MM431: I LOVE YOU

Hello everyone! Just popping in to share my card for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge for this week.

(A2: Stamps: My Favorite Things; Die: Lawn Fawn; Stencil: The Crafter’s Workshop)

I love mixing hard and soft items like burlap and pretty ribbon, or deep, dark colors with soft femine colors. I used all of that on this card to creat a feminine “love” card.  The embossing paste is colored with a bit of antique gold Perfect Pearls so that the flourishes blend with the brown.   I  hope you enjoyed my card!

Thanks for stopping by!

CTB: 6th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION SKETCH

Hello sweet friends!  I am stopping in today to share my card that I am submitting to the  Bugaboo Catch the Bug challenge.  This is Bugaboo’s 6th birthday, so they are having a big celebration. I made this card for the sketch challenge:

(A2: Stamps:  Bugaboo (Pups Balloons), Paper Smooches (sentiment); Die: Spellbinders) 

This is another digital stamp that I got before Christmas, and once again, I am just getting around to using it. This cutie is colored with Copics and die cut with a SB oval, using the Out of the Box technique. I added various types of stitches and a Paper Smooches sentiment.  The balloon by the sentiment is cut from paper and coated with Glossy Accents. What do you think?

BIBLE JOURNAL #3

Hello blogging friends!  How was your week? It has been rainy and cold here most of the week, but this weekend has been clear and a tiny bit warmer. This was one of those weeks where everything gets out of whack and doesn’t go as planned, so I got really behind on everything. Here is my Bible Journal entry for this week, and I believe my journal for next week will be a companion to this one.

“As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.” 1 John 2:24 (ESV)

My word for this year is ABIDE. I looked up all verses that include the word abide and was surprised at how many there are. Next, I decided to look up synonyms to use in my journal entry. I have only included five this week. I chose these five because they fit the meaning in this verse. I am excited to learn more about what the Bible has to say about ABIDE and share more thoughts on it.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please take a second to let me you were here!

Have a blessed Sunday!
