Christmas Flower
Today at the Tuesday Throwdown (TT10) challenge, we are having Christmas in July, so I made a Christmas card. I have to tell you that I CASEd this from my friend Becky, because I just fell in love with it. I made a couple of little changes to it, such as adding the stick pin and changing the sentiment, but that's it. It's a very clean and simple card that is just beautiful. Our sponsor today is CSN Lighting with the prize being a $50 gift certificate, so you will definitely want to play along with us today. We would love to see you and what you create for this challenge, and ask that you stop by to see what we all made for the challenge as well. Thank you for coming to my blog and I pray that you have a very blessed day. Today's Treasure: Luke 2:11.

A very happy Monday to you and I have a very cool and retro card to share with you for my Paper Maniac Inspirations design team assignment this week where we are celebrating Friendship Day on August 1. We're still in the middle of our Summer Spectacular Savings with products moving out as fast as new products are coming in. If you've had your eye on something, now is the time to pick it up at the Paper Maniac Store.
With my card today, I made my own designer paper by using one of the larger stamps from Unity's Going Retro stamp set. We have a large selection of Unity Stamps, including the exclusive store July Kit of the Month, past and present. Here is my card that I'd like to share with you today. Thank you for stopping by and God bless! Today's Treasure: John 15:13.

Cherry Votive
We had an unusual assignment today at the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenges. Our sponsor is Karen's Doodles. We were to make a votive holder as our verse is Luke 8:16. You light up a votive candle and put this holder over it, and you can see the light through the cherry image. I thought to myself that there's no way I could pull this off as I don't do altered stuff very often or venture outside of the card arena, but it was actually quite easy. I used materials that I haven't used before, or in a long time. This project went perfectly along with our verse today of letting your light shine and I have to think, how often does my light shine and how bright is it? How about you? Let's all make it a point this week to really let Jesus shine through us. If you would like to make your own votive holder, here's a very simple tutorial that you can follow. There are so many possibilities as to how you can make yours look. Don't forget to share them with us! Thank you for stopping by today and God bless.

What’s Cooking?
Well, I'm going to give it my best shot at entering the Gina K. Designs Design Team Blog Hop where the chosen winner will be their guest designer for August. My chances are slim as there's always a ton of participants, but I can try. I've really been into the retro stuff lately and thought that this card might do the job, hopefully. The Stamp TV video I used for my project was Paper Piecing. It's such a fun and easy way to dress up a card by adding pattern, texture, and dimension. Thanks for stopping by today and God bless.
