Divine Design BVC 4

It's the 8th...you know what that means :) ... time to post our monthly projects for the the Divine Design Bible Verse Challenge!! Not familiar with our challenge? Click HERE for all the details, so you can play along :) !!! My scripture this month is from Colossians ~ Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men (3:23). I think our hearts and our motives sometimes get so fragmented with the demands of this world...good to remember that out ultimate goal should always be to serve the Lord in whatever we do, and to do that for His glory and for His recognition! Good reminder for me anyway :) !

My second project each month is a bookmark that I make for my daughter, Megan. She chooses the scripture and I mail her a bookmark (she's at college). It always blesses me to see which scripture she's selected. This month she chose ~ I find rest in God; only he gives me hope. He is my rock and my salvataion. He is my defender, I will not be defeated. My honor and salvation come from God. He is my mighty rock and my protection. Psalms 62:5-7 (new century version). I printed the scriptures for both projects on the computer and for Meg's bookmark I stamped some polka dots on the sentiment pieces, to coorinate with the celery and bashful polkadots on the designer paper...I was pretty tickled to see how well it blended with the DP! There's also a LOT of shimmer and sparkle on her bookmark, but the photo just doesn't show it...I've had some trouble getting fine detail with my camera. I think it has a lot to do with the dark, overcast days we've had.

There is a HUGE and growing gallery over at SCS, using the keywords BVC08...your can check out that awesome gallery HERE! This is a great way to combine your love of stamping with scripture and memorization. I'm just making a card each month that I display, some girls are making journals, memory cards etc. Whatever works for you. I really do hope you'll play along. I have a few great scripture stamps, but if I don't have a stamp for the scripture I select, I just print it on my computer...how easy is that? If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me: youcanstamp@hotmail.com.

Supplies for my card~ Stamps: Think Happy Thoughts, Computer generated scripture Paper: Celery, Lavender Lace, Whisper White Ink: Lavender Lace, Certainly Celery Accessories: Self adhesive rhinestones, 1/4" celery gg ribbon, Photo corner punch

Have a GREAT Day :) !!!

p.s. I just made some slight alterations to my card, got a better photo and uploaded it...so if you checked in earlier and saw a slightly different card...you're right! It's still not my most favorite card, but I do love that scipture, so I'm going to concentrate on that part and accept the fact that sometimes we all make cards that we're just not crazy about!

hugs & blessings, nancy
