I scrapped!!

My gosh, I feel like it's been FOREVER since I scrapped something! Both Emily and I got the Flu and it was a rough couple of weeks around here. Thankfully we're both better now though and I got the chance to create...finally!

I was able to get a Scripture layout done and I really love how it looks. I got some adhesive pearls on sale last time I went to Michaels and I was excited to finally get to use them. I think they look great in the scallops...

Supplies: K&Company Paper - Life's Journey; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Fiskars Threading Water Border Punch; Fiskars Squeeze Punch - Round & Round (large & extra large); Prima Flowers; Making Memories Alpha Letters - Chloe's Closet; Recollections Pearls

This Verse is one of those that really reminds me of the kind of person I should always strive to be. Remembering to give more than I get is sooo important...

So, that's it for today. I'm hoping that this coming week will be a very creative one and I'll have more to share soon. ;) Thanks for looking!!

Scripture Challenge - Heart

I recently did another Scripture Challenge layout. I really want to get caught up with these because they are so important!! Hopefully this week I can work on some...

Supplies: K&Company Paper Pads - Classic & Life's Journey, Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch, Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Scenic Route Chipboard Heart (used as a template); Making Memories Alpha Stickers - Chloe's Closet; Colorbok Life's Blessings Quote Pack

There were so many amazing verses to choose from for this one, but I really feel this was the perfect choice. The focus of the verse is about loving God, which is what should fill our hearts...LOVE for Him and for His people. That's really all that matters, isn't it?? :)

I hope you have a day full of His blessings...

Scripture Challenge - Path & Give

I did a couple of new Scripture challenge layouts yesterday and I really love them both. :) They are not at all in order though, lol!! The next one I needed to do was week #24 (I'm a little behind), but these are actually the words for weeks #46 & #48. I just found really perfect Scriptures for them both, so I decided to go ahead and do them. It doesn't matter if I go in order anyway, right?? As long as I'm doing them and showing my love for our precious Lord, that's all that matters to me.

For path, there were SOOO many verses that I found that were wonderful, but this one really spoke to me when I read it. It gives me this amazing feeling of hope and joy...like my future has bright things in it that I can't even imagine. I pray that's true...

For give, I also found a few different verses I liked, but John 3:16 is the PERFECT one for it. There is nothing in this world more precious that God could have given us than His Son...who in turn gave us all the chance to have everlasting life. How AMAZING is that??? We are tremendously blessed to be His children...



Thank you for taking the time to look at these. I hope they've brightened your day some. God bless!!

Some Scripture pages...

I'm working on a 6x6 Scripture album for my wonderful mom-in-law, Arlene. I got 8 layouts made yesterday, and then today I put them back-to-back on some chipboard to make 4 complete pages of the album. I punched some holes into each page and used metal rings for the closures so she can easily add more pages later on. I really like it so far! :)

I won't post each individual supply list since there are so many of these, so I'll just tell you that most of the papers are from K&Company's "Life's Journey" paper pad and I used ALOT of Tim Holtz distress inks. I even tried out a couple of his masks too...fun stuff! Thanks for looking...

Scripture Challenge - Time & Truth

I did my latest Scripture challenge layouts last night so I wanted to share them with you. I really love how they both turned out...

For the word Time, I used a very common verse, but one that should be remembered DAILY. God's timing is perfect...always. His plan for all of our lives is constant -- there are no mishaps in His eyes. If we believe that, we'll have no trouble trusting Him with everything...



For Truth, I actually found a verse I hadn't read before, but I really love what it says. "...all His work is done in truth." How awesome is that?! We can count on God for anything and everything and He will be there, on our side, showing us the right way to live our lives, in truth, without fear or doubt. That's a pretty amazing feeling...



I hope one of these might bless you today...I know they have me! :)

Scripture Challenge - Wisdom

Another Scripture challenge layout to share...

I really enjoyed looking up verses for this one. The Lord has all the wisdom we'll ever need right in His Word for us to find anytime we want to... :)

SC - His Presence, Glory, Fruit, & Desire

I made a couple of new layouts and redid a couple of others for my Scripture challenge tonight. I'm really happy with how they all turned out...

Such powerful verses!! Doing these layouts has really been such an amazing blessing to me. It gives me a chance to get into God's Word looking for something specific, and then I always seem to find so much more than what I'm looking for. I love it... :)

Scripture Challenge - Joy

I did the next layout for my Scripture challenge last night...

