Cards for Guys

 Since I started making cards, I have given Mom a year's supply of birthday, Easter, and Valentine's Day cards.  I find it hard to create cards for guys,  primarily because I love soft colors, florals, and doily-like die cuts.  To make cards for the guys on the list, I ordered a set from Creative Worship Stanps called Birthday Guy, and to give it a trial run, I made a card with each of the four stamps.  

Now for the fun news:  Creative Worship is this week's sponsor at Word Art Wednesday. Hope you will join us for inspiration, both spiritual and creative, and for a chance to win a great price from Creative Worship Stamps.

Rejoice Evermore!

I don't know about you, but it's the succinct, clear commands of God that are easily comprehended but often hard to follow.  Rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, and do everything without complaining.  There is much to rejoice about when we ask God to focus our hearts on Him.  He is always good, and I have come to realize that if the ONLY thing He had ever done for me was to give the gift of salvation, that is more than enough to keep me rejoicing for the eternity He has given me to praise Him.  

Along with this week's Word Art Wednesday scripture, my card includes scraps from an American Crafts 6x6 card stock pad and some retired dies from My Favorite Things and Verve.

Thanks for visiting and please join us for another fun challenge at Word Art Wednesday.

Blessings, 

Christine

 

Formed and Set Apart by God

 Someone who shares a card at Word Art Wednesday is in for  a big treat!  Stamp Simply is sponsoring the current challenge, and their stamps and dies are amazing!  I love Stamp Simply's Welcome Baby set; it's a go-to for baby cards I make for a pregnancy resource center ministry and to give to friends, as well.  

This card was created from strips of paper that came from a group purchased at Michael's and sold in a 6 x 6 pouch.  It's down to strips and scraps, but I found enough to layer for a sweet baby card.  

Hope you will join us at Word Art Wednesday!

Blessings,

Tell of all HIS Works for WAW

 This is another card that came from a crafting windfall when someone cleaned out a 12 x 12 scrapbooking stash.  I cut the papers and scraps into card fronts and organized them in a bin....it's like having something new and I think it's creatively stimulating.

Hope you will join the challenge at Word Art Wednesday where a great prize is ready to be one by a  participant and will be awarded by random draw.

God Remembers His Covenant

 

Our God is so faithful!  The reference to Him remembering His covenant is not a sign that He forgets but that He acts upon it and faithfully upholds His part of the promise.

Hope you will visit Word Art Wednesday to share your art.  You are welcome to download the scripture for any type of project in which you wish to utilize it, but that's not a requirement.  There is always a prize for a randomly-selected participant.  Please come see us!
