Word Art Wednesday 260 & 261 ~ For God So Loved the World ~

Good morning and welcome to another fun challenge at Word Art Wednesday.  Today we have one of the most beloved passages in Scripture to share.  You will see this everywhere from professional athlete's shoes to signs at sporting events.  It is this particular passage that so succinctly describes God's unmerited mercy and grace.  The most precious gift ever given arrived in a lowly stable over 2000 years ago....

This gift arrived without wrapping paper or bows, but most certainly was the most beautiful gift ever given.  I am so thankful that He is mine...

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #236 and #237

Good morning and welcome to a new bi-weekly challenge at Word Art Wednesday! 

 Today we have a beautiful scripture from the New Testament, specifically 2 Corinthians.  And this one is perfect for your patriotic cards!  I love this time of year.  Memorial Day, Flag Day and the Fourth of July are some of my favorites.  I love seeing the red, white and blue bunting and Old Glory waving in the breeze.  This scripture is just perfect for those sentiments...  I chose some lovely patriotic paper and went to work...

I used a white card stock base (4.25 x 5.5) for my foundation, cutting a red layer of 4.25 and 5.5 inches, a slightly smaller white matting and finally a top layer of blue CS.  I chose a couple of coordinating designer papers from the Americana collection by Pebbles and cut out a center piece using Our Daily Bread Designs' Double Stitched Rectangles Die.  I cut two in two separate patterns and then split the difference.  I printed my scripture panel on white card stock and used another die from Our Daily Bread Designs, (Double Stitched Circles) to cut it out.  I added a flag DP strip before adding the sentiment panel with dimensional foam.  For my floral spray, I chose a white mulberry rose, 2 red roses and a couple of pale blue blossoms.  I used a couple of Martha Stewart punches from my stash to create two colors of green leaves and kraft twigs.  I placed them all together in the corner to mimic a spray...

So fun, don't  you think?  

Thanks as always for stopping by and don't forget to visit Word Art Wednesday for your own copy of the digital scripture and the link to play along!

Word Art Wednesday Challenge 234 & 235 ~ Proverbs 16:9 ~

Good morning and welcome to a new bi-weekly challenge at Word Art Wednesday! 

 Today we have a beautiful scripture from the book of Proverbs.  This one is perfect for that man in your life!  I lost my own father 20 years ago this May.  There isn't a day that goes by I don't think about him.  And what I wouldn't give to hear his voice one more time!  Give Dad a big kiss and hug!  Call him up or better yet, go VISIT!   With Father's Day just around the bend it is so important to show our earthly Fathers just how much of a blessing they are!
  

I decided to work with some different mediums and products today.  I printed this week's digital scripture on white card stock before using Our Daily Bread Designs' Pierced Rectangles Die to frame it.  I cut a slightly larger mat from Stampin' Up's Always Artichoke Card Stock before adding to the Georgia Pacific Black Card Stock base (4.25 x 5.5 inches).  I used a couple of traditional stamp sets to complement this scripture panel.  As I reflected upon the passage, I couldn't help thing of how man is always dreaming of big things (ex. the Wright Brothers and flight) but yet it is God who is in control.  It is always in His time.  

I stamped the trees (SU Always Artichoke ink) on the corner.  (The image is from SU's Wonderland Set.)  I added a lovely vintage plane stamp from SU's Sale-A-Bration set, Sky is the Limit (SU Basic Black ink).  I colored the plane lightly with Prismacolor pencils adding a blender for depth and added a bit of clear Wink of Stella glitter ink to the propeller.  I used a scallop punch and Memento's Summer Sky ink to create my puffy sky.  

Thanks as always for joining me and don't forget to go to the Word Art Wednesday blog to pick up this beautiful scripture (for FREE) and play along with our challenge!

Good morning and welcome to a new bi-weekly challenge at Word Art Wednesday! 
 We have more great prizes this week SO be sure to stop by and check this challenge out.  AND make sure to post your creation for an opportunity to win! 

This week we have a wonderful passage from the New Testament.  I chose to use a grunge stamp to add layers of pink, rose and red before adding a beautiful die cut heart.

