Divine Design September

It's September 9th ... time to post our Divine Design projects for this month. I've been making bookmarks but this month decided to make a card instead.

I chose the verse from Romans 12:12 - "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction , faithful in prayer." This little verse is important to me because it focuses on three areas I want to grown in. Having this card out on my desk will give me the opportunity to see this scripture several times each day.

Be sure to check out Lori, Angel, Taylor & Jami's projects too! And when you upload to SCS, use the words BVC09

I have to apologize for not posting a Divine Design project for August. This challege came during finals week and I was just too buried in school work to even think about stamping. I really enjoyed making today's project. Stamping with scriptures is always extra fun :) !

For today's card I used a retired SU set called Elegant Expressions for the verse and a newer SU set called Thoughts and Prayers for the flowers. I colored the stamp with SU markers (Old Olive, Pumpkin and Ruby Red) then shimmered 'em with Spica glitter pens. The shiny finishng touch was Crystal Effects in the centers of the flowers. The cardstock is PT white, Old Olive & Ruby Red and that beautiful Olive ribbon is from the new Holiday Mini Catalog. I ran some Olive cardstock through an embossing folder then punched out the Photo Corners.

Thanks for stopping by :) .... I hope you're playing along with Divine Design. Remember, you can start anytime, the rules are simple and you can find all the details right HERE.

Divine Design April 09

I apologize for needing to post my April Divine Design project a little late! It's been a very busy week...I'm sure you understand :) ! The scripture on my bookmark was especially meaningful for me during this busy week as God faithfully answered my prayers, encouraged me and gave me strength for each day and each task! What an amazing verse. I have to thank my friend, Angel Wilde,for selecting this wonderful scripture to be part of ODBD's DT Scripture Collection 2. Speaking of Angel, here are the links to the scripture chicks so you can check out their projects this month~

Lori Craig: Make a Difference

I hope you're playing along with the Divine Design Bible Verse Challenge. The rules are simple and you can find them right HERE. You can join anytime. And don't forget to use the keyword BVC09 when you upload to the SCS gallery!

I only had an hour to complete my project this morning, so I kept my bookmark simple and used some of my fun new SU hardware to dress it up. Those white brads 5/16" (from the big catalog) and the Jumbo Grommet is from the new Occasions Mini Catalog. The ink is Chocolate Chip, and the cardstock is Chocolate Chip, Summer Sun, & Whisper White. The DP is SU's Good Morning Sunshine. Stampin' Up did all the color coordination for me which saved a ton of time :) !

Muffin celebrated her 1st birthday earlier this week. She wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Easter. She knows the real reason for Easter is to celebrate our risen Savior, Jesus Christ... but she can't pass up a chance to dress up, so .....

What do you think? I think she makes a pretty cute little Easter Bulldog, LOL!!

Thanks for stopping by. Easter Hugs & Blessings to all :) !! My classes have kept me busy, but I'm really enjoying them. I'm still hoping to post about once a week whenever possible. Now that the first 2 weeks of classes are past, I think I've figured out some strategies for time management and effective studying, and should be finding some stamping time each week !!
