Let God Set Your Agenda

But this thing I did command them: Listen to and 

obey My voice, and I will be your God and you will

be my people; and walk in the whole way that I 

command you, that it may be well with you.

Jeremiah 7:23

Don't know if all of you know this or not but I am no longer on the design team for Heartfelt Creations. Although the card I am posting today was a created for H.C..

It was time for me to move on for I have so many new things I want to try and things that need to be finished.

the He Who began a good work in you will continue

and bringing it to full completion in you.

Hello friends! I have always wanted to give stamping on a candle a try. The thought of it intimated me to pieces. Well, as you can see I DID it! And it was much easier than I had imagined. I created this lovely candle using the beautiful Classic Sunflower Collection.

Ink: Copics - G12, 14, 19, Y00,11,17,YR27

Add a ribbon or two as I did and create a bow and place it under stamped image. They make great center pieces.
