Hello there! It is a Public Holiday here in Australia - Boxing Day and I have managed to finish off a few projects that I have had on the go for a while and this is the second of two cards to show you.
This next card is for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge: http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/
you know by now that I LOVE the Faith Based Challenges - this week is based on the scripture:
Psalm 25:4-5 "Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior and my hope is in you all day long."
Our challenge is to make a New Years Card or project, mindful of asking God to teach us and lead us on the path He has laid for us.
Unconditional Love is something I am wanting to work on this coming year (wellI should be everyday!!) It is easy to love those who love us, or show us kindness, those who are 'lovely' in our sight....so often we put conditions on our love, not always consciously. I am only too aware there is many a time I have been 'unlovely' in His sight!! So I am endeavouring to love regardless.....
This card is also for the ABC Challenge: http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com/
this week is 'K is for Kissing' and how cute are these 'House Mouse' I used two images I had previously coloured for this card and used the embossing border that my lovely Twisted Sister Lesley (aka Marleygo) sent me as part of a CRAK I love this border and punched it out with the SU Windows Slot Punch, inked the edges and secured it to the card with these cute little button brads.
