A Blessed Christmas

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Admirable Virtues

But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the

[Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and 

guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not

gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh

(of human nature without God).

                                   GALATIANS 5:16

Hello friends, Have another card I would like to share with you using the Festive Christmas Collection. I really like how the poinsettias turned out for this card. They almost look as if they were made of velvet.

Pink And Teal Candlelight

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Desire God's Heart

Arm yourselves with the same thought and purpose

[patiently to suffer rather than fail to please

 God]. For whoever has suffered in the flesh [having

the mind of Christ] is done with [intentional] sin

[has stopped pleasing himself and the world, and

pleases God], so that he can no longer spend the rest

of his natural life living by [his] human appetites

and desires, but [he lives] for what God wills. 

                                                                        1 PETER 4:1-2

Happy Saturday friends! Have a card I created for Heartfelt Creations. Wanted to use some colors on this card other than your transitional Christmas colors.Thought the teals and pinks came together very well.

Festive Notes

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Choose Excellence

I am Your servant; give me understanding

(discernment and comprehension), that I may know

(discern and be familiar with the character of)

Your testimonies.

           PSALM 119:125

I was on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago and found a gentleman by the name of John (bet you all know who I'm talking about), he designs some fabulous cards. This card is similar to one he created. I fell in love with it when I saw it because it makes me think of chocolate and I love chocolate. How silly is that! Any who, yes I had to case it! Think I might make a few more for Christmas.

Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man

Word and life's experiences], for the gaining of it

is better than the gaining of silver, and the

profit if it better than fine gold.
