Faithbooking Psalm 139: 9-10

A couple of years back I became very ill and I began to think about all of those things I always intended to do, but had put off. One of my greatest worries was that I had not told my children how great God is. So, I decided to make a Faith Book to witness to a loving God who never abandons us.

Below are 2 pages that were inspired by scripture and the wonderful Designer Series Paper, Nautical Expedition. The paper is in the Summer Mini Catalog.

I am so sorry the company did not carry the DSP Nautical Expedition forward into the new big catalog. So, if you are like me and you have fallen in love with this paper you need to order it before the end of August .

Remember, you are always in His care!

Blossom Bouquet Card

In addition to making this card for a friend, I had two goals. First, try out the new Blossom Bouquet Punch and, secondly, use up some of my scraps of paper. That is what is great about punches. They allow you to use those small pieces of left over paper to create additional elements for your card design.

The Open Sea Thank You

I hope all of you had a wonderful 4th of July. My family participated in our community's parade. Our veterans were being honored. So, my husband rode in the parade and the rest of the family cheered him on from the sidelines.

I cannot believe how many thank you cards I need to mail out! I am always behind. I need to start making them in massive amounts and have them on hand. The one below was made for the director of the Museum of the Pacific War. He helped my granddaughter with a school project.

On The Grow Thank You Card

The Summer Mini Catalog is full of what I think are great deals. For example, the stamp set on The Grow has 4 separate stamps that can work in all kinds of combinations for the low cost of $11.95 for the clear mounted or $ 15.95 for a wood mounted set. This means that the cost of each is either $2.98- $3.99 per stamp.

In addition, this set is just FUN.

Materials:

Paper Pink Pirouette - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" , Crumb Cake 4 1/4" x 2 3/4", Whisper White - 4" x 2 1/2".
