Rejoice and Be Glad for Sweet n Sassy Stamps

 What a blessing to be sharing cards this month as a guest designer for Sweet n Sassy Stamps!  I love the sweet new set called "In the Psalms" which includes some dear praises and statements of hope!  "My Savior's Love" is such a joy to work with. The blooms are gorgeous, and the sentiments offer the opportunity for many combinations to express and celebrate the love of Jesus.

Blessings,

Christine

John 13:34 for Word Art Wednesday

 It is wonderful and humbling to think of how Jesus loves us.  Romans 5:8 explains that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.   That brings into focus the way we should love others, too.

This beautifully lettered scripture is available for download and use at Word Art Wednesday, and Karen always shares a devotion to focus our hearts on God's Word.  Please stop by and share your art.

My card includes:  Large scallop stacker die from Papertrey Ink; pink DP from my stash, and an Altenew image, Whimsical Flower Arrangement, watercolored with Tombow dual brush pens.

Thanks for visiting,

Christine

Avery Elle Sponsors WAW

Avery Elle is so kindly sponsoring the current Word Art Wednesday Challenge.  Avery Elle's Holiday Skates set is wonderful for card fronts and makes the cutest little shaped tags. It comes with tiny snowflakes, evergreen branches, holly sprigs, a candy cane to embellish the skate and make it uniquely your own.  I cut lots of tag elements before putting my Christmas themed papers, stamps, and dies away and look forward to assembling a few tags at a time to build a stash for next year.

You are welcome to enter any project in the current WAW challenge, and there is a great word art file available to download.  One participant will receive Avery Elle's prize.

Hope you can join the fun, 

Christine

 

Titus 3:5 for Word Art Wednesday

 Welcome to a new challenge at Word Art Wednesday!  My card features Be Bold Blooms by Spellbinders. All the pieces were cut from white card stock and were inked with Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist by Papertrey Ink.  The card base and frame were cut using PTI dies, and the Bitty Big print in Aqua Mist is also from Papertrey Ink.

Seth Apter Designs is offering a $25 gift code to a winner chosen by random draw, and this wonderful scripture is available for download.  Hope you will have time to share your art and to take in the devotional that Karen so faithfully shared.  Praying your visit will bring multiple blessings.

Happy Birthday to You

I must be diligent about replenishing my stash of birthday and thank-you cards!  It's not good to be out of them, but it's not a burden to "need" to craft either. :)

The floral wreath is from a lovely product suite by Pink Fresh Studio called Rainbow Flowers and includes the outline stamps, coordinating stencils, and matching dies.  It is so satisfying to create lots of pretty florals using these products.  The papers, inks, and oval die  are from Papertrey Ink, and the sentiment is from my beloved Verve collection....still in use in this new year!

One Cup at a Time for WAW

The Christmas season brings many special things.  First, and foremost, God showed His love as He sent His only Son Jesus  who would one day die a sacrificial death for the sins of the entire world.  Jesus is the only way to have peace and reconciliation with God.  I pray that you have a saving relationship with Jesus and that you are resting in the peace He came to bring.

Christmas also brings the Word Art Wednesday blog hop that includes not only our regular prize but lots more.   To be eligible to win the Stamp Simply prize, just enter your art in our gallery as usual.  The winner of this prize will be selected  by random draw from our entries.  To be eligible to win the prizes from Tonic Studios and other goodies, simply leave a comment on each blog to be eligible for that prize.  When you've completed the blog hop, leave a comment at Word Art Wednesday saying that you've completed the hop.

My card was created using a set from our sponsor, Stamp Simply.  I actually won this set as a prize when playing along at WAW in the days before joining the DT.  I love paper piecing and embellishing the pretty cups with sentiments and other images.  I recently broke into a new Echo Park paper pad and had lots of fun choosing prints and solids for the design.  

Below you will see the prize available from my blog and the links for the hop.  Have fun and remember to "take life one cup at a time" during the holiday season so you can experience all God's best for you.

Blessings,

Christine

God Sent His Son for Word Art Wednesday

Rabbit Hole Designs  is sponsoring the current Word Art Wednesday Challenge, and the blog features this beautifully prepared scripture that reminds exactly why we celebrate Christmas.  In His great mercy and love, God sent His dear, holy Son Jesus to die a sacrificial death that we might find peace with God.

Please stop by Word Art Wednesday to obtain a copy of this sweet verse, to read the associated devotion, and to find a little inspiration.  There's a wonderful prize for one of our participants.

Blessings,

Christine
