Recycled roses, Rudolph and Snippets

Morning Peeps,I think we are nearly back to normal after our holiday and for once my mojo came home with me so I have been getting back into some crafting. Plus hospital were pleased with me this week and the infections all seem under control which is a real bonus.

It's my turn to host the challenge at Allsorts this week and I have chosen the theme of Recycling. Our sponsors are Scrappers Delight and Crafty Ribbons. And further down you will also find my entry to this month Rudolph Day and Snippets challenges.

I actually made this card some time ago using a stamp set from Jo's Lets Create designs and was one of the samples I created for her, but am hoping I am now OK to blog it as it's one I rather liked. I have used a nice 'chunk' of corrugated from some old packaging, it's something I tend to hoard much to hubby's annoyance. I have also used a couple of pages from an old book.

One of the book pages has been sprayed with Dylusions and then the rose images stamped onto it and cut out and the offcuts used to make a rose using a punch for the petals. The base layer of corrugated has been liberally edged with Frantage, some cord tied round it and then another page of the book inked with DI round the edges then matted and layered and the cut out rose fixed centrally, plus a sentiment stamped onto another of the offcuts.

OK, now to offload some guilt, I keep making these promises to join in at Mo's Rudolph Day and Di's Snippets challenges but somehow I never quite get there. So here goes and it's a two in did say that would be OK Di's so hope I'm not going to get a rap on the knuckles and that I managed to link up by the skin of my teeth.

I've had this piece of Christmas DP hanging about for ages so cut a base card down to accommodate it and matted onto some gold mirri card. I cut the Tattered Lace sentiment from an offcut of the same colour mirri.......I always hoard the offcuts of mirri as it's expensive and comes in useful for sentiments. The mistletoe is cut and embossed from offcuts of pearl paper using TL Mistleto Trio set and I lightly inked with DI to give a greeny hue. Finally a gold organza bow.

Happy weekend all.

All lovely but I especially like the Christmas sentiment. Really delicate.

Sandma's Handmade Cards said...

Two wonderful cards Brenda. The rose looks fabulous stamped onto the book pages and I love the colours that you've used. I also think that the corrugated card works really well and was a clever idea. Your Christmas card is so beautifully elegant and the colours work together perfectly. I'm so pleased to hear that you are in better health after your holiday and long may it continue. Take care of yourself and have a lovely weekend x

ALI said...

Fab cards as always Brenda.
I do love saving bits and bobs especially if they are free lol
That corrugated card is great.
Love the colours on the Christmas one, bet you're getting sick of them by now.

Stamping Bubbles said...

Good morning Brenda
Two beautiful cards today. I too hoard things that "will come in useful". Every so often I have a huge tidy up (after much nagging from my hubby) and then spends hours at a later date looking for things I know I had but were disposed of in my clear out. No doubt I will be able to recycle something in my stash fro the Allsorts challenge.
I am pleased to hear the infections have finally taken the hint and gone away.
Take care

Great news that you feeling better Brenda.
The cards are beautiful.
Blessing weekend ,Elly

scrAPpamondo said...

Ciao Brenda, sono contenta che la salute del tuo dente sia migliore!!
I tuoi progetti di riciclo sono entrambi bellissimi!! Amo il look rustico della prima card, con il cartone ondulato che luccica, il fiore fatto a mano e la splendida rosa! E le foglie color perla nella seconda card sono davvero meravigliose con il fiocco dorato!
Spero che tu capisca il mio commento. Ovviamente per me è più facile scrivere in italiano... :D ma se vuoi posso continuare a scrivere in inglese! Fammi sapere come preferisci.

Marianne's Craftroom said...

So glad to hear the hospital are pleased with you. Gorgeous cards especially the top one, great recycling x

Pollard Carole said...

Stunning cards today I think your re cycled card is just amazing especially what you have done with that corrugated card its fabulous and such perfect flowers. The second card is so classy I love the elegant colours and dies Might have to take a little look at that mistletoe die Enjoy your weekend love and hugs Caorle x

KandA said...

Hi Brenda, I'm so glad to hear your health is improving. Love both these cards - great use of recycling (I threw out some old books and I'm kicking myself now) and gorgous colours on the first and the second is so elegant with the fabulous bunch of mistletoe. Have a great weekend xx

Sally H said...

Gorgeous cards, Brenda! I love them both. Happy Rudolf day and welcome to the snippet playground. I LOVE your mistletoe! Gorgeous!

Wendy L said...

