Love Demonstrated - Word Art Wednesday

Hello Delightful Friends and Family!

Hard to believe that February is almost behind us!  Wasn't it just Christmas?  Oh my, I find myself counting the days to Spring, perhaps that is why time is going so fast! 😜 I think I need to just enjoy the moment! Speaking of enjoying the moment, it's time to share a card for Word Art Wednesday! 

I had fun with this digital image (Simple Wisdom) from designer/owner Gracie Chavez of Graciellie Designs who happens to be our sponsor this challenge.  Be sure and check out here Etsy store HERE and Gracie Chavez's blog that has really good tutorials and lots of fun inspiration!

I've colored this image from Simple Wisdom with Prismacolor pencils. The pattern paper is from the 6x6 pad Beau Jardin (Penny Black) cut 4 x 5.25".  I've used a white card base (A2) and added a gray card stock layer.  The Scripture Art was printed on Neenah bright white 80# card stock and cut out using a Lawn Fawn die.  I fussy cut the image and popped it up using dimensional dots.

The Scripture today is from Romans 5:8 and is one of my favorite scriptures. I think I like the NKJV a little better, it says "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." It's sometimes hard to understand how much the Father loves us but here in this verse it says He demonstrates His own love toward us...  The cross is the ultimate demonstration of God's love for us, let that sink in!  We are so undeserving of His love but it was God's way to show us His love and goodness toward us. We are saved from His wrath and get to experience grace, undeserved favor! Read all of chapter 5 of Romans, it will be such an encouragement to you.

Thanks so much for visiting and be blessed!

Above All These Things - Word Art Wednesday

Hello Delightful friends and family!

Hope you have a lovely Valentines Day.  I still need to make 4 simple cards for the grandkids before 3p.m.  Thankfully I have all my supplies out ready to go and some card ideas in mind. Isn't that the biggest issue trying to decide which design to use, there are so many running through my mind! I don't think we will be doing anything special due to the fact my husband has Men's Ministry tonight and I know he didn't think of it! Which works out because I've come down with some yucky bug! 

Here is this weeks card for our Word Art Wednesday Challenge be sure and link up with us.  I was blessed with the stamp set (here is the link) "Thinking of You Rose" from our sponsor Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  Thanks so much to Sharon Johnson the Designer/Owner.

This stamp set has 4 Scriptures and 5 lovely sentiments.  I masked the rose and stamped it twice, colored it with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils then, fussy cut it out. I love pairing red with black so I found this paper that I've been hoarding holding on to for a while. I did add little dew drops using the Nuvo Jewel drops and then a couple of red rhinestones to embellish.  I look forward to coloring this rose again!

Here is our Scripture art for this challenge that you can download and use if you'd like. You can link up to 5 Family Friendly Anything Goes project and the challenge is open for 2 weeks!

 When I think of the enormous price that was paid for me through the death of our Savior Jesus Christ I should gladly put on charity or love because it perfectly fulfills what God requires of me in any relationship (do I always...no).  If you have time, read all of Colossians 3, it is a real check list for us as believers in how we should live righteously in Christ.  We are complete in Christ Jesus and He is the bond that hold us together! I am so glad to serve the risen Lord!

Have a blessed day and thanks for visiting. Don't forget to visit our sponsor and link up with us at Word Art Wednesday.
