STAMPlorations: Sketch Inspiration

Sister Act Card Challenge: Anything Goes/MUST be a card

Stampin' For the Weekend: Anything Goes

Aud Sentiments: Anything Goes (With a sentiment...)

Word Art Wednesday: Anything Inspirational Goes

I've used stamps from STAMPlorations, patterned paper by Basic Grey, a purple glitter gel pen by Sakura (faux stitching), kraft paper by Paper Studio, enamel dots by My Mind's Eye, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored inks from Stampin' Up!.

I LOVE this sentiment--it reminds me that we do not always see the big and final picture.  There will be ups and downs, light pieces and dark pieces, but we will not see the final picture of our life until after we leave this life.  Only God knows what He is creating in us.  All we can do is obediently follow the path He sets forth for us! :)

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my card today!  I hope it inspires you to create something today and that you join in the fun of these fabulous challenges!  DON'T FORGET--I HAVE BLOG CANDY!!!  HUGS and happy stamping, friends!

DDD: Christmas Wreath + Wednesday Wisdom

Hello again, dear friends!  Welcome to another weekly post for me for Diane's Daydream Designs!  This week, I've got a CAS Christmas card to share with you using a GORGEOUS wreath from the Deck the Halls Color Set.  There are a ton of amazing images in this set, I just know that those of you who make holiday cards year round will NEED this one!

Here's my card~

This card makes me reflect on all the wonderful verses in Isaiah about the Savior.  I'm sure you'll all join me in singing as you read Isaiah 9:6, 

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

I love thinking of all the names given to Christ throughout His time here on the earth and even before and after.  His gift is Wonderful.  He can be our Counsellor at times when we need guidance or solace or healing.  He is mighty, everlasting, and eternally The Prince of Peace.  It is Him that I strive to emanate as I go about my daily life and His example that I try to follow in every situation.  I am so grateful for my Savior and His Atonement that makes it possible for me to repent and return to live with God.

Thanks for stopping by to look at my creation today!  I hope you take some time today to think on the names of our Savior and to utilize the gifts He gives us to better your life.  I also hope that you are able to feel God's love for you today and always--it never changes.  HUGS and happy stamping, friends!