Both cards a re lovely Brenda. I see a 'Poppy' mentioned in the text on the first one, and I did smile to myself,'trust Brenda to get a poppy on there somewhere'. Whenever I see poppies, I always think of you. xxxx

Di said...

Hi Brenda - first of all, I adore your 'Rose' card, it's beautiful. Many moons ago I made some roses using pages from an old book - never occurred to me to use another page as a background though!

And how lovely to see that you made it into the Snippets Playground - you get two goes on the swings for perseverance with the linking :) It's a gorgeous card you made using snippets - so soft and gentle too. I was convinced you'd used a very similar Inkylicious stamp for the sentiment - but what a stunning die cut it is!

Ha, laughed at the rap on the knuckles bit, I have so few 'rools' it's a wonder there's never outright mayhem in the Playground :) Hope the espresso is helping!

Craftyfield said...

I too have a cardboard hoard and my OH is equally unimpressed... I love up-cycling stuff in my crafting and get the distressed look of torn corrugated cardboard. Both lovely cards Brenda.
Have a super week end! xx

Ellibelle said...

Two beautiful creations, Brenda, each one beautifully designed.

scrappymo! said...

Two beautiful cards. I like the distressed feel of the first card. A real beauty that one. The image on the old book page is wonderful. A friend sent a German novel and a French novel to me and I will eventually try this technique too!

I am so pleased to see you at my little Rudolph Days Challenge. Your card is so elegant.I love the mistletoe cut from that pearl card. The mirri looks great too. I also hoard all my scraps as it is so pricey here too! I have a file folder for the mirri snippets and the glittered paper snippets. Seems to protect the surface from marring that way.

Thanks for taking part in the August Rudolph days Challenge.

Karen Petitt said...

Both of these are gorgeous Brenda. I have always been a recycler of card, board, cans and glass, in fact I used to nag my mum something rotten. Recently I've been recycling more and I've several cereal boxes cut up and waiting to be used, I'll try to join in this week and like you I always feel a tad guilty if I run out of time. However I love recycling as it helps me with the guilt I feel from buying card and paper Karen xx

Hi, Brenda, so happy to hear the infections are under control! Your cards are beautiful! I love the look of stamping on an old book page - this looks amazing! Your second card is stunning and very eye-catching! The mistletoe is so pretty in the pearlescent paper! You are a talented lady!

Two wonderful card Brenda, the first one reminds me that I have lots of corrugated card in different colours.
Much as I love them both, the bottom one is my favourite, I love the diecuts and the beautiful design :o)

Two great cards. Enjoy your weekend.

Ulrike Ewert said...

Hallo liebe Brenda,
einfach wunderschön deine beiden Karten und ich bin total begeistert,
glg ulrike

MaryH said...

oh my, I'm glad I don't have to decide which of these two beauties I like best. Of course I love the rose, and the wonderful texture of the corrugated background and {sigh} the lovely frontage edging. I just can't get that product to work well for me. The book paper made such a lovely backdrop for the gorgeous rose & leaves. #2 is also a big winner, and the mistletoe petals are beautiful. Lovely shimmer & shine..Is this a die or a stamp - it looks gorgeous. The color you've added to the pearl paper, added a lot of realism to the look and of course the glow of the mirror sentiment. That's a lovely die. Two just splendid cards, and how clever to fit to both Rudy Day and the Playground! Glad to hear the health issues are going away, your mojo has returned and you are on a roll! TFS & Hugs. Happy Sunday.

Note: Spoil Yourself Today

Wouldn't you love to do that everyday...spoil yourself? I sure would. One way I spoiled myself...pretty much buying everything in the Occasions Mini. Anyone else out there spoil themselves this way???

I think this is the last stamp set from the mini that I have to share. The 'Note' image and composition lines are from the Notes & Details stamp set. Not only is the font super cute, but the set is so versatile.

I actually did get to use the Springtime Vintage Fabric on this card. I used it as ribbon and also die cut a matching butterfly. I think they make quite the ensemble ;) Have you used any of the fabric? If so, I'd love to take a look. Be sure to leave me a link in the comments.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: Notes & Details (122022 or 122060) and Bring on the Cake (121899 or 121958)
Paper: Very Vanilla Cardstock (101650); Springtime Vintage DSP (121782)
Ink: Pear Pizzazz Classic Pad (119784)
Accessories: Designer Fabric-Springtime Vintage (121817), Big Designer Buttons-Springtime Vintage (122301), Beautiful Butterflies Die (114507), Linen Thread (104199) and Anywhere Glue Stick (104045)

LeAnne said...

This is so sweet....I did not indulge myself by buying everything but I sure wanted to! I need to use my fabric more--this is a nice way to incorporate it into a project!

