SSCC 46 O Beautiful For Spacious Skies

If it is Sunday then it is Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge time. Just where did this week go? Summer should never go fast I say with a big pout!! I am sure that most of you are having picnics and relaxing, I will too. As we do I pray we remember our challenge verse today. Our blessings as a country are a gift from God. It has conditions though and they are listed in this verse. Humble ourselves, pray, seek God, and turn from our wicked ways. Then He will forgive and heal our land. We so need healing. Thank you Chis, an amazing and talented artist for this awesome reminder this week.

Verse: 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.


Challenge:  Use red or blue on your creation.  It need not be patriotic.


For my card today I just had to use the new Our Daily Bread Designs set Our Daily Bread. I have always loved this song and to have it in a stamp is just delightful. I know that you have seen three samples of this stamp today but I just couldn't help myself. When I found this beautiful K&Co. paper in my stash with a map I was so ne-e-e-e-e-ding to make a card with it.  An ol' social studies teacher, maps, paper, glue, pearls, and punches....a perfect match. The challenge today is to use blue or red.  My blue is GKD Ocean Mist. I added a flourish of Pearls.  I found the secret to using these swirling beauties... it is buying pearls from Zva Creative!! WOW!!! What a difference. They went on like a dream. You can find them on the Our Daily Bread Designs web store. The kraft paper I used as the base and mat is a great buy at Michaels. I really like the color as it is more caramel than cardboard kraft. Love it.  


Our sponsor this week is Whimsy Haven. Stopping by the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge blog today will give you a wonderful tour of great examples of red and blue.  With this being a holiday weekend I know you will be busy but we would so love for you to join us.  


Today's Blessing: I have been counting my blessing lately and having this blog, being able to make cards is just a small part of my blessings. God is so good.

Thanks for stopping by on this busy weekend,
Randi
