Spirit-ed Mini Album

This week's challenge at FaithSisters is sponsored by Making Memories. They very kindly sent us a wonderful package of goodies to work with- and are sponsoring an RAK for the winner of the challenge. Definitely come on over and join in- yo might even win!

For my album, I made an acrylic album, featuring our fur babies. You might recognize the Scripture:

Journaling: "Jesus said the if we love him, we will act like Him. He also promises that if we ask, He will help! Here is a verse from the Bible to remember: the fruit of the Spirit is... love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self control. Against such things, there is no law, Gal 5:22"

Live

Just a quick post and then I am off for the day...literally!! We are closed, and we are going shopping- woo-hoo!! So....For the word this week, I chose a 'motto', more or less. This is actually part of a verse, and was used in reference to Christ. I have decided to make it a life prayer, however. "I have come to do your will, oh Lord," HB 10:7 I tell you what- it's just not a bad mantra.... You guys have a great day, and a blessed holiday!!

4 God So Loved ME!

This is for the Easter Challenge at FaithSisters...come join us!!
I scrapped this one 8 1/2x11 so I could add it to my scrappy section of my prayer journal...


The verse is: "In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents," Lk 15:10

And, now, the TOOT!! I have been named to the 2008-2009 design team over at My Sketch World...woo-hoo! I am very excited- these are some wonderful sketches. If you have never visited, I would encourage you to take a look- there are layout sketches in a variety of sizes and formats, and lots of lovely card sketches, too. Definitely a wonderful resource for any scrapper!!

Grace

OK- I am starting with this one- but only cause I got a bit behind. Was crazy busy last week with other project...but will have to wait to show you most of those, deign team- *wink*- stuff.

For this card, I DOVE into the fun new Animal Crackers line from Making Memories. You may remember, I won a package of these yummies during CHA. This is just too cute- and fun to play with! I chose the verse: "For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast," Eph 2:8-9

School Bus

I saw this pattern on the internet, and knew it would make the perfect card- so I had to make it up!! I hand cut and pieced this all- and love the way it turned out!! Now, off to enter this in this week's Caardvark Challenge...

4 ME

This week's challenge at Faithsisters is Redirection- tell about a time God has changed the direction of you life, or something you are doing...

Journaling: I've wanted to be a teacher as long as I can remember. But, it was days after I gave my life to Jesus, when I heard Him say: do it...4 Me!

A Flower-y Good Day

I loved the stitching around the edge of this one. The flower is chipboard, lightly painted, to add texture. The ribbon is from Ribbon FX. The stamp was a Studio G- I just love those stamps!!

Rocking Horse

I totally enjoyed coloring this little guy...bit, then I have loved Teddy Bears for years. Is he not the cutest, though...

The paper for this is from a tablet I found at Big Lots called Zoophabetz2. The Image was a coloring page from the web, scaled to size.

Have a great weekend!!

Pretty in Pink

This week's challenge at Faith Sisters is to scraplift a layout from the gallery. I decided to scraplift Karma: http://www.faithsisters.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/9103/cat/fav


This is my sister's cat, and the boy just loves all things pink! His favorite toy in the world is a pink fluffy purse he stole so many times from the kids, that we gave it to him, lol!

Ladybug Thoughts

I was playing with flocking with this card...and had alot of fun. A great tip I read somewhere- don't use glue, use your adhesive runner. Just run it over the area you want flocked, add the flock, tap it in good, and shake off excess. It really is cleaner, and covers a lot better!!

Anyway- the paper for this is DCWV and Sizzix, Ribbon is Ribbon FX, and piecing is mine. Flocked the dots and head on the ladybug.

This is just AWESOME!!!
