Sweet Summer Time

Hello all of you wonderful paper artists!

Father, remind us often that all good comes from You.

Amen

Finding Easter Goodies

Hello all of you wonderful paper artists!

I resonantly bought a book and the title is PRAYERS For Families. Thought I would post a prayer onto my blog every now and then.

Lord, our talents are not for our benefit alone.

Help us to consider our abilities as gifts we can give to You.

Thank You for providing us with the perfect way to honor

You-by giving back to You what You provide.

Amen

Hope everyone enjoyed this beautiful Sunday with plenty of sunshine! Sat outside with my little dogs for a while this afternoon. My littlest one is always in play mode, she doesn't know when to shut it down. I swear she would play twenty four seven if it was up to her. She wears me out sometimes. LOL

Good evening everyone! Hope everyone is staying warm and cozy on these chilling nights! Wish we could turn up the ole thermometer a few degrees enough to melt the snow.

Little Indian Beauty

Hello all of you fabulous paper artists!

Start Out Joyfully

You try the heart and delight in uprightness. In

the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all

these things. And now I have seen with joy Your

people who are present here offer voluntarily and

freely to You. O Lord... keep forever such purposes

and thoughts in the minds of Your people, and

direct and establish their hearts towards You.

                                                         1 Chronicles 29:17-18

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Next weekend we will be buying chocolates and other goodies for our sweet hearts. My husband and I bought a recliner and called that our Valentines gift to one anther, is that showing our age or what? LOL 

 I did not create a card for Valentines day. To tell you the truth I had kind of forgot about it. I had this stamp for some time now and wanted so bad to create a card using it. This cute Whimsy stamp called Lomasi (Pretty Flower), isn’t she just adorable and the green crepe paper behind her worked out great for the ground cover, it actually looks like grass. Colored her with copics, then used the silhouette to cut the tent, campfire and the moon.

Created this card for Papertremptress.
