Happy Sunday - this is the day the Lord has made - let us rejoice and be glad in it. I am so glad you could join us at Stampin' Sisters in Christ for another challenge based on scripture!
This week our wonderful Lisa is our hostess and the verse she chose is Isaiah 1:18. Be sure to stop by our home page to read her wonderful devotion.
Is it not amazing that our sins, no matter what they might be, can be wiped away - our souls can be as clean and white as snow. Do we do that with our brothers and sisters in Christ? With our spouses, our children, our parents, or co-workers? It is not easy to "forgive and forget" when someone has hurt us especially someone we love. Yet that is what we, as Christians, are called to do. Just as I ask God to forgive me my sins and know that He will forgive AND forget so must I forgive those who hurt me. Easy to recite that prayer - more difficult to actually live it. So this week forgive AND forget some transgression against you. Think about it, pray about it and then - forget about it. That is a goal for me this week - care to join me?"'Come now, and let us reason together,’ says the Lord. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.’”
The challenge this week is to use fall colors in your creation: crimson, orange and gold (or similar).
I was in the mood for a sketch challenge so I found a great sketch at CPS. The most difficult thing about this card was the cutting. It was different for me to use kraft - I do not use it often enough! Our sponsor this week is Lily of the Valley with a 10 pound gift card from her store!

Hi Miesje! Oh your card is so pretty! I love the craft base and the basket image... and the paper piecing is perfect! Loved reading your thoughts today and yes, I will join you! I got hit with a BIG surprise that was revealed to me this week that did require that conscious decision to forgive it and forget it! There's such cleansing in that!
