Sponsoring Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge: The Veil was torn...

Hello friends!
Today we are sponsoring the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge!  If you like challenge blogs (Or just love to learn Scripture like we do!) you should head over and check this blog out!  We love the ladies there and what they do to promote an understanding of God's Word!  We do our best to support them every chance we get and hope you will, too!

The verse focus for this challenge #150 is"The veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom." Matthew 27:51

Just a little piece of what PeggySue wrote that really does an excellent job of teaching this verse and the powerful significance of the temple veil being torn at Christ's crucifiction, she writes, "When Jesus willingly gave himself up as an atoning sacrifice on the cross, and took the weight of the sin of the world on his shoulders, he opened the way for anyone, Jew or Gentile, to enter into a relationship with God. He tore the veil in two—sin separates us from God no longer, as long as we accept that sacrifice."

The challenge is to use a torn paper technique in your artwork.  I love the imagery of the very thick, heavy separating veil being torn at Christ's death, so I wanted to recreate a 'tearing' of 'curtain' look in my card, which uses Inspired Stamps ( EYE ON THE SPARROW, PRAYER, HLO: GIRL PRAYING, HIS CROSS), Bo Bunny paper, and CTMH embellishments for the most part:

Don't forget we have our 25%off SALE off your TOTAL PURCHASE of stamps JUST THROUGH WEDNESDAY!!

We ship most orders SAME DAY they are placed!
Have a blessed day and we'll be back soon with more Inspired Stamps creations!

Design Team Thursday: Scripture with Nature!

Hello friends!
I have not forgotten about the organization posts I promised, I just had forgotten how much TIME they take to accomplish!!  I am ALMOST finished with the organizational projects I planned to share, so next week...I PROMISE...I'll have them ready to go!  There is really no feeling like having your studio cleaned and organized and READY to create!!

Today, the Design Team has REALLY left me speechless with the creative designs they have blessed us with!  Seriously, I couldn't choose a favorite!!  Kary made this GORGEOUS calendar easel card which I will post the closed version to next, plus the rest of the AMAZING projects the Design Team made this week using a Scripture with Nature focus!
Kary used the ASK SEEK KNOCK set:

Amber used the Eye on the Sparrow set:

Belinda made a BUNCH of fabulous moleskine notebooks using the new 1 Inch Flower set plus various Scriptures:

Chere blessed us with a tutorial on stamping on tissue tape with the Card Ministry Basic Set  and the Bind and Stitch sets to create this dynamic look:

Deneen created this brick look using the Label Maker Alphabet set that I am posting below her card so you can see how...SO creative!!

Jamie 

created this beautiful card using the brand new Hope Transformed set (our biggest seller last week!)

Jenn was in a super creative mood with the tree stamp from the ASK SEEK KNOCK set...look at what she created:

 She created the background of her card like the above...using the stamp below!!  Genius!

How WONDERFUL are the creations this week?!?!

Rumor has it that the shipping prices are going up again this Sunday, so be sure to get your orders in by noon Saturday to take advantage of the $4.95 flat rate shipping in the US...it's going up to $5.15 as of Sunday!

Have a blessed weekend and the organizational posts will be up early next week!
