You are the Potter

This weekend I started out by creating the card above using the ODBD set called You Are the Potter. I have planned for this for years and was just waiting for the right stamp and time. The pots are stamped on "birch" bark and lightly colored with Copic Markers. Below is the inside of the card using one of the scripture verses and the stamp.

Thought for the Day: Because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires. In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God's promises 2 Peter 1:4-5

Chair for Me

Today's sample is in two parts. The cover of the card was created using the flower pot from a Flourishes set called "Chairs for You". I used CTMH cardstock for the base and the printed paper on front. Inside of the card I used the chair from the same set - stamped on CTMH paper and cut out image. Chair is embosed in Gold on the CTMH paper. I borrowed the lovely dog stamp (don't remember the stamp company) and stamped, colored with copics and cut him out and placed him on the chair.





Bible Verse for the day: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, So that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

My son enjoys riding a motorcycle. So after much searching for a rubber stamp with a motorcycle I found this one at Clear Dollar Stamps. Used my copic markers to color in the image.


Thought for theDay: God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1

This is the card I made for John for Father's Day. The card was made using the new Flourishes set. The base card was CTMH cardstock and I used a sizzix embossing folder for the embossed designs.

Thought for the Day: Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the Godly to slip and fall. Psalm 55:22

Violets

This card was created using the Flourishes set "Violets". I used Copic markers to color in the flowers and leaves. Printed paper is by Basic Grey. Used nestabilities round circles, scallop circles, and 12" lace die.

Thought for the day: He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. Psalm 25:9
Being humble means acknowledging your proper place before the Lord. When we worship him in humility, God will lead us and teach us the right way to live.

Flag

Today's post is a little different. I wanted to share something from Children's Church last sunday that has stuck with me this week. It was about finding Jesus in the flag. Here is a list of what I can remember.
Stars: represent the star announcing the birth of Jesus
Blue background: represents the sins of all people
Red: represents the blood Jesus shed for our sins
White: represents the forgiveness of our sins and the cleansing of those sins.
Stick or pole: represents the cross that Jesus died upon to forgive our sins.

I'm sure there are a couple of things I have forgotten but for now these are what I remember.

Mountain Retreat

Today's card was made several months ago when I was experimenting with the Zindorf technique.

Thought for the day: Faith is confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance of things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1