Ken said...

That one is nice!

Julie B said...

This is super cute - love how you used the fabric and the button!

Joanne Leddy said...

So pretty! I love how you've used the fabric as ribbon - beautiful!

The First Line Of Assistance

Small business owners are seeing their globe change. 10 or Fifteen years in the past, a little business perhaps had 1 computer. Then the computer systems became more helpful, and much less costly, the average workplace went from one pc to perhaps 4 or 5. Then the networks came, linking the machines together and sharing data. Now, the next modifications are coming and are currently right here. A lot of our lives and data are being stored on the cloud. So, that means we don't really require those large difficult drives and servers hiding in the basement. This is great for most of us, as we don't need the price of sustaining all of that components. Servers have become inexpensive!

If you don't know the IP deal with of your pc, verify Extra Tips (given at the finish of the post). When done, leave the pc turned on. Do not turn off your pc as performing so will disable the remote computer from connecting to it. When you are at an additional location from where you want to link to your home computer for Outlook Specific emails, do this physical exercise. Click on the Begin menu and go to All Applications> Add-ons> Communications> remote desktop protocol. This will stay the same for Windows 7 and Vista too.

That's it. As soon as you have adopted these steps, you can accessibility your desktop from any other pc running that kind of Windows. Keep in mind that your computer methods probably already have rdp vps software on them. There's absolutely no sense in heading out and buying a software plan that does the exact same factor. Many of these have a monthly charge and a multiple pc price to go alongside with it. If you're operating Home windows, you currently have a secure and simple technique to link your computers.

When you use your desktop or a Computer then you don't need to be concerned about altering NS prefixes. It is only when you are using a Home windows VPS service then you will be needed to put in a title server prefix such as NS, NS1. This is carried out as it is assumed that you are internet hosting your personal hosting business.

ShowMyPC is an additional on-line service, and a popular option to LogMeIn Ignition. The upfront price to ShowMyPC is lower, but price of possession is higher overall because this services requires a monthly membership. The fantastic thing about this application is that it is not telephone particular.

The evaluate the website code and if they found any errors in the code your entire website does not get indexed by the search motor bots. Because of to that you may lose your web page ranking. To make sure your web site code is distinct Validate your web site code in the W3C's HTML Validation Services.

You will get the Log On to Home windows dialog box. Here you have to kind the password of the account with distant access privileges into the Password box. Now your distant desktop will be displayed in a window on the desktop.

One of the most asked for products I listen to from small business folks is accessing their function pc from a distant place. They don't want to spend the fees of services like GoToMyPC, Timbuktu, and so on. They want a reliable and price effective technique to get to their data remotely. Most people presume that this type of thing is as well complicated. I have information for you - you can do this. So, get a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and get prepared to go distant.

But there is nothing to be concerned about. As long as you have a fantastic IT group, you will still have the exact same safe pair of fingers looking following your new accounting software system.

Nautilus Plus Rdp

The totally free edition provides rdp, printing and file transfers. As you might already suspect, the Professional version offers many more options. One of those missing components of the free edition is transferring audio more than to the distant pc. As soon as once more it's free software to the rescue! You may have heard of or already use Skype. Again, Skype is simple to established up and there are only two "tricks" to utilizing it in a distant scenario like this. First, create 1 consumer account for your house desktop and rdp computer a various account for your remote computer. Second, set up the home desktop Skype to "Auto Solution" incoming phone calls. This environment is discovered below resources/options/call options/advanced segment. That way you can merely contact your self.

The fifth Internet hosting services providers to monitor your Windows rdp vps server and inform you if they offer any possible problem with your server, which helps you steer clear of any unexpected issues.

Sure, you can effortlessly head into the desktop context menu to toggle the icons on or off, but it's a great deal easier to use a hotkey, or stick an icon into the Quick Launch (which you can get back again on Home windows seven with a small trick). This how-to teaches you how to use a little utility that toggles the icons for you.

Now, as it turns out that my friend has this remote desktop protocol software known as GoToMyPC. I think other solutions, this kind of as PCAnywhere, could do essentially the same type of factor. But I wasn't truly familiar with what this software program can do till I noticed it in action. I was amazed that utilizing this software program he could access all his files at function via his laptop. Essentially, all he did was plug in to his desktop pc at work. He was able to manipulate his function files, and get the job carried out.

Rdp Xl 500

There are two disadvantages to using this. The initial 1 is that you can't access your desktop from a pc that is not included in your local region network. The 2nd drawback is that you cannot accessibility the desktop file if the other computer is closed.

