" But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." James 1:22

Hello Sweet Friends! Last week I picked up a letter board wall décor set at Kohl's. So yesterday I picked the above Bible verse to display... today I got the weekly e-mail from Chap Bettis (I am reading his Disciple-Making Parents book) and he is talking about how we assume that information is enough. We think that information leads to transformation... but information needs application to lead to transformation... otherwise we are deceived... see James 1:22

So... I made something new! Yay! I have been crafting, but mostly recreating old designs... but yesterday I opened a stamp set I had never used before (I have a lot of those). It's nothing fancy, but I love it...

I am linking this up at Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenge: Flower Power, at Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes, and at CAS(E) This Sketch #269.

Thanks for stopping by,

" Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

Hello Friends! I had a lot of fun filling this shaker with microbeads, chunky glitter and flat sequins (there's another name for it, but I can't remember). It's an easy WOW! card for sure!

God is love

  

"It is because of God's loving kindness that we are not consumed, because of his compassion doesn't fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. God is my portion, says my soul; therefor will I hope in him. God is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him." Lamentations 3:22-25

Hello Sweet Friends! I've been trying to use up scraps from my table... I had some flowers laying around so I combined them with the banner from a fairly new stamp set from Stampin' Up! When I say new, I mean I just received it, even though it came out couple (?) of months ago...

  

I love how it turned out... I want to make more of these and put them in frames! I just have to stamp up some more flowers!

I am linking this up at Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge: Add Some Texture. The oval frame has dry embossing so that adds a lovely subtle texture to the card. Love it! The Spellbinders die set is an old treasure!

rosie posie birthday.

 

Hello! Spring is in the air and I am ready to create colorful flowery cards. Those are my favorites anyway, so it's not much of a stretch. LOL! 

I set down and enjoyed some old products... like the decorative square nestabilities die (on sale at Spellbinders so you could snag it for a great price) and more Roise Posie images.

  
The background is spritzed lightly with black ink... just so it's not so white. The strip of paper is clearance find from Hobby Lobby...
