Beautiful Awakening Project

Hi Everyone,

Todays project is an extension of "The Greatest of These is Love" mini album based 1 Corinthians 13:13.  This scripture says, "Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love." So I created a card that reminds us of the gift of hope that we have in the Lord. It reminds me of the promises that await us in His word. 

Hope is defined as  

1. To look forward to with confidence or expectation

2. Archaic: To have confidence; trust.

I love these definitions!  All the promises of God are yes and amen and these definitions just reinforce that what He has for us is for us! That we can remain confident in the gift of hope that we have; for a future, the hope of His peace, joy, and comfort, the hope of eternal life with Him. And this is just the start of greater things.  AMEN!!!  Whoo, I'm getting myself stirred up and excited and it's time for me to go and have myself a praise party!!

I used Sketch 117 from the "The Deconstructed Sketch" for the layout of the card.

Well there you have it. I want to thank you all so much for stopping by and I will catch you all next time.

5 Card Friday - Month 2

Hi Everbody,

This is the second month of my 5 Card Friday.  These cards are created each month so that I will have a total of 60 cards to distribute in December for the Christmas season.  I was playing around with some KandCompany paper that I had and some stickers from another collection to create this first card.  This card is a stretch from my normal style but it is good for me to venture outside my comfort zone.

For the second card i chose to go ultra simple.  The simpler the better.  I saw the Noel stamp and wanted that to be the focus.

Then I found the digital designs of Meljen. They are so super cute and I knew when I saw them I had to use them!!
