Mo's challenge #96

Feeling blue is the new challenge theme. Course, a new baby is nothing to be blue about! I love this cute little buckaroo from Mo Manning. I added the text with my computer.

It's Saturday and it's time for the Speedy the Cat's Friends' Challenge over on Mark's Finest Papers.

This week we were to use embossing. This is a new woodgrain folder from Paper Studios that I found yesterday. I inked the raised embossed parts after embossing the kraft paper. The stamps are from Mark's Finest Papers and I added the grass with a copic marker. Make sure you check over on Mark's Finest Papers Blog to see the terrific cards made by the challege design team.

Stampin' Sisters in Christ

This is for Challenge #101 over at Stampin' Sisters in Christ today. I bought 3 or 4 packages of these cross brads and have been pretty stingy in using them. Do I do the same thing with my faith and the truths I know to be true? Do I keep it to myself instead of sharing it with others? Another thing I do is keep little left over pieces of ribbon. They are just too pretty to throw away. So today I am going to share some truths I know. file://we/ are much like these little remnants of ribbon to God. We are too beautiful to Him to not see our usefulness in His Kingdom. So He weaves us together not only to make us even more beautiful as a body together, but to make us more united and stronger. And in the awe of His glory and the great things He has done with us, for us, and through us, we still honor Him as our God, our creator, our all in all. Have a blessed Sabbath, renew your spirit, and refresh yourself for a new week.

FTTC129 Favorite flowers

This is for the FTTC129 challenge to use your favorite flowers. This is one of my favorite Flourish stamps and I colored it with copic markers. I liked it paired with this Basic Grey design paper and had a scrap of this wide ribbon on my stamping table, which works perfectly.
