Tuesday Lamentations

9/21/2021

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!

In{k}spired Psalm 84

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

12/22/2020

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!

Leave It to God

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!

Retro Ecclesiastes 3

So glad to see another tic-tac-toe at this week's Retro Rubber #127!
For today's row, I went with the diagonal - Green-Diecut-Nature. I knew right away I wanted to pull out my old Inspired by Nature set - 2008, but still so elegant! I paired it this time with this wonderful scripture from Ecclesiastes 3, this one from Our Daily Bread's Scripture Collection 1. Something seems to be going on with them - they might now be Divinity Designs? Anyway, this collection is also an old one, but I'm not able to find a year, sigh. I do love it paired with the simple grass image, though! Simple and perfect!

Inspired Psalm 19

I'm loving this awesome bold sketch from this week Inspire Create Challenge #059!
Seeing this lovely off-center focus made me think of my too-long neglected scripture sets - how perfect to highlight one against a gorgeous background! I went digging and landed on this beauty from Psalm 19, and realized how perfect a sheet from our amazing Feels Like Frost Papers would be to go with - what perfect illustrations of the "work of His hands!" This came together so quickly, but I feel like it's just right...

"Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes made of ticky-tacky!" Sorry, every time I look at our inspiration color pic at this week's Sunday Stamps #211, that little song just runs through my head, lol!
With a color spread like that I wanted to find a way to use as many as I could, while keeping it fairly contained. I kept thinking about that song, too, and remembered our little pot of brushes in Crafting Forever - perfect! Then, I just wasn't satisfied with the sentiment - but what about something from scripture? I finally came across this quote from Psalm 19 that seemed to fit - God's paint brushes are just bigger than my little pot, lol.
So, what will you create? I can't wait to check it out over at the challenge!

Art & Silhouettes Class Aug 15 & 17!
So excited for our first focus class of the new catty! This month we'll zero in on two suites: the gorgeous It Starts With Art AND Silhouette Scenes! We'll do three cards in each suite, and class will includes snacks, drinks, and a special treat from me! All you need to bring is your favorite snips and adhesive, I provide everything else! Class is $25, or can be FREE with your order of $30 or more! RSVP to save your spot for Thursday, August 15 at 630 pm, or Saturday, August 17 at 3 pm - see you soon!

Oh goody! It's a banner day over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #420! Not only that - we're teaming up again with Double-Trouble Challenges - be sure to check out the extra surprises there!
I decided to focus on DSP today, and it's hard for me to stop going back to the gorgeous Woven Threads - I am LOVING our new In Colors, and these papers give us even more option for sneaking them in! I decided to add this lovely Our Daily Bread sentiment from their God Verses 2 set - I've always felt like Psalm 19 is so celebratory!So, what will YOU create?? I can't wait to check it out over at the challenge!

Woven Isaiah

Yippee! So excited that Joy of Sets #007 has a new grid for us to play with again!
I decided to go for the far right column: Twine-Die Cut-Emboss, and with some trepidation, give our new Heirloom Frames a go! I naturally pulled in the colors from the Woven Threads DSP, which is also in the suite it's shown with, but for my sentiment I went with this Isaiah quote in Hold on to Hope. And that was the kind of encouragement I needed to get through these frames, lol. It took me more tries than I want to tell to figure out the new "sandwich" for my machine, and in the end, I also discovered that the ORDER of the sandwich is making a big difference for me. I finally got some results I can share, though - woo hoo!