 

 I started with a white card stock panel measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I used a piece of SU Blushing Bride Pink CS for a mat and printed my scripture panel on white card stock.  I positioned it to the right of my card stock panel and used a die to cut it out as pictured.  I then layered on stamped "ink blotches" for interest.  I chose a bit of Stampin' Up Real Red card stock and this fun die from Simon Says Stamp for the corner.  #SimonSaysStamp

  

It is amazing how God works.  After I had put this card together and photographed it...  I realized some of the "spots" resembled blood...  There is not greater love than that my friends...

Blessings...

A very special thank you to Simon Says Stamp who graciously provided me some goodies to play with this month!  They are having a huge celebration this month.  Be sure to check out their BLOG to check it out!  As part of this great event, I have been given a few products to share with you and I was more than happy to use them on today's card...  

So I printed today's scripture on white card stock and die cut it along with the rich pumpkin layer.  The card base (A2 Side Folding Card) was provided by Simon Says Stamp along with this beautiful background stamp.  The stamp is Leaves Background #SSS101529.  For this project, I inked the leaves with several shades of Memento ink including Cantaloupe, Tangelo, Potter's Clay and Rhubarb Stalk.  I then used a bit of the Rhubarb Stalk and Potter's Clay to ink the edges.  I layered the stamped image on pumpkin card stock cut slightly smaller than the card base (Item #A2SIDE10).

I started with a white card stock base measuring 5.5 x 3.5 inches and added a black mat.  I used fun bee themed papers for the base and center panel and printed my scripture panel on white CS.  I stamped the bee image, coloring and die cutting before adding glitter glue to his wings.

WAW181 ~ Rejoice ~

Good morning and welcome back to another fun challenge at
Word Art Wednesday.

Things have been a bit crazy for me as of late and Karen at Word Art Wednesday has been gracious enough to let me remain with WAW on a bi-weekly basis.  I am working through some medical challenges at the moment and would appreciate any prayers you could send up for me.  I firmly believe that every challenge in life is an opportunity for spiritual growth and learning.  I know God has some big plans in this process for me! 

Now on to the fun stuff!  ;-)

Be sure to check out the Word Art Wednesday site for all of this week's challenge details including WAW's digital scripture, how to link your creation AND info on some fabulous prizes! 

Thank you, thank you and thank you to this week's sponsors so very much!  Please take a few moments to thank those who provided prizes this week!  

I have been spending way too much time on Pinterest lately!  (Does anyone else feel my pain???)  And I have become quite enamored of cards resembling quilts and/or quilt blocks.  So here is my attempt at a fun pinwheel using papers from Hobby Lobby (The Paper Studio.)

I started out with an ecru card stock base (5.5 x 4.25 inches).  I added a deep teal mat and printed today's sentiment on another ecru CS scrap and cut it slightly smaller.  After adding it, I paper punched 6 pieces of coordinating DP (4 of each design) and added then carefully overlapping each one.  I found it was easier to start with my floral pattern and lay down all in a square on the ecru base before adding the other alternate design.  I placed each with dimensional foam that could be repositioned just in case a block needed to be "moved."  And for the final touch?  I added a button with a bit of baker's twine looped through the middle?  So easy and I LOVE how it turned out.  

Back to Pinterest to see what other quilt designs I can copy!  lol...  So don't forget to stop back at WAW each week to see what the challenge will be.  I will be back in two weeks, May 20th to share my latest WAW creation...  Quilt like maybe...  hmmmm?????

This week we are getting our thoughts and minds prepared for the Easter season.  So this time we are visiting the book of Psalms and celebrating the most awesome gift our Savior gave...

So this week, I printed our digi scripture on Kraft paper and decided to tear the paper to resemble my own paper rock!  I started with a black card stock base (measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches) and added a mat white CS layer.  I wanted a DP pattern to mimic a garden (picture Gethsemane) and cut it slightly smaller than the white matting.  I added my faux rock with dimensional foam and added one tiny yellow mulberry rose with paper punched twigs and leaves!  Super simple!  This one may be mass produced for people at my church!

Since our digital scripture, I opted to pull out a horse image I have in my stash...

I started with an ecru card stock base and black CS matting.  I thought the chicken wire DP fit the image nicely.  I stamped the image on Neenah Solar Crest using a Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored it with Copics.  I sponged in a bit of Memento Summer Sky before using a Spellbinder die to cut it out and creating a scalloped background.  I printed our digi scripture on white card stock and cut it down to create a simple banner.