You will get the Log On to Windows dialog box. Here you have to kind the password of the account with distant accessibility privileges into the Password box. Now your remote desktop will be displayed in a window on the desktop.

Sermon by the Rev. Amanda Currie

Acts 9:1-20
John 21:1-19

“Converted For Mission”

This week I was drawn into the story from the Book of Acts about Saul’s conversion to Christianity. Saul, the Pharisee, who was still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of Jesus, who was making plans to arrest any he found who belonged to the Way… Saul was going along and approaching Damascus, when suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard the voice of Jesus. And to make a long story short, he was converted from a persecutor of Christians to one of the most influential Apostles of Christ, who brought the Gospel to the Gentiles and recorded the Good News in writings and letters for generations to come.

Early in the week, I invited folks, with whom I shared the story, to think about their own stories of coming to faith in Jesus Christ. I wondered if some might have a story as dramatic as Saul’s experience. I remembered someone telling such a dramatic story many years ago when I was in university. I was at a Christian gathering on campus and there was a young man named Stephen telling his story of coming to faith, giving his testimony.

Stephen told us about the challenges of his childhood and teen years. His parents split up, and he was not a very happy child. He didn’t think that either of his parents really loved him, so he got into all kinds of rebellious activities, desperately trying to get their attention. He started drinking, and then doing drugs. He hung out with all kinds of seedy characters and had a lot of one-night stands. He dropped out of school, stayed out late every night, and slept during the daytime. When his mother tried to lay down the law, he moved out and crashed on an older friend’s couch.

On the night Stephen hit rock bottom, he got so drunk he could hardly see, and then he decided to go for a ride on a friend’s motorcycle. It’s a miracle that no one was killed, but Stephen ended up driving that bike through the plate glass window on the front of a department store. He survived the crash and was rushed to hospital where he spent many months recovering from broken bones, lacerations, and a huge loss of blood.

And that’s the night that his life changed, when he finally realized that it had to change or he was going to die. Everyone said that he should have been killed, that someone must have been taking care of him, and he realized that he was getting a second chance at life, another opportunity to do something with the gift that he had been given. A friend of his father’s came to visit him in the hospital and told him about Jesus, inviting him to turn his life over to God, and he did. He became a Christian, a follower of the Way, and eventually a person who was ready to share his faith, to tell his story, and to invite others to conversion as well.

During the fellowship time following Stephen’s testimony, I remember someone coming up to me and asking, “So, when did you become a Christian?” At first I was confused by the question because I didn’t remember “becoming” a Christian. I thought I’d always been one. While Stephen was doing drugs and living a wild life in high school, I was going to school, playing my French horn, and singing in the church choir. I didn’t have a dramatic story of conversion like Stephen or like Saul, and I couldn’t remember a time when I didn’t believe in God.

When I asked some members of our church community this week about their experiences of coming to faith, most of their stories were more like mine and less like Stephen’s. They spoke of families that went to church, said grace at mealtimes, and even if their Christian education was somewhat hit-and-miss, there was a foundation of faith laid in childhood – that God exists, and God is love, and God has come to us in Jesus Christ. At various times on their journeys, our church members had experienced times of particular closeness to God, times of recommitment to following the Way, and some had especially experienced the presence of God in the midst of challenges and crises.

But as they paused to remember their experiences of coming to faith, I heard a lot of gratefulness. Like Stephen, who was so thankful to God for a second chance and for the opportunity to turn his life around, I heard gratefulness from our church members for families, church communities, teachers and mentors who taught them about God and showed with their lives what it meant to live the way of Jesus.

This morning as we remember the conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus, I invite you to remember your own conversion… whether it was sudden and dramatic, or a slow and steady journey, whether you remember a moment when everything suddenly changed in your life, or you can’t keep track of all the moments of turning and returning to God who has been with you through your whole journey.

Just as Stephen remembered his father’s friend who first told him about Jesus during his long recovery in the hospital, I imagine Saul (or Paul) would always remember his experience on the road to Damascus and the disciple named Ananias who first prayed for him and shared his faith with him.

I know that I’ll always remember George who showed me what God was like in the way he loved and taught the children of my church when I was growing up. I’ll always remember Mike who prayed for me when I was going through a tough time as a teenager, and helped me to experience the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. And I’ll always remember Pauline who listened to me sharing a reflection in my church community, and helped me to recognize what God was calling me to do with my life.

