Hearts and Hands

2/27/2022

Such a fun cue this week at Shopping Our Stash #464 - "you deserve a hand!"
I knew right away what set I wanted to use, too, lol. I've had this set from Our Daily Bread called Lift Up Our Hands since 2009, and I haven't used it since then, lol. I think I originally got it because it went so perfectly with the theme our church used to use for their annual auction, which was called "Hearts & Hands." We don't have that event any more {SOB} but this Lamentation quote is just as awesome! So nice to get it out again!

Inspiring Psalm 19

Now THIS is a cool challenge for Christmas Day! Time Out Challenges #203 wants us to be inspired by "inspiration!" So many possibilities!
So, I got to thinking about how a scripture quote could be perfect for this challenge, and after I spotted this gorgeous paper in our upcoming Flowering Fields DSP, I knew just which one I wanted, and it's not too shabby for Christmas Day either, lol, and I even got in lots of layers. So much wonderful scripture inspires me, especially "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given." Glory to the newborn King.

The True Vine

What a great quote from Da Vinci for this week's Time Out Challenge #201 - now THIS is a call for a CAS card!
I think I kept it pretty CAS, but managed a bit of sophistication, too. I really wanted to go back to my I Am set from Divinity Designs - today's John 15:1 quote is such a profound one. Seems to answer Da Vinci's quote on a few levels for me, lol. Anyway, while I kept the image and sentiment sparse, I also really dialed up the texture for my background, and couldn't resist a few soft green gems to finish things off. I even sponged some "vine" on my envelope from the diecut leftovers!

Filled With the Spirit

Oo, what a perfect theme for a great anniversary! Time Out Challenge #200 wants us to think "precious!"
So, I just returned from a 3-day Centering Prayer Silent Retreat, and it was such a refreshing and rejuvenating time. I had plenty of space to reflect on the term "precious" while I was there, and to celebrate the fruits of the spirit we found. So when I spotted this quote from Romans 15:13 in my new Holy Spirit set from Divinity Designs, I knew I had found my "precious," lol. I am definitely "overflowing" right now, and hope I can share that spirit with all of you...

Stenciled John 14

Oo, good one! The Sisterhood of Crafters would like us to showcase stencils this week!
After I got to make a lovely scripture card for TSOT last week, I thought I'd go check and see if there was anything new out at Divinity Designs - and I'm delighted that I found TWO new sets to me, one of which is this gorgeous collection of John "I am" sayings. The set is naturally called "I Am," lol. So perfect. And also just right for floating over my favorite cracked glass stencil in the Plenty of Patterns set - a match made in Heaven!

I am loving our mix-it-up combo this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #525!
Some folks may already know this about me, but I have one tiny stampin' indulgence outside of my beloved Stampin' Up! The scripture sets at Our Daily Bread, now called Divinity Designs, are a real indulgence for me. I swear, I do get every scripture set SU! makes, but the detailed verses from Divinity just can't be beat. I don't often get a chance to feature them on cards, but the cards I make with them always inspire my prayer practice! Today's card, with its reminder of His compassion, really spoke to me today...
I can't wait to see YOUR takes on this week's mix-it-up - meet you at the challenge!

Gorgeous combo over at this week's In{k}spire Me #455! Check out those colors!
I got to thinking, I haven't done a pretty scripture card lately - I bet I can find a stamp that fits that banner shape! And of course I did, from Our Daily Bread's Scripture Collection 6. I don't think I've stamped this one before! Anyway, the colors really reminded me of all the lovely prints from our beautiful Harvest Meadow DSP pack, so I pulled in some of those sheets for this one, too - so pretty! I even cut out a few stems in the coordinating colors, too!

Winter Psalm

We're closing out the year at SU Only #265 with a "winter" challenge - perfect!
I knew right away that for a winter theme, I HAD to use my beloved Feels Like Frost DSP - the photo sides of these papers never fail to amaze me, and the silver designs on the other aren't too shabby either, lol. I chose this lovely snowy scene, and broke it up a little into columns. Then I went hunting for a pretty sentiment. I've always loved this quote from Psalm 55, so I've saved this Blessing From Heaven set since 2011 just to keep it handy - looks gorgeous over the pretty scene!
I can't wait to see YOUR winter projects, too - see you at the challenge!

I'm back at Time Out Challenges #166 for the "peaceful" challenge - what a great idea!
During these stressful times, I have to come right out and say, I think it is my daily contemplative practice that is keeping me at peace. I don't talk about my faith too often, but twice a day, I have 20 minutes that I offer up to Him, to use as He will, and my heart is clearer for it, I think. This set retired last year for us, but I have hung on to it for this sentiment, which I think perfectly captures my contemplative time, and His peace. How can I help but be grateful? Peace to you all!

Hand Stamped Isaiah

Such a cute sketch this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #338!
I went browsing through my retiring sets again today (I don't really want to say how many I'm saying goodbye to this year - ouchie!) and realized that my beautiful Hold on to Hope set hasn't been out in a while - I so love this Isaiah quote! I stamped off the pretty vine in Soft Sea Foam for my background, and then stamped one to cut out full strength in Pear Pizzazz. I used a marker to touch up the Curry flowers, and floated a layered cross over all that. Simple and perfect!
