Treasure Each Other

I seem to blog a lot about friendship and God's blessings of the special people in my life.  I don't ever want to take those relationships for granted.  My friendship circle is a true treasure and I thank God daily for YOU.  

Thursday night is SCRAP night on Christian Card Maker.  My card was made using a sentiment from a daily calendar and features the Whimsy stamp Dolly designed by Sylvia Zet.  

May this bring a smile to you tonight as you think about your special friends.  Don't forget to tell them how important they are to you....don't wait.

The Beauty of a Sunset

Today blog is showcasing the Unity Stamp Sunset Promise, one that is quickly becoming my top choice.  Loving the beach and living at the lake - the time I spend by the water is such a solitude and closeness with My God and with nature.  

These cards are done using the Unity sentiment first and then I enlarged a stamped image to use for the Word Art Wednesday scripture this week from Psalm 90:12.

Both cards are printed on Neenah Bright white card stock and Copic colored.  The Unity card has a white pearled starfish accent piece added.  This will make a perfect Sympathy or Encouragement card. 

The second card with the Word Art Wednesday scripture reminds us our days are numbered and our focus on God must remain strong each day as we seek His will for our lives. 

An additional sparkle to the water was added in this card, using some glitter nail polish. 

Thank you for stopping by today - May your day be blessed and may you enjoy a SUNSET ... maybe even by the water.

Number Our Days

Today's featured card is a combination of Word Art Wednesday's 

scripture verse from Psalm 90:12 and 

Whimsy Stamp from the Crissy Armstrong Collection

Froggie Friends.

My stamped image was copic colored and then each piece was die cut using Gina Marie's Pleated Rectangles.  I then chose an Easel Card base since each of the pieces turned out large.  The tent fold on the Easel is tucked under the pleated edge of the bottom die when standing.  A threaded loopy bow is holding a dragon charm that are available at Lori's Lovely Paper Crafts.  

I'd also like to share the scripture from Word Art Wednesday and hope that you too will make a card and submit your entry for some great prizes on their blog site. 

Thank you for stopping by today ~ May your day be blessed!

Filled with Blessings

Today's card features Whimsy Crissy Armstrong Collection "Noah's Ark".  

I wanted to make this card generic, so it could be used for anything from  baby boy's birth to a card of encouragement and reminder of how much God loves each of us.

In addition to the Whimsy Noah's Ark stamp, I used copic markers, and Darice Book Page Dies for the image and sentiment.  Blue and green sequins and a loopy bow were added as finishing touches to the striped background and red border strip.

I am the Resurrection and the Life

Today's card was inspired by a Pinterest posting using the Darice embossed cross folder.  This simple, yet elegant design, speaks to each of us in a powerful way during this season approaching Easter Sunday.  

Many churches erect a wooden cross in the church yard this time of year with the deep purple drape.  As you drive by, take a moment to give thanks that HE IS RISEN!

For we are told in John 11:25-26, 

"I am the resurrection and the life, 

He who believes in me will live,

even though he dies;

and whoever lives and believes

 in me will never die."

May your day be filled with blessings!

Taking A Glance ~ Envelope Challenge

This months 'Envelope Challenge' on Addicted to Card Making was hosted by Jennie.  It continues to be my favorite challenge as 15 ladies receive the same supplies to make a card and the results are so amazingly different and unique.  

For my card I added the Unity QUINN girl stamped and copic colored and I lightly inked the butterfly with Tim Holtz Distress ink, Salty Ocean.  

All other supplies were what was included in the envelope.

Jennie provide us with a great stamped sentiment that could be used for many different cards.  Inside my card I added the scripture from Isaiah 43:18, 

"Remember not the former things, not consider the things of old"...

 Another great project envelope ~ Thanks Jennie!

Thank you for stopping by and please come back to visit often.

You Need Only to BE STILL

Today's card is focused on the scripture Exodus 14:14, 

The Lord will FIGHT for you, you need only to Be Still.

I combined this scripture with the Christian Card Maker Sketch Challenge design for this simple, calming card. With such a powerful message, I didn't want to add too much to take away from the focus of the scripture.  

I think this will make a great card for someone facing a long recovery from an illness or similar life battle. It has actually been quite comforting to me making the card and meditating on this as my Dad will be going through a medical procedure today. God always puts His word there for us, right on time!

The CCM Sketch provide for the challenge:

and a digital scripture image for your future use.

May your day be blessed and may you find time to BE STILL and allow God to be God.

Seek The Lord and His Strength

Today's card is a combination of the scripture provided by Karen  at Word Art Wednesday and the artwork design by Ginny at Maxam Made Studio.  

My card was also done as part of the Friday Fellowship on Christian Card Maker ~ Womens' Fellowship Facebook Group.

What a wonderful verse 1 Chronicles 16:11 is to meditate on today, our day of rest.  

After lightly Copic coloring, I used the Gina Marie Fancy Vine Frame to cut the image design and the background blue matting frame and two 5mm gun metal flat backs were added to for the final touch.

Sharing the freebies from Karen and Ginny so that you too can create your card to send an encouraging message to someone in need.

May your day be blessed as you Seek the Lord in all that you do.

Wherever You Go

Today's card is my recent submission to Sassy Stampers Anything Goes challenge.  

For my card I used Unity's Willow Girl with an alternate sentiment.  Image was copic colored then mounted on an orange swiss dotted rectangle and added to the craft card base.  And additional 1/2" strip was added to give grounding to the charmed butterfly.
