Hold on to Hope

12/23/2017

Hm, we're not quite past the big day yet, but Stamp Ink Paper #130 is here to remind us of life after Christmas, lol! I'm game!
Today's choices were mostly about the paper, I'm afraid, lol. The upcoming Sweet Soiree suite is quite frou-frou, lol, but the paper is just gorgeous, and I had to have it right away! Somehow, when I wasn't looking, I think Berry Burst has become my second favorite (after LLT, of course) In Color! I paired it with the lovely Hold on to Hope set, that has a new little scripture snippet for us -and pairs with a perfect framelit set, that even coordinates with our retired Crosses of Hope set - woo hoo!

Tuesday Hebrews

Another cute sketch at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #347!
So, a friend recently reminded me I haven't done any scripture cards lately - not sure what that's about, but this sketch is perfect for sneaking in a verse! While I also chose this Hebrews 13:8 because it was the right size and shape (shh!), it's also just a great reminder for our daily trials - I love the feeling of connection I get to our past, our present and the future with this. Enjoy!

Today we have a lovely sketch from TGIF #124! I'm adding in these "rainbow" colors from Sunday Stamps #161, too!
It took me a little bit to break down this sketch - lots of layers and shapes to play with, and I needed some doily alternates, lol. I settled on my gorgeous and beloved Vintage Leaves, always fun to color, and a perfect foil for these Autumnal colors. My eye caught on this wonderful scripture quote from Rose Wonder, too. It's been an introspective last couple of weeks, hasn't it? It's good to be reminded where I can and should lean...

I'm excited by the possibilities in this week's fun layout from Case This Sketch #198! I just had to pair it with this wild color combo from In{k}spire Me #275, too!
So, even with my excitement, this layout really had me stumped this afternoon! I have a few preview items left to show, but alas, I can't quite make them work for this combo, sigh. Then I had it - I have a stack of big background stamps that were recently gifted to me from my dear friend Bonnie, in thanks for lunch-sitting their new and totally adorable Ridgeback puppy. I know, right? I should have been paying HER, lol! Anyway, in a tasty wine gift basket, she also snuck in these four Southwest-style petroglyph-looking wood-mounts. Super cool! They're from a company called Comotion, in Tucson, and I think they're gone now, but these are VERY cool! I played with the ink colors on this one, and added this totally apt Banner Blessing. Love!

I'm so happy with this week's wonderful landscape layout at Freshly Made Sketch #261 - I've been neglecting those lately I think!
Another area I've been neglecting lately is scripture, lol. With a nice open field to fill, I decided to add that facet as well! This quote from Timothy 11 is one I need lots of reminding on lately - quick, someone mail me this card!!

Lovely layers at this week's Match the Sketch #118!I'm matching it with Create With Connie & Mary #400's colors - I had originally put it with another sketch, but designs overtook me!
I had so much fun playing with Banner Blessings a few days ago that I went back to it again today. I remembered that there were a couple starry papers in the Going Places DSP stack, too, which brought in the color challenge. This card just assembled itself, I have to say!

Here we are already on our final week of My Pumpkin Challenge #0316 - Say It With Flowers. I have an idea for combining this one with Sunday Stamps #123 - Rainbows, too - let's see what happens!
Can you tell this is stamp nostalgia week for me? Sorry - the closer we get to convention, the more I start fretting about potential retirements in the SU! world, lol. So I start trotting out my less-than-frequent flyers, in the hopes of exerting some rescue jou-jou. If only it worked that way, lol.

A SIP of Scripture

Lots of fun layers at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #261! I'm combining it with this fresh color challenge over at Stamp Ink Paper #38!
There's an extra twist over at Try Stampin', too - to NOT use floral elements, quite the challenge with these colors lol! Given that, I realized I hadn't done a scripture card in a while, and figured that could be an easy way to avoid the floral temptations, lol. A quick search yielded this one in just the right size, not that it's not a good one all on its own!

Time for another challenge from Freshly Made Sketch #224!
Today I decided to go check out my card boxes - what do I need to start filling in? As always, my Scripture box is a constant work in progress, but this nice wide open layout really leaves a lot of room for something good! So here we are at Proverbs 3, lol. I do love this one - such a good reminder - one I always seem to need, too, I have to say...

A SIP of Isaiah

I SO had to laugh when I saw this week's Stamps, Ink, Paper #28 - anything BUT Christmas, lol. I have to admit, while my Christmas card box is very empty right now, I can totally get on board with this plan, lol.
So let's start this year off right - with a little Isaiah! Another awesome component of the gorgeous Rose Wonder set is the beautiful scripture from Isaiah 41:10 - and a perfect kick off for me for the New Year! This time 'round I left off the outline framelit to show how pretty it is in ink alone. You really just can't go wrong with this one!
