Mom

This one is for my mom. Being Dutch we all love tulips so she had to have a card with a tulip. I made this for the Our Daily Bread Designs sketch challenge.

The image in the circle is one of the adorable Tildy images. I only have a few but I like using them, they are fun to color and/or paper piece. I did both with her. It is difficult to tell but the tulip was stamped and colored twice, the second one was popped up. The sentiment is from an old SU stamp set.

Great Love: I John 3:18

Hello February - the month where hearts are everywhere. Every classroom at my school has hearts on the windows and hearts floating from the ceilings. The month of love. Welcome to another Sunday and another challenge at  Stampin' Sisters in Christ .

It is my week to have the honor and pleasure of being your challenge hostess. The scripture I chose for this week is I John 3:18.

"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."(New American Bible - St. Joseph Edition)

Please check the Stampin' Sisters in Christ page to read my full devotional. I wanted to share a little thought with you here too though. Do you see that cute little Tildy with her arms outstretched? That reminded me so much of when my children were little and they (and I) would stretch our arms out and say "I love you soooooo much". Wow - that was and is a powerful love! That is how much Jesus loves us - that is how he asks us to love others. Soooooooo much!

The challenge this week is to create a card or project that shows love without using words. I floated some hearts around the image that I had embossed on some vellum. I cut them out and popped them up. It is really a simple card although it really did take me a while to finish. I kept thinking it needed more - more embellishments - more color - more something. I was not happy with the picture but it is a dreary rainy day here today and this is the best I could get.

Our sponsor this week is Clear Dollar Stamps with a $15 gift certificate to spend on their stamps.
