Tuesday Throwndown Twists

Hi there!
Our challenge this week at Tuesday Throwdown is Ribbon, but not just plain ribbon it must be used in a different way or with a twist! I used my ribbon to make the centers in my flowers. Stop by our blog and see what the rest of the DT has came up with, creative minds want to know. To play along  link your creation to the Tuesday Throwdown  blog. I can't wait to see how you "twist" your ribbon.
to create my card I used a new release from Verve "Dream Big" , stitched ribbon and buttons.

Masculine Squigglefly

Our challenge this week at Squigglefly is to make a masculine birthday card. Masculine cards are a challenge for me but I found this image Tied Up In Knots at Squigglefly.com and it was perfect for the card I had in mind.

Sentimental Clean And Simple

This weeks challenge at Sentimental Sundays is Clean & Simple. I love CAS cards so this fell right in line for  me. I love using Kraft cardstock when I make a CAS card. The apples are from Unity Stamp Co. I cut them out and paper pieced them. The sentiment is from a retired Sweet 'n Sassy set.

OSAAT Challenge 28

Good Sunday morning,
My first card share is for our challenge at One Stitch At A Time, which is to make a girly card. The image I used is an Eiglas image Britney Fairy. You can find her in the Stitchy Bear and I Did It creations Crafting Boutique along with tons of other digital stamps and papers. All the creators there are having a sale on their digis as well.

Fashion Statement

Hi there!
My card I am sharing with you today is one I made for round 2 of the CAS fall DT search on SplitCoast Stampers. I am humbled I was chosen for round 2.
The challenge is Fashion Statement, to make a CAS card using design paper. Using design paper can be tough sometimes for a CAS challenge because you tend to go overboard and its not a CAS card anymore. I used a couple Unity stamps for my card. The paper doll dresses are from the Material Girl set and I used October Afternoon dp. The sentiment is from the Garden Variety set. you can find both these sets and lots more at Paper Maniac.

Dieting Saved My Life

I don't know about you but this girl is ready for fall. The last couple days we have had nice weather and because we have had no rain our leaves are also starting to turn. Fall is one of my favorite times of year to decorate my home.
This little guy is from QKR Stampede and the name fits this stamp perfectly "Skinny Turkey". I added the sentiment printed from my computer.

The Greatest Gift

Another sneak peek from the upcoming Sweet 'n Sassy September  release. this set is "The Greatest Gift". Truly Jesus is the greatest gift you could ever receive at Christmas or any other time of year.  I found this design paper in my stash not sure what company it is but I love the rich colors in it.

Ready For Some Sneak Peeks?

Sweet 'n Sassy is getting ready for another release and all this week the DT will be showing you some Sneak Peeks of what's in store.  The set I used is called Bread Of Life. It is a beautiful set you will want to add to your collection. Make sure to stop back by tomorrow to see another sneak peek.
We will be holding a blog hop on September 1st to show all the new release so you will not want to miss it.

I made this one for a friend whose husband has been deployed and she is missing him.

I have enjoyed playing with these sketches though, hopefully i will win something while I am away
For my Christmas card I used the set O Christmas Tree and papers from PTI

The Perfect Christmas Tree

When I seen this stamp I just had to get it. Doesn't it remind you of Charley Brown's tree? It's The Perfect Christmas Tree from QKR Stampede,  I thought since it was such a plain tree that I would use it on a clean and simple card. Hope you like

Joy Of The Lord

Here is another card for the Anni-VERVE-sary sketches contest. It uses the Plain Jane stamp Nehemiah 8:10. Once again I used that Kaisercraft paperpack. I love it can you tell?

Couple More Anni-VERVE-sary cards

Couple more Anni-VERVE-sary cards. The first one uses a stamp from the set Love's Flower and paper from Echo park, "Life Is Good" Echo Park has been added to my favorites list in the paper line. 
My second card uses stamps from the set Let It Shine and the paper is from October Afternoon another favorite of mine.

Delight In The Lord

Verve is going to be Three years old and they are having a contest using their Anni-VERVE-sary Sketches. There are 5 sketches and you have until 5pm Eastern tomorrow to finish them.
For my card I used one of their Plain Jane scripture stamps  Psalm 37:4. I love these stamps as they are simple, affordable  and add such meaning to the card. They are wonderful to use in our card ministry at Church.
The paper I used is Echo Park "A Walk In The Park" Have more cards to make see ya soon

Happy Birthday Stampin Sisters In Christ!

This post will stay on top during the hop. Please scroll down to see recent posts

Hi there and thanks for stopping by!
I hope you have been enjoying our birthday celebration hop. If you arrived here from Grace's blog then you are right on track if not you will want to start from the beginning at Stampin Sisters In Christ. because there are many blessings along the way and chances to win prizes like a $50.00 certificate to one of their sponsor stores how cool is hat!?!, so we hope you'll join us! All of the blog links will also be there in case there's a break along the way.

When I was asked to join this blog hop and told I was to use my favorite scripture I thought okay that's easy because I can truly claim Philippians 4:19 because God has supplied for my needs so many times, but God said no I don't want you to use that scripture and directed me to the scripture he directed me to when I found out I had cancer, so here are my verses of scripture

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.

When you go through rivers of difficulty , you will not drown.

When you walk through the fire of oppression,

you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. 

For I am the Lord , your Go., the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. 

Isaiah 43:2-3a 

God totally reminded me of how he is with me through All that I go through, you notice God said When not if you go through,. We all face difficulties in our lives and God is right there with us. I said that Philippians 4:19 was my verse, well this verse carries that verse so much farther. God does meet our needs but He cares for us and is always with us when we face the difficulties of this life. If you go down to the end of verse four God says this "because you are precious to me. You are honored and I love you." (Isaiah 46:4b)

God loves us no matter what we do, no matter who we are. God loves us and wants to have a love relationship with each of us. Have you given your heart to Christ? Do you have a love relationship with him? If not He is waiting. Thank you for allowing me to share with you and if you are not sure about your eternity please feel free to contact me.
For my card I used  PTI cardstock and kaisercraft design papers, and simply printed the verses off my computer.

Now on with the hop your next stop will be Cindy and she has some wonderful scripture as well as her project to share with you.

God Bless!
