SCRC209-Grace

Week 10 for Patter's challenge was the word Grace. Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace

I like the way this one turned out, except for the spacing in the text. Other than that it's simple, and brings my attention more on the words than the design. I need to spend more time reading my Bible. And on Sunday I listen to Dr. Charles Stanley. I know nothing replaces being in Church on Sunday, and one of these days I'll get back there:)

The satin heart in the middle of the ribbon knot is from Ali. Thank you Ali! This worked out perfectly on this layout:) I can't remember the paper I used, except that it was from my scrap bin!

SCRC209-Trust

Eeeeyikes! I haven't been keeping up on the scripture challenge. Not to mention me bad blogger! Week 8 for Patter's scripture challenge was the word Trust. For this challenge I chose two verses from the NIV Bible.

Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

And one of my favorites Proverbs 3: vs 5&6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.


I don't know how many times I have asked myself why my Dad being such a healthy man got cancer. Before he got cancer he was the kind of man who could never sit still. He enjoyed taking trips on his on his scooter. Cleaning up the yard, and visiting neighbors often. Now he can barely get around and he is under the constant care of My Mom. So why? is a question that is totally beyond any human understanding. And the only thing we have is to trust in God!

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

SCRC209-Peace

SCRC209-Peace-week 6

This is my 8X8 layout for Patter's challenge for week 6. I still haven't gotten around to the week 5 challenge which is change. As I read through the scriptures God wasn't leading me in any paticular direction. Soooo I'll have to get back to that one:)

The layout- I got a little carried away with the stickles on this one but it was ohhh so fun! Though I don't like having to wait n wait for the stickles to dry before I can work any further. (I punt as I go)

Stamp was borrowed from a dear friend of mine Stampin'Up Cottage Rose set. Thanks Eileen:)

Thanks for visiting,

SCRC209-wait

1 Corinthians 4:5 (New International Version)

Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

The backround paper was from a booklet for a sales promo at work. Stamp is by the Northwoods collection. I could have done without the inking on the sides; the background is clean and bold, but it was already done and I wasn't about to do it over:)

SCRC209-Beauty

Oh where does the time go? The week 3 challenge word for SCRC209 was the word beauty. I always use the NIV (New International Version) because that's the one that I bought several years ago and is sitting by my bedside.

I've been using Bible Gateway to look up passages on the word of the week and find myself wanting to read the verse God is leading me to in context.

It has been about 4 years since I've read the good Book, and I thank God for Patter who is bringing me closer to the Lord. Slowly I'm remembering what is was like to be born again in the Holy Spirit.

SCRC209-Week 3-Beauty

SCRC209-Kindness

Week 2-kindness

Titus 3 vs 4-7

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Beauty is the word for week three. Hopefully I'll post it by tommorrow night.

SCRC209-Faith

I am thrilled to be part of the Scripture challenge at Split Coast Stampers. Lord knows I needed this desperately. I'll be working on a 8X8 album to set out on an end table or somewhere in my home where I can easily find it.

Not only this challenge but 2 more Faith based challenges at SCS ! No one can ever be to bored here!

This is the first page that will go in my album. SCRC209-Faith

This card was done a few weeks ago. Very fun sketch. I can't remember what PP I used on this card, but I know it was from the Basic Gray collection. I used a full sheet label for the Merry Christmas. Pretty slick since I don't have a lot of word stamps. Can't remember the font I used though. If anyone who comes to visit knows what PP this is give me a holler back:)
Peace, Love, and all the good stuff,
