Hollies

I love this time of the year. The weather is cooler, I work on my Christmas projects, enjoy the decorations and lights everywhere, and enjoy seeing the first hollies turning red. So today I'm posting a card that was inspired by the holly bushes we have in our yard.

Paper: Green, white, red and glitter white cardstock, hollies paper
Tools: Cutting/embossing machine, scalloped oval die, oval die, border punch, mini snowflake punch
Embellishments: Red bow, leaves and hollies stickers, red and green - with holly - brad, Merry Christmas sticker, glitter snowflake.

Get inspired and make something very special for someone. Let them know you love them. 

Thank you for stopping by. God bless you.

Wise Men Still Seek Him

Somebody once told me that faith is for those who are not very bright. That statement got me thinking. If faith is not a smart thing, why is it that one believes that there is no God? You need a lot of faith to believe in the big bang THEORY, or any other way that brought the human race to existence. Actually you need more faith to believe that a theory is true than to believe the FACT that God not only exists, but He loves us beyond measure. He is a loving, caring, fair and powerful God. The truth is He does not depend on ones belief to exist. He exists. Period. So, I gave my life to this amazing God when I was 13, and I am sure, as I am here writing this post, that one day I will be in His presence. WE ALL will. Some for the final judgement, and some to enjoy eternity with our Heavenly Father.  So I'm living my life, I'm happy, and I have Him to keep me going when things get difficult. If I am wrong, I have nothing to loose. But, WHAT IF I AM RIGHT? 
I firmly believe that faith is not blind. Faith is wise. That's why the wise men went to see Jesus for themselves, they wanted to place their faith in Him. Be wise and seek Him today too. Find Him, and give your life to Him. I promise you that you will never regret your decision. Here is my Christmas card for you today.

 Supplies
Paper: White card, dark blue, white and gold paper
Tools: Computer and printer, blue glitter gel pen
Embellishments: Dark blue with gold leaves ribbon, wise men sticker

This is such an easy to make card, and it will make a beautiful addition to your Christmas cards for family and friends. 

Thank you for stopping by. May the God Almighty, worthy of our faith, bless you abundantly.

Joy to the World

Sometimes I have to stop and thank God for everything He has done for me, especially for sending His Son to pay the debt I couldn't pay. What a joy it is to know that I'm free to repent from my wrong doings (sins), receive forgiveness and have an awesome relationship with Jesus. What an amazing joy He has brought to my life! He is most definitely the joy this world needs.

Sorry, the bow and ribbon seem to be bronze color, but they are golden like the star.

Supplies Used
Paper: white and red cardstock
Tools: cutting/ embossing machine, polka dots and border embossing folders (Sizzix)
Embellishments: Nativity scene, star and sentiment phrase stickers. Gold ribbon and bow. 

If you haven't experienced what it is to have the joy of God in your heart, don't waste any more time. Tell Him you want Him in your life. Repent for whatever you've done that has sadden His heart. Turn to Him, let Him heal your heart, and bring you His joy. 

Thank you for stopping by, and be blessed.
