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?? :)

My little scrapper!

I did a layout about Emily today. She had to do a project for school and from the choices of the way to display it (written report, poster, scrapbook, etc.), guess which she chose?? A scrapbook, of course!! :)

*Based on sketch #45 at Triple The Sketch

She had a ton of fun making it and she did a really good job! She's done a few pages since then on her own and I'm saving them so that when she gets enough, I can make her an album with them in it. I'm so glad my baby will carry on my hobby! I'm a very proud mama. ;)

Little Flower

I did a layout of Madison today that I'd like to share. My wonderful friend Peggy gave me a little challenge to use some stitching and handmade embellishments on a page, so decided to take her up on it! I tried not to think too hard while making the layout, but instead to just let my creative side take over a little more than usual.

I love the result!!

I did some stitching around the edges of the papers and also on the picture/mat. I really like the look it gives. Oh, and the embellishments that I made were the brown flower and the stem/leaves. It was so much fun! Totally not something I would usually do but definitely something I'll be doing again. Who knew? :)

Isn't she "lovely"?? ;)

I got another layout for Cathy's album done this morning. This picture is her daughter Hannah having some fun swinging...

Cathy told me she wanted the title for this one to be "Lovely", so that's where I got the play on words, hehe. I'm in a weird mood today so I'm just amusing myself...feel free to ignore me, LOL!! ;)

Field Trip

Here's another layout for Cathy that I did last night. Isn't this just the cutest picture?? :) They all went on a little field trip together and Cathy took this picture of Adam with the kids...

I really loved how this paper (SEI) pulled out all of the colors in the picture! The only time I faltered during this one was when I went to make the title. I realized I didn't have enough chipboard letters to do it, ack!! I tried a rub-on, but it looked AWFUL, so I took a strip of paper and cut it into tiny 1/4" pieces, stamped the letters on them, inked the sides, put them back together and then attached them with some pop dots. I LOVE how it looks! :) If you click on the picture, you can see it much better...

It's so much fun to find a new way to do something...especially when you're desperate for an idea, lol!!

When you walk...

I did another page for my sweet friend Cathy (my sis-in-law) today. I went to Michael's last night and picked up a paper pack for some of her pages and am soooo in LOVE with it. So I bought one for me too, LOL!! ;) It's made by SEI and is called Dill Blossom. The colors are just gorgeous!! This may be my new favorite line along with Basic Grey...

I really love this picture. It's my hubby's brother Adam and his middle daughter Hannah taking a walk together. Isn't it just the sweetest thing?!? I was trying to decide what to put with the picture and when I came across this Bible verse, I thought it fit perfectly...

"I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble."

- Proverbs 4:11-12

Adam is guiding Hannah, not only as they walk, but also as she goes through life, and God does the same thing for all of us. Pretty awesome, huh? :)

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.
