Hi! I’m very happy to be here with you today with a card for Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media Challenge.

Our challenge:

Here’s my card.

I used a stamp from Happy Little Stampers’ Thinking of You.

I started this card by creating a smooshed Brushos background panel. Then I stamped with some real leaves, inked up with green ink. I made the basic panel with the Brushos and the leaves first summer at the first HLS retreat in Swindon. I finished the card back at my house in Germany. At my house, I stamped with the large script stamp in gold metallic ink. img_4067_edited-1

I traced the leaves with white gel pen and added the stamped book spine and a piece of self-made Scripture designer paper.

So! Are you excited to join in with our Happy Little Stampers Mixed Media challenge?! I hope so. Make sure that you check out my teammates’ super creations at the challenge blog.

Thanks for stopping by!

Grace & Peace,

CASology Cue Word for Week 141 is “News.” I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get tired of the “news”. When I saw the cue word though, what popped into my mind was how I love goods news! Then, a Bible verse, Phil 4:8, came to mind.

Here is card that I made using that verse.

I used PTI’s Happy Hearts and A Cheerful Heart stamp sets for this card.

I made 2 other slightly different versions of this card. Look here and here.

The New King James Version of this verse speaks of a GOOD REPORT! I’m currently having to trust God with lots of doctors appointments and test results. I got 1 good report yesterday and will be having another big test tomorrow. Honestly, I’ve been dreading tomorrow’s test, so keeping my mind focused on this verse today as been a struggle. God knows all about me though, and He has good plans for me, He won’t abandon me and I will think on these true things, this good news report.

Thanks for stopping by!
