The Magic Of Markers

Hello all of you wonderful paper enthusiasts!

Use Self-Control

For this very reason, make every efforts to add

to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;

and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control,

perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly

kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in

ineffective and unproductive in you knowledge

Thank You

Hello all of you wonderful paper enthusiasts!

Appreciate Correction

Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man

who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man

who gets understanding [drawing it forth from God's

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

is better than the gaining of silver, and the

profit of it better than fine gold.

PROVERBS 3:13-14

WOW! I didn't realize it until today it has been over two weeks since I last posted. Time flies by so quickly. What have I been doing since my last post you might ask? I went to the stamp convention in Cincinnati and yes I had a great time checking out all the new goodies and came home with few of them as well. The corner rose die on this card was one of my new finds.

Friendship Is the Wine Of Life

Hello all of you wonderful paper lovers!

Choose the Narrow Path

Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the

gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads

away to destruction, and many are those who are

entering through it. But the gate is narrow

(contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened

and compressed that leads away to life, and

few are those who find it.

MATTHEW 7:13-14

Tool Time

Hello all of you wonderful paper lovers!

Stay Stable

The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish

durable, and incorruptible].

PSALM 126:5

I hope you are all having a great weekend and have lots of nice things planned to do with family and friends. As for me I am going to inspire you with my latest creation.

It's called Change it Up or texturing with rags and can be found here: just4funcrafts.blogspot.com. I had a lot of fun with it, I hope you do too!
