Scripture Printables

I don’t have new WORDart for you this week, but I do have some printables for you made from some of my older WORDart.  You can find the original WORDart here.  I made these for our church ladies group and thought I would share them with you as well.  These are for personal use only—no commercial use.  They are all 4 x 6.

A pink version, of course.  You know how I love pink.

A spring version, for my spring décor.

And…a more neutral version.

Thanks for stopping by my little old blog today.

Psalm 5:11 WORDart

 

Happy Thursday!

This week I just can’t seem to shake the overwhelming feeling of thankfulness for a personal relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  I am so grateful that I don’t need to make an appointment with His secretary to speak with Him, or wait my turn in a long line to see Him.  I can speak to Him whenever I desire, I can cry out to Him when I am feeling pain or despair.  He is always there, waiting on me to come to Him.  I know I can safely put my trust in Him and that He will defend me.  I can rejoice in Him because I know and love His name….JESUS.  He is the one who makes all things possible.  He is the one who gives joy and peace.  He is the one who orders my steps and guides my way.  I need Him every minute of every day.

I made a quick card. I just changed the color of the WORDart and printed it onto Soft Stone cardstock.  I haven’t used patterned paper in so long.  I have an overwhelming amount of it and still fall for beautiful paper every time.  I really should use it more, it makes card making so easy!  This paper is from the Argyle Socks paper pack by Papertrey. 

I am loving the weather we have been having lately.  I am so ready for spring.  I can’t wait to get a paintbrush in my hand and start painting some signs I have been wanting to make…and my daughter’s desk. 

I pray your week is happy and blessed.

March

Just thought I would share a little of what I have been up to.  I just finished making my March wallpapers for my desktop and iphone/ipad.  I love the way they came out.  I always try to feature the person(s) that have a birthday or important event that month.  In our family there is always someone or something to celebrate.  This month it is our son, Matthew, and our little Pomeranian, Peanut.

I used the March Scrap Kit of the Month by Scrapgirls.com.  It is called Sweet Street Grunge and I absolutely fell in love with it the minute I saw it.  It’s gorgeous!

I am also taking a poster design class by Jessica Sprague.  I am so, so, so far behind, but have already learned so much.  I am really enjoying it, just struggling to fit it in. 

I hope your week is off to a great start!

Habakkuk 3:18 WORDart

Happy Thursday!  I can’t believe it is March 1st already!

Our family has been faced with some rather stressful situations in the past couple of weeks.  We are still dealing with them, but I know that God is in control and He will take care of it if we leave it in his very capable hands.  I like how this scripture says, “YET I will rejoice in the Lord, I WILL joy in the God of my salvation.”  We have to make a decision to rejoice and take joy in the knowledge that He is in control and He is our salvation.  Sometimes it’s so much easier to just feel sorry for myself, but that is always a downward spiral.  When I chose to rejoice in Him and trust Him to bring me through it, the situation may not change but my attitude sure does. There are so many times in my life that I can look back and see God’s hand.  When the situation felt impossible to me, God was right there beside me and it only made me stronger in the end.  God has a purpose for everything.  Through the good and the bad, I will rejoice in Him.

I made a card with the WORDart this week.  It felt really good to get my hands dirty!

Have a blessed day!

Psalm 119:165 WORDart

Happy Thursday!  Here is the WORDart download for this week.  I am very thankful for the peace that I get when I read His word.  It seems like no matter how tough life feels in the moment, if I can just find a few minutes to get lost in the word of God everything feels like it’s going to be ok.  I love God’s word!

I didn’t have time to make anything with the WORDart this week.  Actually, I might have if my computer didn’t shut down on me before I saved the WORDart.  I lost all my work and the time I spent and had to start over…so frustrating.  I am terrible at remembering to save my work as I go, maybe now I will remember. 

I had a great week with my parents.  They came to see their great granddaughter for the first time.  Everyone came over to spend time with them and we had 14 people for dinner.  I loved having all of my family together under the same roof.  We pulled out baby pictures and compared Jaliyah to them to see who she looks like.  She looks a lot like her dad when he was a baby.  Such wonderful memories were made this week and I will treasure every single one.

Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog.

Romans 8:38,39 WORDart and a printable

Life is so uncertain.  We make plans, have dreams and set goals, but we are never promised tomorrow.  Just when it seems I get the most comfortable with my life something happens to remind me of just how uncertain life is.  There is one thing of which I can be absolutely certain and that is the love of Christ.  I desperately need His love in my life and I am so very thankful that nothing can separate me from Him.

Here is the WORDart for this week.  I have been admiring Subway Art for so long.  I decided to try my hand at it.  Just click on the image to take you to the download.

Here is a card I made using the WORDart.  It is sized at 4 x 5.25 so all I had to do was print, trim and mat and my card was finished.  I matted it onto red cardstock and then onto silver metallic before adhering it to the white card base.

I also have free printable for you as well.  I wanted to make it “official” Subway Art so I added a black background and grunged it up a bit.  It is 8 1/2 x 11.  Just click on the image to download.

I am linking to Little Birdie Blessings Scripture Thursday Linky Party.  Feel free to play along.

I have started a board on Pinterest for items made with my WORDart, so if you are looking for inspiration feel free to check it out.  If you need an invite to join Pinterest, send me an email and I would be happy to send you one.

If you would like to see your project pinned on this board, I would LOVE to add it.  Please leave me a link or shoot me an email with a link to your project and I will pin it.

Have a very blessed day!

Love Map

  I saw something like this on Pinterest and was inspired to make my own version for my daughter and son-in-law. 

I just Googled the locations on Google maps and printed them.  I die cut the maps using heart dies and then matted them onto red cardstock cut from scalloped heart dies (Spellbinders). 

I measured the glass from the frame I used and made a Photoshop document that size.  I determined the center and the placement of the hearts, then typed the info and centered “Happily Ever After” on the bottom.  I cut thin poster board the size of my frame and printed directly onto it.  I have a Canon MP640 printer and had no problem at all.  It just takes a very long time to dry and will smudge if you don’t let it sit.  Don’t ask me how I know this.  I let it sit for about half and hour and then used my heat gun to be sure it was really dry the second time around. ;) I then just had to adhere the hearts in the appropriate places and it was finished.

Here it is hanging on the wall. 

Hope you all have a fabulous Valentine’s Day with your loved ones.  Valentine’s Day is a family affair at our house.  I always make a really nice dinner and set the table all fancy and make my husbands favorite cake in a heart shaped pan.  It’s a day everyone looks forward to and I cherish the memories that are made.

Thanks for stopping by!