What about you? Who are the people that you will always remember? I invite you to remember them now, to give thanks to God for them and the difference they have made in your life, in your journey of faith…

You know, Ananias was pretty hesitant about the whole idea of going to find Saul. God told Ananias to go and find Saul, to lay hands on him, to pray for him, and to heal him of his blindness. But Ananias had heard all about this man, and he knew this would be a dangerous mission. Saul was an enemy of the earliest Christian community. Ananias had heard about all the evil that Saul had done against the saints in the Jerusalem, how he had authority from the chief priests to bind anyone who invoked the name of Jesus.

But God said, “I have chosen Saul. He is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring my name before Gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel.” And that’s exactly what Saul (later Paul) went on to do. He was a leader, a teacher, a writer, and an encourager. He was an Apostle to the nations who had the most amazing impact on the early Christian Churches and on the Church through the centuries.

Ananias was probably surprised. Saul was probably even more surprised. But God is full of surprises… unlikely, outrageous, amazing things happen quite a lot when God is around… oppressed people are set free, rebellious people are forgiven and given another chance, sick people are made well, a boy’s lunch becomes a feast for thousands, and fishermen and tax collectors become preachers and healers. When God is around… angry people learn to love, people in conflict make peace with each other, excluded and forgotten people are welcomed and embraced, sad or lonely or discouraged people are lifted up by the joy of knowing God’s presence and love.

The Apostle Peter, of course, is another great example. He was an unlikely choice for a leader in the first place, but Jesus called the simple working man, Simon, to become the rock of his church. As Peter remembered his experience of coming to faith years later, we can imagine that he remembered the day Jesus showed up and caught all those fish. Simon was so astonished that he dropped his nets to follow the man he would soon declare to be the Messiah of God.

Although Peter’s faith seemed strong at first, he wasn’t as solid as a rock through the difficult journey of following Jesus through his betrayal, and arrest, and crucifixion by the Romans. In the midst of the crisis, Peter got scared and denied even knowing who Jesus was.

But the experience of conversion, the experience of turning towards God and changing the purpose and direction of our lives, is not something that happens only once for most of us. For Paul, there was that key moment on the road to Damascus when he was confronted with his own sin and pointed towards a new way of life. But for Peter the encounter with Jesus was repeated… another miraculous catch of fish, and another invitation to turn and follow Jesus with his life.

And I think that most of our faith journeys are like that. We can look back to remember and give thanks for moments of hearing God’s voice, of recognizing God’s presence, of beginning again and turning our lives more towards the way of Jesus. And we can look forward with hope and expectation because God will continue to come to us, to speak to us, to call us again and again to follow Jesus with our lives. No matter what mistakes we’ve made, no matter how many times we’ve drifted away, or denied our faith, or failed to follow through.

“Do you love me?” Jesus asks you again today.

“Yes? Then feed my lambs.” Do what I did. Share my love. Care for my children. Spread my Gospel.

“Do you love me?” Jesus asks you again.

“Yes? Then tend my sheep.” Look out for the lost ones. Pay special attention to the poor ones and the weak ones. Be a good shepherd like me, one who cares more about the sheep than about himself.

“Do you love me?” Jesus asks a third time.

“Yes?” Don’t be upset that Jesus asks it a third time. Jesus will ask you again and again… inviting you again and again to declare your love not only with your words, with your “yes,” but with your life, with what you do and say and what you decide.

“Do you love me?” Jesus asks, “Then feed my sheep. Follow me.”

Tanis Renard

Tanis Renard
Tanis renard.jpg
Played By: Sarah Deakins
Race: Hebridians
Planets: Hebridan

A criminal being transported in cryogenic suspension on-board the Hebridian ship Serberus, when the ship crashed on to an unknown planet, the prison guards were forced to revive the prisoners. When the guards had gone in search for food, the Tanis Renard and the other prisoners took the opportunity to overtake the ship, killing all those on-board.

Keeping control of the ship for over 3 years, the prisoners were given the hope that they were looking for when SG1 discovered them. Posing as the real owners of the ship, Tanis Renard, took the place as the First officer and managed to convince SG1 that the Serrakins were aliens that have constantly attacked them since they crashed on the planet.

During an encounter with the Serrakins, Renard was injured and returned with Jonas Quinn to the SGC to be treated. Once in the SGC, Renard spun tales of how her parents died when she was young, and how she has served Corso since she graduated from flight school 10 year previously.

However, soon Jonas and Hammond became suspicious of Renard and set a trap for her. Showing her countless riches, from planets, Jonas fed her inner criminal. When they returned to the planet, Renard told the others about the planet, and they followed her through the gate to come to Earth where they are apprehended.
