures/characters ! The hero cards are very special to the both of us, these cards are going to be sent to his brother, Bobby, who is currently serving in Afghanistan.

Ian next to hummer i went to the library to enlarge the hummer stamp from a muse - hero mail the greeting farm it stands! Other than the challenges on the A Muse lounge, this is the first challenge on The Greeting Farm. It's the Don't be square challenge . Do you recognize the the Humvee? It's from the A Muse Hero Mail set, enlarged to 350%. I didn't know how to enlarge on my scanner so the lovely ladies at the library helped me out. Thank you! On the inside I stamped the sentiments: "we salute you" and "looking forward in your safe return." I'm so excited for my project (mentioned in my earlier blog) I actually got started, now it's just to get it together and present it. I've spoken to one of the leaders in charge and I'm hoping to get a chance to speak to the main leader in charge. More on that soon! Keep your fingers crossed and me in your prayers!

I love my Copic markers! It took me a while to get it but Princess Anya's hair turned out great! Now to show my Richie! He's the one who did the other Anya and Ian cards. Her dress and tiara has stardust stickles. The layout of the card is from an older post on Little Paper Shop Blog . There are so many challenges online that I spend so much time just thinking about what to create next!

It's good to have a boyfriend who not only supports my new found hobby but also participates. (although he swears he's better than I am...lol...luv ya babe ;P ) He calls curly his trade mark A Muse stamp. It does represent him quite well. Lots of color and fun! Even his mom is surprised that Rich is taking an interest in making cards! For his very first card he used the Greeting Farm "Rock the farm" set and dedicated it to his mom...what a cool son! His hero card is also blog-published on the Greeting farm blog: http://splendidstamping.blogspot.com/2009/03/its-march.html He's a happy camper. Now that he's seen the difference in quality using Copics I'm likely to get a set sooner than later! Yay! I can't wait! He's been shopping for those bad boys more than I have...He's definitely a keeper!
