Do You Have Some? Do You Need Some?
Do You Have Some? Do You Need Some? This morning I was talking to a friend on the phone and I realized something I hadn’t thought about in a long time “my health”. In 2014, I worked hard at regaining my health but there was one area I had forgotten about. For the past 2-3 weeks I have felt my energy level dropping to an all time low again. Not only has this affected me at home but in my ability to work. I have been lacking energy and inspiration to create. Join me today as I share more about what is going on behind the scenes. In addition, if you need a boost of inspiration I have a fun technique to share with you.
Do You Have Some?
I want to begin by apologizing for not posting the second part to last week’s tutorial until today. Honestly, I have not had the energy to do anything but just sleep. For weeks, I have been wondering what is wrong with me. I have been wondering if the stress of changes we are facing has me feeling this way. Am I just not knowing how to deal with it? How do I snap out of it?
When I spoke to my friend Cathy this morning she asked me, “Have you had your iron levels checked?”. Oh my goodness!!! I forgot that I suffer from low iron levels and haven’t had my iron levels checked in a year. I had my first Iron Infusion a year ago and shared my experience in THIS POST. It was an eye opening experience.
Thank God for friends who help remind me of these things. I will be scheduling blood tests this week so I can see where my levels are at and I am pretty sure I am overdue for an Iron Infusion. Do You Have Some energy you can send my way? If you do, please send it to me and say a prayer that I will regain my strength. Lots going on behind the scenes and I need strength.
Whatever you are facing today, please remember this: Look Back: Thank Him, Look Forward: Trust Him, Look Around: Serve Him, Look Up: He’s all You Need.
Do You Need Some Inspiration?
Last week, I shared the first part of this project as I showed you how to create the beautiful Metal Embossed Heart. You can see that post HERE. This metal embossed heart is so easy to make and creates such a stunning look using Scarlet Red Craft Metal Sheets, Heart Swirls Stencil, and the No More Shims Embossing Mat found in the Add a Little Dazzle Boutique.
Today, I will share with you how to create the beautiful metal embossed background you see on the lid. This is both machine embossed and hand embossed. Using both forms of embossing creates a beautiful look.

Adding this antique background to your projects adds a stunning effect. This background can be used to create beautiful cards, notebooks, picture frames and much more. Make sure to watch the video to learn how to create this beautiful technique. Then, make sure to click on each of the links above so you can see samples of how I used this technique on different projects. You will love it!
Once you have watched the video and seen the inspirational projects, make sure to place your order for all the supplies you will need. Make sure to send us pictures of your beautiful creations so we can showcase them on our blog. Have fun and let me know if you have any questions!
Hope the tests give you direction, nice to have friends to remind you.
I hope you find out what is wrong with your energy level!!
