Stamping In Time / Bible Verse Thursday Combo!
This week's Bible Verse Thursday Challenge at Christian Paper Crafts is based on this scripture:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
The challenge is to take inspiration from this verse, or create something which is lovely to you. My interpretation of 'lovely' is to use beautiful things such as these new cutting dies from Cheery Lynn Designs!! Along with the Bible Verse Thursday Challenge, I have used Gloria's Sketch Tuesday Challenge....perfect for a doily!!! Plus, this is my second entry in the Our Daily Bread designs Shining the Light Challenge....to use piercing on your project!!
Card 'Ingredients':
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs 'Friendship';
Cardstock: SU Taken With Teal and Whisper White;
Designer Paper: Basic Grey 'Hello Luscious';
Ink: SU Sahara Sand and Taken with Teal;
Accessories: Canadian Kaleidoscope and Exotic Butterfly dies by Cheery Lynn Designs, Want2Scrap Teal Rhinestones, May Arts Crocheted Ribbon, SU Grosgrain ribbon, paper piercer and template, and 'Pearl' Glimmer Mist;
Size: 5-1/2 square.
Thanks for stopping by today! God Bless!

This week we have a fabulous guest hostess, Becky Reed, who has challenged us to create any card, layout, or altered item using our favorite ODBD stamp set. Picking my favorite set was a challenge in itself, but since I use the Happy Birthday set more than any other, I used one of the scriptures as my focal point. The stamped frame is from Fancy Labels, stamped once in Pink Pirouette and once in Basic Gray (then cut out and popped up the center). The background is a brand new stamp which was released on June 1st.....it's called "Crocheted Background".

Bible Verse Thursday / ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge Combo!
'Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.' Proverbs 31:25-30

Bible Verse Thursday / Stamping in Time Challenge Combo!
Here are the deets for the Bible Verse Thursday Challenge:
"It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him." Lamentations 3:22-24
This week's Bible Verse Thursday Challenge theme is "Measure Up"! While creating your card, layout, altered item, or gift, think of different ways that we use "measurements"...we measure time (day, night, calendars, clocks, etc.), we measure ingredients while cooking, we measure our material when sewing, etc. Perhaps you could use a scripture which speaks of measurements...."my cup runneth over", or "the Lord is my portion", etc. We can't wait to see your take on the challenge! I have also incorporated last week's Wednesday Case Artist challenge...I couldn't pass up the opportunity to case one of sweet Lynn Ray's beautiful cards.....I chose this gorgeous card to re-create. Also, this week's Shining the Light Challenge at ODBD is all about new life/flowers/easter, etc......couldn't resist but incorporate it too!!!
Here is the "ingredients list" for my "Measure Up" sample:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs "Scripture Collection 5"
Cardstock: SU Marina Mist, Whisper White
Designer Paper: Memory Box "Minuet"
Ink: SU Marina Mist
Accessories: Flower Soft Card Topper, Ultrafine Flower Soft Raspberry Fizz and Sage, Original Flower Soft Baby Blue, Zva Creative Pearls, "Pearl" Glimmer Mist, May Arts Crocheted Lace and Satin Ribbon, Bow Easy, Paper Piercer and template
Techniques: Paper Piercing, Flower Soft
Here is a close-up view of the beautiful scripture verse surrounded with a Flower Soft bouquet:
