Sending a smile across the miles...

A blessed Fifth Sunday in Lent to you!

This week's challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ is from our dear Ceal Pritchett. Ceal chose as the inspiration scripture Psalm 51:7-10 "Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness, let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." The challenge is to make a Clean and Simple card/project.

I think we all need to ask God to create is us a pure heart and steadfast spirit probably every day. We are sinners by nature, and it's hard to do the "right thing" all the time, especially when we're under stress or feel we've been wronged. The good news is that because of the great sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! "Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow." Yes, my friends, Jesus Paid It All. For that, I am eternally grateful.

My card follows Sketchtastically 83 at Clean & Simple Stamping. I'm thinking maybe it's not all that clean and simple after all, but I sure like how it turned out. (*grin*)

The cardstock is Kraft, Hibiscus Burst and Raspberry Fizz from Papertrey Ink. The stamp is from Everyday Button Bits by Papertrey Ink, stamped with New Leaf ink, and decorated with Hibiscus Burst and Raspberry Fizz buttons. The felt butterflies are by Heidi Grace.

Please come play with us this week at Stampin' Sisters in Christ. You'll surely be inspired when you see the CAS cards made by our awesome design team.

Before you go, here's a little something I felt compelled to share with you today. Blessings to you, my friends!
