Notebooks

I am a notebook type of person. I like to always have one to make my hundreds of lists that I like to make - To do lists, buckets lists, grocery lists, recipie lists, birthday lists, etc.

These are for prayer journals - I will be giving them to a couple friends who are joining me in a new journey I am taking - called the Radical Experiment.  It is awesome....read the book Radical by David Platt and you will understand....

Hope you love the books!

Cards for Christ Sunday

Sunday is a day filled with church for me. I lots of time do nursery duronig Sunday School hours, then church (Abby is starting to sit with me for part of it), then home, and night service. I love my pastor and my church...not much more I can say on that!

These cards are using Our Daily Bread...The second one I like better, but I think they both are simply said. I will probably give them to the "Someone Cares" Ministry at our church. They write to prisoners and it is almost completely funded by the leaders of the group, so I like to help out when I can.

The patterened paper is from my stash...

Close To My Heartt cardstock...

Georgia Pacific cardstock for the base...

And as previously stated - Our Daily Bread Stamps...

Yes - Another Card Kit!

I am in a Christian Card Kit Swap and I do not want to offend any of the swappers in the group - but this one by far has been my favorite...I think mainly due to the colors....and I want this stamp set!

Design D.I.V.A.S Challenge

We were to use a very unique technique (which if you know me I don't venture into the technique world much) with our cuttlebug and scrap paper. Instead of using scrap pieces, I used scrap punch pieces and this is how it turned out...I didn't trim the white completely perfect to give it the scrap feel instead of the background.

Not completely sure that I like my colors, but I guess I am just happy I tried a new technique!

Someone Cares - Church Ministry

My church has a ministry called "Someone Cares" in which they write letters to those in prison. I am not much at writing letters but have wanted to help out. I decided that with my new stamps from Our Daily Bread (who by the way has some amazing new stamps this month!) I could help out by making cards. I only did 13 for the women this Easter, but will be trying to make enough each month so a few people get cards as they write to around 60 folks in total. I made all of these from scraps I had handy!
