Good morning!
This will be a short post, as we are grand-daughter-dog sitting! Our Rosie is a sweetie, but she's still all pup, and needs our attention! I wish you could see her walking on this computer...lol!!!
It is Sunday morning, and you know what that means - a new challenge at Stampin Sisters in Christ!
Lisa, our amazing leader, is our hostess this week.
The scripture that Lisa has chosen for this challenge is one of my favorites.
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of riteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presense of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
~Psalm 23
We had fun with this week's challenge, and I think that you will all have fun with it, as well!
Lisa asks that we use blue (still waters) and green (green pastures) in your cards/projects.
Our sponsor this week is Taylored Expressions.
One lucky winner will receive the Rest and Renewal set from Taylored Expressions!
For my card, I used a piece of the CS that comes free in the Take Ten magazines for my background. It was perfect, in that it was already blue and green.
I stamped the butterfly from The Angel Company's "Happily Grateful" set, and the sentiment from the Our Daily Bread "Still Waters" set with Palette Noir Ink, covered them with Transdescent Embossing Powder, and Heat Embossed. The border is done with an E.K. Success border punch.
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs and blessings,
Patti J.
