Sow Generously

[Remember] this; he who sows sparingly and

grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly,

and he who sows generously [that blessings may

come to someone] will also reap generously

and with blessings.

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Sew What You Want to Reap

Sow for yourselves according to righteousness

(uprightness and right standing with God); reap

according to mercy and loving-kindness. Break up

Lord, to inquire for and of Him, and to require His

favor, till He comes and teaches you righteousness

and rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you.

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Be Responsible

But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are

living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirist of

God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls

you]. But if anyone does not posses the [Holy] spirit

of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to

Christ, is not truly a child of God].

                                                      ROMANS 8:9

Lots of good memories of my grandparents!

Hello blog friends! I would like to share with you today a card I created for PaperTemptress. I ordered these little Bluebell stamps a couple of weeks ago and couldn't wait for the mailman to leave them at my front door.

Always puts a big smile on my face when I get stamps, dies or papers in the mail. What joy it brings me when I get something new to create a card or a new project.

Instructions:12" x 10" picture frame. First I started with an 8 1/2" x 11" white piece of cardstock and cut an opening out of the center to create a framed mat. Stamped poinsettia images on all four sides, colored and placed over existing mat. I did not want to stamp on the existing mat in case of an error. For the image in center frame, I cut a sheet of pattern paper a little larger and the opening and glued onto an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of white cardstock. Cut largest ornament from glitter paper. Next die cut the next size ornament from red holographic paper and adhere together. Die cut oval (#1 small) from red glitter paper, die cut another oval (#2 large) from a card panel and die cut the center out of the card panel using the #4 labels 20 mega die and set the center piece aside. Adhere the outer oval panel to the large oval, apply pop dots and adhere to ornament. With the #4 mega die, trace around the outer edge and fussy cut and adhere the two mega labels together. Apply pop dots and center on ornament. Die cut holly and place as shown. On the corners I placed scraps of gold glitter paper in the corners of the Resplendent rectangles die, die cut them, trimmed for a nice clean look and placed one in each corner. I added some glitter paper around the frame for a little more glitz.
