Word Art Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Annual WAW Christmas Blog Hop which runs during the two weeks of  our December 20 challenge.  

The sponsor for the current challenge is Stix2Anything, company specializing  adhesives provided in a variety of formats and which projects like the one I am sharing today so much easier.  Check out the double-sided adhesive sheets and the mini hot melt glue gun!

My project began with a Sunny Studio mitten die cut from a cereal box panel.  Double-sided adhesive sheets created a firm bond between the patterned paper and the chipboard.  After covering the base on both sides, I attached a wire hanger and created a dimensional bouquet attached with hot glue.  It can hang on a gift bag or the tree.

Now for the Blog Hop Prize.......  Pretty papers, ribbon, and Nuvo embellishments all in Christmas colors!  To be eligible for the prizes shown on the Blog Hop list, it's necessary to visit each blog and to leave a comment.  As always, the sponsor prizes are drawn from the entries in the project link-up.

God of our Salvation for WAW

 

I love to ink fall leaves, and this die is one from a collection by The Greetery.  It was just what I wanted to accent this sweet Psalm of praise to our good God.  The Word Art scripture file is available to all at Word Art Wednesday, along with a devotional that will bless you.  There is always a nice prize for a participant selected by random draw.  I hope you will play along!

Blessings,

Taste and See that the Lord is Good

This little journal was so much fun to create.  It started as a half-sheet of heavy black cardstock cut to 5.5 x 11.  It was scored and folded at 4.25 with the remaining length creating the flap on the right-hand side.  I covered the journal inside and out with patterned papers and extended the striped flap by gluing the white die cut on the right hand side only.  There is a small magnet holding the white die cut to the cover on the left side.  The signatures were scored and tied in place with the black eyelash yarn.  The messy ribbon tassel is attached with a cute pear-shaped safety pin.  I loved decorating the front with Stamp Simply's Coffee or Tea set.  It is one of my all-time favorites!  Inside, I plan to record various examples of God's goodness described in the book of Numbers which I am currently reading.

Stamp Simply is sponsoring the current Word Art Wednesday challenge.  You can play along for a chance to win  a wonderful prize!

Anchor for the Soul for Word Art Wednesday

 

This Memory Dex card began as a mixed media project with lots of water splashes.  I didn't like it and took another direction.  In the finished product is a smudge from a stray water droplet.  Decided to keep it as it fits the verse well:  we need an anchor when life is roough!

Taste and See that the Lord is Good

 God is ALWAYS good, and any time one wants to give Him a chance, He will show his goodness, mercy, and love!

My card proclaims that truth using the sweet "Coffee or Tea?" Bundle from Stamp Simply.  I love this set because of its attention to detail.  It's easy to make a lovely card just by die cutting beautiful paper with the delicate cup die.

 I purchased My Favorite Things Perfect Poppies Die-Namics around spring break and have had such fun making cards with them.

Showing the Praises of the Lord PS 78:4 for Word Art Wednesday

This card was created using some a scrap of pink and some extra die cuts lying on my desk......only after I loved the look and glued everything down did I realize that this scripture and the timing of the post coincides with Father's Day.  My apologies, dads, for the pink floral vibes.  So glad the scripture pertains to moms, too!

God's word is powerful and truly speaks to individual situations in amazing ways!  I hope you are blessed by this scripture and will stop by Word Art Wednesday to download a (free) copy for your own use.  There's always a prize to be earned and plenty of inspiration!

Blessings,

Christine
