Crafters of Faith ~ 1 John 4:12

Hi friends!

Today is a wonderful SON-day!
It's the first post for the Crafters of Faith,
and the giveaway winner

The COF is a crafty group that I formed on 
Splitcoaststampers with some dear friends ♥ 
Once a month we have a scripture based challenge
and make a card as a way to share our faith and friendship.





 Our hostess this month is Barb 
and I'm SO EXCITED that I'll actually be meeting her in 2 weeks , 
flying all the way up to her house for shenaningans a stamping retreat!
I've waited many (MANY!) years to meet her ~
so it's extra neat that she's our challenge host for January :)



Scripture: 1 John 4:12
No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another,
                                 God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
The challenge is to make a card or another creation  that describes
 how "we" love one another-- through friendship, trying times, music, holidays, etc. 

While I normally try to create a card with a faith based image
 or scripture for my COF cards, 
I just received a stamp order from Simon Says Stamps.
The second I saw this stamp set on release day, 
I just had to have it :)
I absolutely adore any stamps with puppies
or woodland creatures! ♥






 Since I already had a sentiment on the front of the card,
I didn't decorate the inside of this one.
Since the SSS challenge this week is *Anything New*,
I'll enter this into their challenge this week.

I'm excited to see what the other Crafters of Faith made 
with Barb's scripture and challenge!
But before I go check,
I have a winner to announce


By random.org selection, the winner is ......... #5

  8. Kelly, of course your stamp is adorable. And just like all these animals are different, each bond together as creatures of God, and bonded by His love and their love for one another. Sure to bring smiles.

  9. I'm sort of back Kelly and hope to post in the next couple of days!! I love the image on your card and it says to me, that no matter how different we are, there is no reason why we should not be friends. I hope you have a lovely time with your friend and is very exciting for you. Big hugs and blessings, Carol S.xxxx
