be joyful

Good morning! Today I have two projects to share. I used Sweet Little Lamb, Loop da Loop Alpha and the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps March Stamp of the Month: Blessings in Disguise. First I made a Faithdex card using one of the lambs.

Since my alpha was large and I didn't know where my letters would land, I first masked the top of the lamb. Only a small portion of the letter f ended up needing to be masked!

The sun was a pre-printed die-cut prompt from the Gifts & More section of the SNSS Store.

While I had that awesome Loop da Loop Alpha out, I decided to also make a card. I used my MISTI to stamp the letters onto some patterned paper, then added some stamped and fussy cut leaves. This is a 3 1/2 x 6 1/4 card which fits into a regular #6 3/4 envelope. Sometimes it's nice to make a different size and we mostly all have this size envelope handy!

Have a great day!

Hope

{jane bosi}  I could start a regular creative feature where I show you how I resurrected some project after a major mess up or goof!  I'm telling you, Sisters (and Brothers?) I painstakingly water colored this faithdex card.  And, I loved it!  The florals from Happy Irises are fun to color!  It was going to be fabulous.  I was proud of it.  I couldn't wait to share it.  Just one last step--add the sentiment from The Future set....


I may have CRIED. OUT. LOUD.

This is not an optical illusion or fuzzy computer screen--this is the real deal.  I was just about to start over, when that little creative voice whispered--fix it.

And, just like in real life, the Word came to my rescue.  I pulled a page from a thrift store bible straight out of the sermon my pastor preached that day--about Hope.  This little project is a great reminder of how God works with our broken pieces.  Battered and torn though we may be, He uses it all for His glory.  And, Hope came down so we could be restored.

I will hope in the character of God.  His plan, His provision, His love, His will.  Let it be.

I finished the backside of this card with more iris images and stamps from Typewriter Block Alphabet and Trust In The Lord.

In Him, Jane
