Our hostess for this week's challenge at Stampin' Sisters In Christ is Grace Nywening. She is as gracious and godly as her name implies. When Grace speaks, I listen! She has written a beautiful devotional on the Stampin' Sisters in Christ blog for today's inspiration scripture. I urge you to read it. I know you will be blessed!
Grace chose as the inspiration scripture Psalm 127:1a "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it." The challenge is to use an image in your card/project of something that is "built" using a set of plans ... a house, church, school, automobiles, even a bird house...anything that would be built according to a set of plans."
I struggle to stick with God's plans for me rather than my own plans for myself. But the struggle is really what happens when I don't.
Our sponsor this week is Wink Wink Ink!
The little pup looks a lot like our Sadie. She LOVES my husband. When he leaves, she lays up by the front door with her nose near the bottom, waiting for him to come back. That's why I chose the greeting "I miss you so much" from Gina K Designs to finish my card.
There are many people to whom I could send this card. I find myself missing a lot of people lately. I've got to do something about that!
The background DP is by Echo Park. The frame is by K&Company... something I found in my stash. That gorgeous crocheted flower was made for me by my dear friend Kim Yu. Kim is not only the sweetest person, but oh so talented! Lucky me has several more of these beauties to play with. Thank you Kim!!!
I hope you'll come play with us this week at Stampin' Sisters in Christ! Just think of all the things that are built using plans! And you'll have a chance at winning a fabulous prize, too... and perhaps a Shining Star! It's all good!
Have a blessed day my friends!
What a lovely card.... really reflects that Sunday is the day of resting.
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Lisa! I love the vibrant colors!
ReplyDeleteThese images remind me of my "Aunt LaVera" (actually a 2nd cousin) who had a beautiful Victorian sofa I was almost afraid to sit on! And she always had pillow mints in a crystal bowl! What smiles and fond memories this card inspired!
What a sweet image Lisa!! I love your coloring and design!! Love the dp and your crocheted flower!
