Hip HOP Hangover

Welcome! Did you go the the HOP yesterday? It was fun, and lots of prizes were given away; you should try it!


I have way too many scraps sitting in my scrap tray, so I created this card with what I had already cut. I wasn't sure when I cut the scallop circle if the negative would ever get used, but I put it in with my scraps anyway. Today it got used! =D

I love this stamp. There are so many names of God in the Bible, but each one of these is precious to me. I hope you are blessed by them, too.

And here's another Unity card - they've been keeping us busy over there with anniversary challenges! I made this card for their FIRST challenge. Each letter stands for something we had to include on our card in addition to the Unity image.

F is for flowers
I is for insect
R is for ribbon
S is for scallops
T is for turquoise or teal

I also entered this one in my first-ever entry to Three Clovers Designs Thursday Challenges. I really enjoyed working with one of the DCWV Old World stack papers for a Mother's Day card (you'll see that one on Sunday), so I decided to use some of the left over paper for this card. I also thought I wanted to use either black or kraft. Some friends on the Unity SCS forum suggested I use both, and I elected to use some Shimmerz on this card, too.

Thank you for coming by today. Have a super weekend!

Faith That Will Move Mountains

The scripture on this card has always been one of my favorites, and when I saw it at Unity Stamp Company's store, I knew I would have to buy it. There's something very reassuring and simple about this verse. The faith it refers to is not faith that I can move mountains, because I can never do that. It is only God who can work the miracles in our lives, but all we need is the tiniest bit of faith for Him to do just that. When I feel that I cannot possibly accomplish something, I only need to believe that HE can, and it will be done.

I made this card for this week's CPS challenge. It's clean and simple. I stamped my own background paper using one of the stamps from Unity's Gratitude = Joy set with Ranger ink. The scripture, Unity's Move Mountains stamp, was stamped in the same ink and matted.
