You're SNOW unique!

 Hi again!

Today is a day where I have two challenges over at Splitcoaststampers - 

it's a busy Saturday! :)

In addition to the Inspiration Saturday challenge,

I'm one of the hostesses for the VSN -

that's the Virtual Stamp Night

and the theme is Snow Globe!

 For my challenge for the Snow Globe VSN,

I chose "Snow Unique!"

Here's my challenge for those playing along!

 

  Snowflakes are a beautiful way to showcase winter and holiday cards. 

They say that in the molecular forming of a snowflake, 

no two snowflakes are alike and each one is unique! 

 So, for this challenge, we'll make cards that are 'snow unique'

 by showcasing a snowflake - a single one - on your card

 or project as a focal point!

 No other specifics for the challenge - any colors, added sentiments are all okay - so let's get the winter wonderland started 

 with a unique, single SNOWFLAKE card! 

 

For my card, I decided to break out some MFT stamps dienamics 

that I have had for a long time and never used -

a gorgeous set of snowflakes.

I paired it with a newer die - the striped horizontal dienamic.

I cut the cardstock panel and then ran in through my Gemini Jr

to create the spaces, 

and simply lined the underneath with a gorgeous, silver glittery dsp.

Simple yet so striking! 

For those playing along,

 You have until December 23 at 11:00 pm (EST) 

to do the challenges. It's not required to complete each one

but they sure are fun 

and I'd, of course, be delighted if you create a SNOW unique card!

Big hugs, bigger blessings!

Crafters of Faith: No Rock like Our God!

Hi friends!

I'm wishing you a happy start to your weekend :)

Today's card is one I  made for my Crafters of Faith card group

and I'm the hostess for January!

 A few years ago, my son gifted to me a small rock

 with a stained glass cross on the front. 

  It was some little token he purchased for me at his christian school

 during one of their fundraisers ~ saying he thought of me because it had a beautiful cross and the word FAITH on the front.  I melted!

 I keep this rock in my kitchen window and it has become a cornerstone of joy 

for me as I see it daily. It's a reminder to always remember what matters the most ~ the love of this child, the baton of faith passed on, and that this rock mantra gets me through the tough times, the happy moments and all the in-between!

I asked the group to create a card with a rock somewhere on the card ~

either stones, river rocks, mountains, river rock paper, ribbon, etc

 and the scripture 1 Samuel 2:2

 “There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; 

there is no Rock like our God."

As a Boy Scout, my son camps quite a bit,

including several trips to the mountains!

There has even been snow ~

with skiing and snowboarding!

I thought of him as I created a card with snow-capped mountains

and a camping bear, using stamps and dies from My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!

 Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
