I am certain that you all have your cleaning, baking, shopping, and gift wrapping finished, and are only waiting now for the arrival of, or to the homes of, your loved ones! Good for you - great job!
Peggysue is our wonderful hostess for today's challenge!
She brings us a scripture from Micah to carry with us and think about this week:
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel,
whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting." ~Micah 5:2 NKJV
Peggysue's challenge for us this week is to create a card using inchies.
What a perfect and fitting challenge for this scripture!
Our sponsor this week is Our Daily Bread Designs. Some lucky participant will win a $15.00 gift card to shop at Our Daily Bread Designs. We appreciate their continued support, and can't wait to see your beautiful creations!
Here is my card:
This stamp set is called Snowman Nativity, and is a set that is carried by The Angel Company. I took the liberty of making a slightly larger card, with 1.5 size squares so that I could work with the sentiments in this set. The three sentiment pieces, and the main image are all popped up with dimensional dots, while the other squares are adhered directly to the card.
I am going to enter this card here:
