Pig for Fun

I have been very distracted from making cards this week and so today I found some time to sit in my craft cubby and play.  I went looking through my stash of extra images that I'd printed off and haven't used yet.  I found this fantastic pig from Clear Dollar Stamps and it comes with the sentiment in the set called Loving Critters.  This set can be found at the Clear Dollar Stamps store HERE. There is also a coloured version of the same set.
Anyhow, I wanted to just play a little and this is what I came up with.  I coloured the image with my pencil crayons and cut it out.  It's layered over a die cut by spellbinders and some textured brown cardstock from the Dollar Store.  I added the swatch of burlap and then layered some great ribbons together.  I pulled out three great buttons from my collection that I tied a section of Elmer's braiding cord through.  After I added the sentiment, the one corner still looked a bit empty so I added a burlap tag with a matching bow tied to it.  Oh and I inked the sentiment and around the edge of the diecut with Ink It Up chocolate brown.
I hope to be able to play some more this weekend and have more to share with you.  Thank you for dropping by, I love to see you! Have a great weekend!

He Loves

 

Today I'd like to share with you a card that I've made inspired by the challenge going on over at Clearly iStamp.  It is a challenge inspired by SCRIPTURE.  I am using a sentiment from the set Melody of Truth and it can be found at Clear Dollar Stamps HERE. 

Every time I read this I hear the old hymn playing through my mind. Oh how He loves you and me! Such a great truth that God in his love sent down his Son Jesus to pay the price for our sins. And oh what a price it was.  I am so very thankful that His sacrifice paid the complete price for my sins.  Jesus in the Bible says this "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life." -John 6:47  "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - John 14:6  The Father is in Heaven, therefore if we are to go to heaven, there is only one way.  Praise God that Jesus has made a way for all to be saved and forgiven.  It is my prayer that if you haven't yet believed on Jesus for the salvation of your very soul that you would seek Him while there is time.  It says in the Bible in Hebrews 9:27 " And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement:" Without believing on Jesus alone for salvation, there is no forgiveness for sin.  We have all sinned and we all need Jesus.  Have you believed?
I am also sharing this card at Word Art Wednesday.

Hoppy-ness!

Hello, Today I'd love to share some hoppy-ness with you all.  I have been wanting to use this sweet set from Clear Dollar Stamps HERE.  This little bunny is just too adorable to sit in my files unused! So here he is, coloured with prisma pencil crayons and tucked into some "bushes" that I've made with my EK Success border punch and wrapped with some ribbon from Kaisercraft.  The papers are for DCWV and K&Company. The card base is from the Dollar Store.  I added this sentiment which is also from this set and then added some bright pearls from Forever in Time.  I enjoyed making this one so much that I made another...

So if you love this bunny as much as I do pop over and see the whole set! HERE! Thanks for dropping by!
