Don't carry that burden...

Isn't it a great thing to know you that you can

God tells us that we can "Cast all our anxieties on Him..."

have as a Child of God

to count on God's Love for you and that

HE CARES FOR YOU!

can be saved and printed for your 

personal use only and fits an 8.5" x 11" frame.

Enjoy!

Praise the Name of God

Each time I think about praising 

the name of God in song, I remember 

family get togethers and how my family

would gather to sing 

old hymns around my Mamaw's 

antique grand piano as she or my mother

played the music and the harmonies from

family began to melt together.

Each time I read this Scripture, I

remember fondly those days and 

feel so blessed to have such a 

rich Christian heritage...

and I give Thanks!

This digital scripture art was created with

My Digital Studio and can be saved and printed

to fit and 8"x10" frame.

Enjoy!

Walking with God...

Sometimes we need a little 

encouragement to MOVE...

You know it and I know it...

we get in a rut and forget to exercise...

But I encourage you to grab your music 

and your walking shoes and get moving...

Although our physical health is important - - -

Don't forget the best walk you can

ever take is with God...

Spend time with Him each day and enjoy

reaching your destination!

Save and Print this graphic 

for your personal use only.

Enjoy!

Grace

God's Grace....What a wonderful, powerful,

perfect thing to have in time of weakness!

I created this great artwork digitally 

and it is printable at 8" x 10" for 

you to put in a frame if you desire.

Enjoy!

A Week of Scripture Inspiration

I love this Scripture and 

I immediately think of God

filling my cup when I hear the phrase...

"The Lord is my portion..."

This cute simple and sweet art is 

framable once saved and printed 

at an 8" x 10" size or smaller.

Enjoy your day as you wait for Him

to show you His faithfulness!

Once in a Lifetime...

This card was created from a great little stamp  

that is part of the See Ya Later Stamp Set 

in the 2014 Sale-A-Bration  from Stampin' Up!

The color combination of Cherry Cobbler, Summer Starfruit 

and Basic Gray is quite attractive.  I used the 

Decorative Dots Embossing folder to deboss 

the layer of block colors.  In Color Stitched Ribbon in 

Summer Starfruit was added as an accent under the 

Whisper White layer for the Sentiment that was stamped in

Basic Gray and accented with the Red Glimmer heart.

I hope your day is filled with Love!

Key to My Heart

Today's feature for 14 Days of Love

is elegant and quick to create.

This 5" square card of Whisper White has a

layer of Designer Series Paper from the Fresh Prints 

Paper Pack adhered with Dimensionals.

Next, using a great set of 

Spellinders Heart Circles Dies, 

I created the Real Red foundation.

I then added a Heart shape cut 

with the Hearts Framelits

and adhered a Golden Lock Plate 

cut from a Gold Foil Sheet.

To do this I started with a square and

punched a Tiny Tag shape

 out of the middle

and then crafted the outer shape 

to look like a lock plate.

Both were embossed with the 

Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder 

before being adhered to the 

heart foundation with Dimensionals.

The key was cut using the 

Gold Foil Sheet again and

Spellbinders Lacy Hearts Dies.

Notice that the 3 mini hearts on the 

Whisper White Heart were the punched 

hearts that came out of the 

Hearts Circles Die of Real Red.

I hope today's share of Love warms your heart!

A Little Valentine Shaker....

I love Valentine's Day almost as much as Christmas

 and I love this cute Valentine Shaker Card.

I used some scrapbooking paper 

I had for the background,

added a heart shaped window 

by punching the lower left corner.

Then I added a transparency sheet

and punched a ton of tiny hearts.  

I then placed Dimensionals on the backside of the

heart shaped window in a solid line

 creating an encasement to hold my 

teeny tiny little hearts and I closed it with a scrap 

of white paper to match my card foundation.

Create a flag with the Be My Valentine Stamp from 

Delightful Dozen stamped in Real Red and

 punch the edge with the Full Heart Punch.

I then created a frame for the window 

using my heart punch and a heart shaped frame lit.

(I ADORE THOSE FRAMELITS)

I embossed the framelit  and added the 

banner before adding it to the window - 

and then I dressed it up with a little bling!

To finish, add the windowed layer 

to the card foundation.

Enjoy a little Love today!

Love you to the Moon....

What a sweet thought - - - 

"I love you to the Moon and back!"

I love to use scraps and this card 

was the perfect way to use some 

paper scraps from the Fresh Prints Designer Series 

Paper Stack out of my "magic box". 

I made the larger moon by cutting the circle 

using the Circles Framelits by Stampin' Up

and then I ran it through the Big Shot with the 

Decorative Dots Textured Embossing Folder

(using the debased side).  I then sponged Basic Gray 

around the edges and over the "craters" in the moon.

I punched the small hearts from the Small Heart Punch 

and the banner tab came from the Petal Cone die 

and it was cut from the new 

2013-15 Stampin' Up! InColor Coastal Cabana. 

(LOVE that color!)

When making the oval for the 

LOVE YOU TO THE MOON sentiment

I used Whisper White Cardstock and 

Stampin' Up Markers in the colors:

Real Red, Summer Starfruit, 

Basic Gray and Bermuda Bay.

Enjoy a little love today!

Cherubs & Golden Arrows

I love the way this sweet and EASY 

Valentine card came together...

I started with a 5" x 10" card base of 

Marina Mist scored in half with a coordinating piece

of scrapbooking paper that is 4.75" square.

I found these sweet heart shaped doilies 

and knew right away I would use them for a card.

I added the cherub and golden arrow cut from 

a big shot die using Pink Pirouette Cardstock and

the Gold Foil Sheets from Stampin' Up!

Using the Real Red Ink - I sponged the edges of the 

cherub to create a distressed effect - Viola! - sweet card!

I hope you love today's share of love!

14 Days of Love - Day 1

Valentine's Day is right around

the corner . . . and today starts the 

2014 {INK}redible Love Share. 

I hope you'll pop in each day 

for some Valentine fun!

Today's feature is a cute File Folder Card 

created with the Envelope Punch Board!

This sweet file folder card was created using:

Real Red Cardstock and Classic Ink,

Fresh Prints Designer Paper, Chevron Punch,

Full Heart Punch, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder,

Language of Love Stamp Set

and Whisper White Organza Ribbon.

God gives me strength...

I'm involved in a super 
Online Bible Study at Proverbs 31 Ministries.
Made to Crave is the current study.
#CraveGod 
I created this scripture art for my study group.

When we look forward into a New Year and set our goals, 

sometimes we become overwhelmed and /or intimidated 

by what we have set out to achieve.   

God will move every obstacle in our way 
when we walk with him.

Let this scripture encourage you as you 

step forward to reach your goals this year.
