Jeremiah 17:7 WORDart

I don’t have a card this week, but I do have some new WORDart for you.  

I am so thankful for the hope I have in the Lord!  Have you ever had a time in your life when just nothing seemed to be going right?  Well, I will be a little transparent here and tell you that is the way things have been going for me lately.  It just seems like it is one thing after another…one problem is solved only to move on to the next one.  Computer issues…car troubles…health issues…can I catch a break, please!  But then I stop and realize just how blessed I am.   My hope does not come from earthly things, but my hope is in the Lord who gives me strength for everything, however big or small.  I think maybe God is trying to teach me that I need to just trust in Him and not stress so much.  I am so thankful for the word of God that speaks to my heart and encourages me and for the hope I have in the Lord.

I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to leave me a comment or send me an email recently.  I can not tell you how much that has meant to me!  It means more than I can say and was the perfect encouragement at the perfect time.  God is so good!

I also want to thank everyone who has supported and/or purchased from my side hobby, The Angel Company.  The Angel Company has decided to close effective immediately.  It makes me sad and I will very much miss being a part of  The Angel Company.

My husband will be having surgery next week, so if things are quiet here it is because I am taking care of my family.   If I can squeeze in some computer time between caring for him and homeschooling the kiddos, I will have some new WORDart  for you.  If I can squeeze in some crafty time, I might even have a card!  I would really appreciate your prayers for a speedy recovery for my husband and strength for our family.

May God richly bless your day!

1 Peter 2:9 WORDart

 

I apologize for the lack of WORDart last week.  My computer has been very temperamental lately, refusing to open programs and taking hours to boot up.  It is a little better now, but verrrrrryyyy sllllooooowwwww…..very frustrating.

I used my son’s favorite scripture for the WORDart this week and framed it for his room.  I changed the color to red and printed it onto letter size photo paper and framed it in a document frame.  The WORDart download was created in this size so it is ready for framing if you choose.  It is also easily resized to be used on cards or framed in a smaller size.

Sorry about the reflections in the picture.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I pray your day is blessed.

1 John 4:4 WORDart

I am back with some new WORDart!  I hope everyone’s summer is going well. 

I am so thankful that God is bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears and bigger than any temptation!

For this card, I used the cane impression plate and inked it up with Fresh Snow ink before running it through the Cuttlebug with the kraft card base.  I then die cut a piece of kraft cardstock using a half & half die and ran it through my printer (taped with removable tape to plain old printer paper) and printed the WORDart.  I tried the dry brush technique, but I am so not thrilled with the results.  I definitely have some work to do to perfect that technique!  I wrapped some black embroidery floss around the end after punching notches with a small circle punch and added some black gems.  The focal point is adhered to the card with foam tape.  That little flourish at the end is from the Half & Half stamp set.  I love this stamp set and dies and have already used them several times…so worth the investment.  All stamps and cardstock are from Papertrey.

Have a blessed day!
