Sonshine Stamp Co: God's Characteristics/Attributes [part 2]

Hello, friends:)

**Click HERE for the Paper Smooches September blog hop, reveal, and GIVEAWAY! Deadline to enter is tonight! 

Today is my day to post and share on the Sonshine Stamp Co. blog HERE. 

I am continuing to add more page decorations and journaling for my "mini-series" all about God's characteristics, attributes, and names. Three of these pages came from my study of James MacDonald's book, Gripped by the Greatness of God----- I highly recommend this book! I'm only on chapter 3 so that's why I only have three bible pages done:)  

I hope you join me by clicking HERE to read all about my bible journaling pages. Here's a sneak peek...

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be sharing more soon:) Be blessed!

I'm *STILL* in the process of moving- my studio won't be completed until after the first week in September when my cabinets will be installed. I CANNNNNNNNNNNOT wait! 

I created a very simple halloween themed card using the NEW Halloween Sampler stamp set, along with many other PS stamps/dies. ***So this card looks simple, but it took me almost 4 hours to make because I have everything in boxes! I thought writing out what was in each box was helpful... and it was... but I should have made an extra box for all of my "go-to" supplies so it was easier to create projects while I wait for my studio to be completed! OY! Next time---- wait! There better not be a next time for moving! LOL! 

I used some of my very old Carta Bella All Hallow's Eve papers and stickers for this project. I like the muted halloween colors and designs. I love that this Cozy Coffee die was made into a dangerous brew! Other PS stamps/dies include: Ahoy Me Hearty and Butterfly Duet. 

Be sure to stop by the PS blog for details about this blog hop and giveaway! And don't forget to leave some love on the DT's blogs:) 

That's it for me today- THANK YOU so much for stopping by! Be blessed! 

Sonshine Stamp Co.: Psalm 119:103 Sweet Words To Taste

Hello, friends:)

Today is my day to post and share on the Sonshine Stamp Co. blog HERE. 

I hope you join me by clicking HERE to read all about my bible journaling page. I designed a page about "sweet treats" and how "the Word is sweet to my taste". It's all about how I want to hunger for His Word and not crave the sweet treats that my body wants. I'm trying to break the food addiction that I have [see THIS post for more details on my food addiction]. Here's a sneak peek...

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be sharing more soon:) Be blessed! 

CardMaker Magazine + CAS-Fridays blog hop

Hello, friends! 

I'm so excited to be participating today in a blog hop with the CardMaker Magazine blog team featuring CAS-Fridays Stamps. You should have arrived here today from Jeanne J's blog. 

I used the stamp set Flower Power for my card today. I created a fun pop of color in the white embossed sentiment by adding some of my Gansai watercolor inks. I was inspired by a window display at a Starbucks shop in the mall. I'm telling you, inspiration is EVERYWHERE:) I stamped one of the smaller flowers from the Daisy Chain set to create the little leaves as an accent for some of the colored flowers on individual letters. To complete the card, I added some hearts and thread. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! 

***GIVEAWAY***
Click HERE for more details on how to enter to win the hop prize! CAS-ual Fridays Stamps is hosting 4 giveaways on their blog worth over $40 each!! Visit their blog for more details. 

Your next stop is the fabulous Kimberly R's!
