21 days to seek him...

21 Days...

For 21 days I am fasting, praying, and seeking the Lord in every way possible. I long/need/desire/ to be closer to him this year. I will take time from the things of this world and start off my year by dedicating it to the Lord. While, doing my daily Bible study I read this devotional about... (I don't know how many times). But I wanted to share it with all who would take the time to read it. I pray you will not only read it but receive the salvation available to all of us through the blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior (Romans 5:8)

There is no command in Scripture to memorize God's Word. But it is clear that memorization furnishes us with:
Tools for effective service: "The Scriptures are the comprehensive equipment of the man of God, and fit him fully for all branches of his work." (2 Timothy 3:17, Phillips) (Ever hear someone say, "Well, somewhere in the Bible it says… ")
Victory over temptation: When faced with Satan's onslaughts, Christ immediately and effectively quotes Scripture: "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God'… Then the devil left Him… " (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10, 11).
Obedience to God, and success in life: "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success." (Joshua 1:8)

Living with Christ in a victorious fashion without gaining command of the Scriptures is like:

Typing with arthritic feet
with wool socks on
upside down,
blindfolded
60 feet underwater – in ice cold sewage
while choking on a clogged air hose… that leaks
as someone shoots at you with a poisonous spear gun

So… What are you waiting for? Get going on your Scripture memory!

I'M BACK WITH KREATORVILLE KRAFTS KIT REVEAL

Well I made it back with the help of the Lord from my trip to California. While I had a great time visiting with family and friends boy was I ready to come home. I missed my little country environment. I was such a Cali girl and while there are things I will always miss, I am for sure at home here in Texas now. I have some pictures of my family and friends to share with you guys. And some layouts in a few days will follow.

So for weeks I have been talking about this awesome kit from a new kit club "KREATORVILLE KRAFTS KIT CLUB". I even gave you guys a sneak peek layout using the kit. Well in this post you will find the entire reveal. But don't miss out on going to the Kreatorville blog because there are RAKS and GIVEAWAYS. And our guest designer is one you'll enjoy. I am relying on you ladies to show some love here at my blog and over at the kreatorville kraft website. I know you ladies won't let me down. Go see all the kit's goodness. So here it goes...

I'm going home

I have finally finished all of my DT projects for Scrap n Art Magazine, Kreatorville Kraft Kit Club, and even had time to squeeze in three just for me layouts. You know the ones you do just for your own creative pleasure. I really enjoyed the results of all my projects this time around. I wish I could share them all with you but you'd have to get yourself a Scrap n Art subscription to see most of it. Or wait until the 21st of for the Kit Club reveal.

It has been a year and a half since I've seen my family and I am super excited to be going to California for 8 days. We won't take Jeremiah and Madison with us. They will stay with family here in Texas. But we aren't completely free of children. Bailey will be with us. Which is pretty cool since our California family has never seen her. I am so ready to touch down and see the fam and take lots of pictures.

While I can't share all of my creations with you guys yet. You know I couldn't just leave you ladies without anything for 8 days. I hope you ladies find some inspiration in the work below. Stay tuned, visit back often. I will have some exciting RAWKS coming up soon and not to mention the Kreatorville Kraft Kit Club complete reveal. I am super excited. Oh by the way. The titles on the "It's Ok Bailey" and the "Total Bliss Layouts are by Aptly Titled. They can be found and purchased here (http://www.etsy.com/shop/kiwithekreator). And they ship for free in your Kreatorville Kraft Kit, so be sure to get one.

THE AWESOMENESS HAS ARRIVED!!!!!! HUUMMMM!!

I woke up this morning, had my quiet time with the Lord and then I heard a knock at the door that scared the daylights out of me. When I opened the door it was a package from Kreatorville Krafts Kit Club. I did a quick dance and put it down to feed the baby. Apparently she was just as startled as I was by the knock at the door, because she woke up like "Who Dat" LOL.

I have a new job and I love it. I am the design team coordinator for Kreatorville Krafts Kit Club. The kit will be revealed and available for sale November 21st. If you are interested in putting yours on reserve please email me or Keandra at...

tajkorekreator@kreatorvillekraft.com

keandra@kreatorvillekraft.com

The kits are priced competitively at $37.50 plus shipping for a one time purchase or$32.50 plus shipping with a subscription. The blog will go live in a few days and you ladies can go by and check out the sneak peeks of the kit.

Ok so I knew the kit was going to be awesome but I didn't know it was going to be this much AWESOMENESS in it. I mean the possibilities are endless. If you have a boy then this is the kit for you. If you have a girl then this is the kit for you. If your an artistic scrapper, or a mainstream scrapper then this is the kit for you. It is just ***AWESOME***

I loved the kit so much I started to create right away. I created this layout in about an hour. The colors and the embellies are perfect so they came together great and fast. I was able to get Keandra to give me the go ahead of sharing some of the AWESOMENESS the kit has to offer. On to the AWESOMENESS I have been telling you ladies about for weeks.

P.S
You are gonna dig the guest designer this month. She is all that and a master.

AWESOMENESS IS ON THE WAY!!!!

Ok so there is a new kit club on the way. And I am so excited because it's pure "AWESOMENESS". Yes I said it "Awesome-NESS". A made up word never hurt anyone. Anywho, please stay tuned for all the awesomeness to come. I have 3 layouts to share with you.

The star on the school layout started off as raw chipboard and was sprayed with 2 different shades of glimmer mist and then painted with crackle paint. Then I sprayed more glimmer mist on it. Oh, and the holes were punched using my crop-a-dile. Give it a try I would love to see what you come up with. I would love to share the thicker trick with you on the "What's this?" Layout, but you have to visit the Scrap n Art blog to see those details. Here is the link http://www.scrapnart.com/blog/

And don't forget to visit the Pink Sketches blog to see this weeks sketch. Be sure to give it a go and have some fun with it. It's super cool. Peace out ya'll

Pink Sketches Layout

Well it feels like I've got nothing done but I have been a working fool. Between football games, year end events, DT work, and life in general it has been a mad house. There is a new Kit Club coming soon and the kit's are more than inspiring. So stay tuned for some awesome sneak peeks in the next few days. But for now here are two of my pink sketches layouts. Peace out ya'll!!!

Whoohoo!!!

I am super excited. I am now a member of the Pink Sketches Design Team (http://pinksketches.typepad.com/). I love the sketches there. They are not over done, they give you the head start you need while leaving plenty of creative room. Here are the Pink Sketches Design Team girls. Also here is the layout I created for the call. And I received a massive box of goodies from my sister (keandra http://kiwithekreator.blogspot.com/). Have you ever seen an $8.00 bag of M&M's? LOL, I have.
