COF "For the Men" meets Riley & Co "Texture!"

Howdy, Friends!

How's that for a catchy title?

LOL!

 

If you are here for the Riley and Company's Challenge,

or the

Carriers of Faith monthly post,

you're in the luck - they are one in the same!

Yes, my card is pulling double duty this time around --

sometimes we just get lucky that way ;)

 

For my Riley and Company post, I am the hostess this challenge -

HI! ♥

I chose the challenge to be one in which you can create a card/project

using 'Terrific Textures!'

 Mine is pretty obvious ~ I went with one of my FAVES of all time - burlap.

I love to work with this stuff!

I love feel, the smell, the memories it brings

of grand-dad's farm ~ counless burlap bags filled to the brim with peaches.

They lived on the property where the owners had huge orchards just

filled with acres and acres of peaches ... I can still visualize it.

I used the Riley and Company stamps "God's Got This"

which I LOVE!  Simple and to the point!

Indeed He does ♥

 

We'd be thrilled if you could play along with our challenge -

you can link up your cards in the challenge area

right here starting 6/10 :)

Also, for the Carriers of Faith, our hostess this month is Paula!

Her theme is this one:

Celebrate the Men in your life...
 

Challenge: I want you to create a card or gift for your father or a male figure who has been influential in your Christian life. Create multiple projects if you wish for more than one of those special men.
2. Give the project to that man or men that you hold dear to you. Celebrate these people on or before Father's Day!
3. Use any scripture you like on your project. Just make sure the scripture has a prominent place somewhere on your project and share a pic where you used the scripture.
4. Tell us why you chose this person or persons and how they played a part in your walk with Christ.
5. Explain why you chose a particular scripture on your project.

 

 

For me, Father's Day is one of the hardest days of the year.

I lost dad 7 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think of him

and he's not with me. 

My father and I were very close, as close as a parent and child could be

and his passing left a void in my heart.

I have so many wonderful memories of him and the man he was

before cancer riddled him of his mind and body

and hold fast to that to guide me through this journey of life ♥

 

Yes, I have a WONDERFUL and most incredible husband ~

and a fabulously crazy brother as well :)

But mostly, Father's Day tends to be raw, emotional ...

so this card was a reminder to myself that above all things,

we are never forsaken.

Truly .... GOD'S GOT THIS,

as with many things if we just seek him in refuge!

 

For my card inside, I added a sentiment that was computer

generated ~ one that brings me comfort over and over

and was fitting with the stamp .... Psalm 46:1.

 

Be sure to stop in and see what the rest of the COF sisters

have created this month - you can find them  listed

in my sidebar!

 

As Always,

Big Hugs, Bigger Blessings!
