Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge - Week # 53

Our challenge this week was to make something that represents what could be your life verse, a place where God has revealed to you that you can trust in Him, something representing a turning point in your life, or just focusing on Psalm 56:3. This is more of an open challenge, something that only you understand. I want you to be encouraged and remember those special "Jesus and me" moments when the Lord truly revealed Himself to you and praise Him for it.
So I used my favorite verse that I live by. Here is my card:



I hope you like what I have done for this challenge. See you next week !!!

Stampin' Sisters in Christ- Challenge #51

This week we was to create a card of apology or one reaching out to someone and encouraging them to put the past behind them and move forward. I used this stamp set from Our Daily Bread. The saying is from Mother Teresa - " God doesn't require us to succed, He only requires that you try" I feel that this saying says for us to do our best and it's okay with God if we didn't succeed and not to beat ourselves up about not succeeding.