The meaning behind this verse really gives me such an amazing feeling!! The Lord has given me so much and verses like this one help me remember to be thankful and praise Him for it all every day...

Scripture Challenge - Comfort

Here's the next page for my Scripture challenge...

I loved doing this one! The verse I found was absolutely perfect...especially as a mommy. :)

Scripture Challenge - Protection

I was able to get 2 pages done today...a layout for Cathy and my next Scripture challenge layout. Since I just finished Cathy's layout a few minutes ago, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to share it with you so I can get a good picture of it outside. For now, here's the Scripture challenge one...

I really love this verse!! What better feeling could we possibly have than knowing our precious Lord is watching over us all the time? There's nothing that could make me feel more safe than that... :)

Scripture Challenge - Listen

I did my next Scripture challenge layout today. This word is so important! We have to open up our ears...and our hearts...to hear what the Lord is telling us everyday. We may not always realize at first that He's actually telling us something, but if we pay close attention and catch those moments, we will be even more blessed. That's a great feeling, isn't it?? :)

*Inspired by Shanna Vineyard's "Lucky Me Grateful" journal seen here

I did more sewing on this layout and it was great! It's so much fun trying something new and actually having it work out the way you want it to. My next try will be on a 12x12 page...wish me luck, lol! ;)

Scripture Challenge - Live

I got another layout for my Scripture challenge done on Saturday night. I had so much fun with it!! My totally AWESOME sister bought me a sewing machine a few months ago and I've wanted to try using it on some paper, so I did and I really love how it looks! It adds such a nice touch to the page...

When I was looking for a verse for the word live, I read this one and knew it was a perfect fit. Christ lives IN ME! Isn't that just amazing to know?? :)

Scripture Challenge - Grace

Here's the second layout I did last night. The message on this one is truly amazing to me...knowing that I am lucky enough to be saved through God's grace. I am so blessed!!

I really loooooove how this one turned out. The colors are just awesome and it seemed to all fit so perfectly together. This is definitely one of my favorites so far. :)

Scripture Challenge - Prayer

I got a couple more Scripture challenge layouts done last night. Here's the first one...

I kept it really simple because I had alot I wanted to say for the journaling and didn't want to take away from that. Prayer is so important to me and remembering that God ALWAYS answers our prayers is a must! His answers may not always seem like what they should be to us, but they are always right and what we need at that time...

Scripture Challenge - Cover Page

I got the cover page for my Scripture challenge album done last night...

For the title part, I used rub-ons at first, but I was SO unhappy with how they looked, so I took some Tim Holtz ink (Tea Dye) and inked all over the paper to blend them into the background for a better look. Well, I loved the color it made the paper but was still unhappy with the rub-ons. I tried taking them off with some tape (a very handy trick if you ever need to remove some), but they were reallllly stuck, so I decided to make a title block to cover them. It worked great!

I added a butterfly that I cut out of a piece of patterned paper and attached it with some pop-dots. I drew a flight path from the flower, sewed over it with some brown thread and then also used the same thread to attach the title block...

So, when I started, I never expected this page to look how it does, but I really love it!! How funny is that? :)

Scripture Challenge - Trust

Here's the second layout for the Scripture challenge I did today...

This one really got to me. I'm a big worrier so trusting the Lord with everything has been tough for me, but it's been a wonderful journey and definitely worth it! I know now that He really does have a plan for us all and we just have to be willing to let Him show us the way...

Scripture Challenge - Glad

I did a couple more layouts for the Scripture challenge today. Here is the first one...

I really love what this verse says. It reminds me to be thankful for each and every beautiful day the Lord gives me! :)

Scripture Challenge - Peace

I got one more of these done today so I wanted to share it too...

This verse is just amazing. It's as if I can hear the Lord telling me these words and I know how true they are! HE is my peace...my comforter...my protector...my caretaker...and He loves me more than anything. What could ever give me a more peaceful feeling than knowing all of that?? :)

Scripture Challenge - Beauty

I did another word for the Scripture challenge this morning. Beauty is the word for this one and it took me a while to decide which verse to use for it. There are alot that I thought would fit the word just fine, but the one I chose just feels perfect to me...

On the back: Isn't that amazing?? :) These days, it seems as if the world only sees the beauty on the outside, when what really matters is the beauty within someone...in their souls and their hearts. God can see that beauty if it's there, and we should glorify Him by letting others see it as well.

Scripture Challenge - Kindness

I got week 2's layout done today too. The word for it is Kindness...

I just LOVE this verse! It really makes you remember to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" doesn't it?? :)
