The third week of Advent already and another Sunday which means time for a challenge based on scripture at Stampin' Sisters in Christ! We are always so glad to have you visit.
Preparing our hearts for the birth of our Lord - such a wonderful season. I just had to make that above card from an old stamp set that I had. It required some digging to find it but this verse really cried out for me to use it. It is simple, exactly what this scripture verse is. Simple with a powerful message. At church tonight we sang one of my favorites - "I looked up and saw my Lord a-coming.....". There are other verses but you get the drift and perhaps you even know the song. This is a very special time of the year - and the message that is required is in the verse above. He is born - for us.
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."
I colored that card very simply as well, dug out the old coloring pencils for it. I wanted the muted look. I used this week's sketch from Card Patterns for this card.
The challenge for this week was to make a birthday card in honor of Christ's birth. Well I first made the card below because it is one of my granddaughters 9th birthday on the 23rd and I wanted to make her card totally all about her.
So this card was made for Dreama - happy birthday sweetie! I used another sketch challenge this week from Mojo Monday.
Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp with an adorable stamp set called Terra's Penguins Have Style.
