Praise Him

Hello friends!  Today I am sharing on the Creative Worship Blog and thought I would share here as well.

Inspirational Nugget:  How many ways can you think of to praise the Lord?  Psalm 150 lists several ways to praise the Lord, but you can probably think of more.  Praising the Lord invites His presence into our circumstances AND in His presence is fullness of joy…doubt, worries, and fear flee!  Chains and bonds are broken just as they were for Paul and Silas.  No matter what you are going through, the Lord is worthy of praise…
                               "His grace saves us,
                                        His mercy spares us,
                                               and His love pardons us!"

(from a morning and evening devotional)

Creative Nugget:  I've been wanting to try using Color Burst pigment powders on a Bible Journaling page and finally decided to just do it!  I did prep the page three times with Dina Wakley Clear Gesso since the page was going to get pretty wet.  First a section of the page was masked off so the music background from the new Music to My Ears stamp set could be clear embossed in the middle.  Then the magic…sprinkle on the powders (I used yellow, tangerine, fuchsia, and crimson) and squirt with water.  A roll of paper towels helped to soak up the extra water and each color was dried before applying the next color.  There was NO bleed through!  A little sponging helped the embossing show up a little better.  Elements from the I Am Loved, Seek Him, and Note This stamp sets were added to the page along with some hand lettering and a few more notes from the Music to My Ears stamp set.

Here are the stamp sets from the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store used for this page:

"Guard your heart from fear at night by singing praises to your King!"

Thanks so much for stopping by…

How's it Growing?

Hello friends!  How's it growing where you are?  With all of the rain we've been having, everything has been growing…FAST…especially the grass.  Time to mow again!  LOL!  Hope your week got off to a good start.  Just popping in to share a quick card made with a new stamp set released by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

Creative Nugget:  Winnie is back with a darling new stamp set called Winnie's Garden.  The TH rays stencil was used to sponge on the sun rays on the background.  A piece of flowery DP was stitched across the bottom to ground the images.  Winnie and the little flower were colored with Copic Markers.

Today is also my day to share on the SNSS Creative Worship Blog so I thought I'd share here as well.  The challenge this week in the Creative Worship Bible Journaling Facebook Group is to do a page in the book of Proverbs.  

Inspirational Nugget:  The wisdom in the book of Proverbs is so profound and perfect for navigating all the issues of this life…relationships, finances, family, the way we spend our time, our conduct…everything, but apart from God there can be no wisdom!  I need to seek His wisdom every day!

The products used on these projects can be found at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store:
