Cindy Coutts Designs

Since today is Sunday, we all know it's time for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge. Today's challenge was to make a card without any stamped images, but just a sentiment. I chose Psalm 124:8. Our help is in the name of the Lord and that really caught my eye with this verse. I made this a masculine card. I guess I've been in that frame of mind lately with all of the Father's Day cards I've made this week, so rest assured that next week, I'll be back into the girlie stuff!

I pray that you had a very blessed day today.

Good afternoon and a happy Saturday to you! My mouth is healing very nicely and I thank you so much for your prayers. I'll be asking for them again in a few weeks when I have the same surgery on the right side.

I will be drawing names for the various prize giveaways I have here, at Christian Paper Crafts, and at Stampin' Up! With Cindy, as I do have to go through the entrants to make sure that the instructions were followed, and that is going to take a little bit of time with three giveaways all ending on the same date.

In the meantime, I wanted to share this card with you that covers six challenges! I think my record was 7 challenges in one card, but I've seen others cover 12 challenges with one card, which never ceases to amaze me. This is a card that should have been made last week as it is very patriotic, but I'm using it to reflect that somebody is a star in the Lord's eyes and how he will strengthen you. I will link the challenges to you below.

I hope and pray that you have a very blessed day. Today's Treasure: Ecclesiastes 12:9-14. Guard your ears against false prophets.
