Word Art Wednesday - Blessings with Stamp Simply

Hello Delightful Friends!

Well it's officially Autumn and my favorite time of the year, we get to see all the gorgeous fall colors and enjoy the cooler weather.  What a masterpiece every Fall brings! Not to mention everything pumpkin and spice 💗

Today is our Word Art Wednesday Challenge and we have a wonderful sponsor who has been so faithful each year!  Stamp Simply has a wonderful line of stamps, dies and accessories = Keep it Simple - Make it Pretty is their theme! Hope you'll play along in our Anything Goes - Family Friendly challenge that lasts two weeks and you can upload your new creations (5 new each week) for a chance to win the prize!  Check it out HERE.

Today I am sharing a card that will show appreciation for Pastors and Ministers, October is traditionally Pastor Appreciation Month and this goes right along with our Scripture Art from Romans 10.

Here is my card using the Stamp Simply set called "Wreaths" (Christmas & Fall) and coordinating Die, the word Blessing is one of the sentiments included in this set.  I've also used the Pastor & Ministry Appreciation Stamp set that includes many Scripture verses of encouragement. I've stamped using Versafine ink (Sepia) right onto the pineapple card stock and the honey card stock.  The jute rope is from Celebrate It.  Card stock: Pineapple, Toffee (card base) and Honey (Taylored Expressions) and the pattern paper is from my hug supply of fall paper scraps. 

Scripture Art at Word Art Wednesday (perfect for inside of the card!):

Thanks so much for visiting!  Have a blessed week.

Word Art Wednesday - Preserve Me O God

Hello Delightful Friends!

What a great prayer for today "Preserve me, O God, for in You do I put my trust" I'm so glad I can trust my Lord during our trying times.  As we are cocooning into our craft rooms this fall I'm sure prayer is intensifying for our families and nations as we keep our eyes on Jesus to give us strength to face whatever comes into our futures.  God is greater and He already knows, this helps me to keep faith strong.

Word Art Wednesday Challenge today is as always "Anything Goes - Family Friendly"  our sponsor is Newton's Nook ($20 in their store).  So many cute images to choose from if you are the winner!  Be sure and check their blog for inspiration, too!

Here is my card today: 

These are the ingredients:

Stamp:  Simply Stamped Pumpkin/die set (Taylored Expressions

Ink: Candy Corn (TE)

Paper: Card stock - Sweet potato, Peapod (TE)

Designer Paper: Echo Park 6x6 "Fall"

Die: Stitched Scalloped Rectangle 

In hindsight, this Scripture Art would have been so cute with mason jars and "preserves".  💛

Praying in advance for those visiting my blog, that you may be encouraged and blessed.
