The holiday weekend is over (and it was wonderful) and now it is the wonderful lazy days of summer. Being a teacher has summer vacation as a huge benefit! I am so glad you could join us at Stampin' Sisters in Christ for another challenge based on scripture!
This week sweet Rebekka is our hostess and the verse she chose this week is James, chapter 2 verses 18 and 19.
It goes together, faith and doing good. In a way I am very selfish - it makes ME feel good to help others and to do things at the church and for those less fortunate. Not everyone shows their faith in the same way - so I do caution myself to not let this verse lead me to judge another persons faith by their works. For me - it goes together."But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works". Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe and tremble. "
I made a very simple card today. Something that "works" for me is paper piecing. I use that technique a lot. I also like to use my scraps and the pieced sections were all scraps that were laying on my craft table. This card is simple for me, but it worked.
The challenge for this week is to do "what works for you" use your favorite item for stamping, it could be a stamp, embossing folder, favorite spellbinder shape.
. Our sponsor this week is our ever faithful Simon Says Stamps with an adorable stamp set!

Uh-oh. I'm in love. I adore Kraft paper, paper piecing, and lots of empty space to make the image pop. You really nailed this so well! Thanks for joining us at the Alphabet Challenge Blog!
Whilst your card is beautiful
our challenge this week is for the card to be one layer...as in just a single card base, no additional layers. your matting looks so effective but excludes you from any showCASing or prize for the month
Great to see your work
Thank you so much

This is so pretty. I love the little blue bird on the banner. I was driving with my daughters today and we saw a little blue bird that looked almost like this one. It was sitting on a wire over a gate.
