This is my first week as a design team member with Stampin' Sisters in Christ. I'm very happy to be a part of this wonderful group of ladies. Each of them brings her own special talents, personality, and steadfast faith. I'm very much looking forward to spending some time with them!
The stamp set I chose, was chosen because of the rippling of the water under the boat... I once read a devotional about how we are like drops of water, and how one drop of water by itself is insignificant. It doesn't last long, it evaporates quickly in the sun or wind. By ourselves, we won't last long either - we're made for fellowship with other believers. A drop of water that's put into a larger body of water will cause ripples, and become more significant. As more drops are put into the body of water, the ripples begin to overlap each other. The way that we influence others along life's journey, can have that rippling, overlapping effect as well, by our words and actions.
Have a great week, dear friend, and don't forget to ripple!
Can't wait to see your creations!
I am also entering this at: Alphabet Challenge Blog (S is for scallops).
Hugs and Blessings,
Patti J.
Supplies:

Amazing card Patti, have a great Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card! Wait, it's a work of art! Love the delicate (and perfection) matting. The scallop/lace punching is beautiful. The coloring and 'out of the box' punching really sets off your image. And of course the color combo is perfect, especially for a gal like me that loves blue!'
ReplyDeleteGreat work and a great way to start a Sunday. Awesome for your first DT card at Stampin' Sisters in Christ - Congrats my friend!
ps, got the embossing folder, thanks!
