Word Art Wednesday #298-299 " I Shall Come Forth As Gold"

Hi, Y' all! 

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  There is just something special about making cards for Word Art Wednesday.  I've found that on more than one occasion the verse for the week really speaks to my heart, or seems to be just what I've needed to hear.  For example,   I've been going through some rough waters lately, so I began a Bible study that focuses on allowing God to use the trials in our lives to refine us and produce a faithful endurance in our hearts.   Then,  along comes the Word Art for this week's challenge...

How fitting is this verse?   Exactly what I need to be reminded of.   My God does not waste anything,  I know that even the trials of life are being used for my good, and are all part of His perfect plan. 

The verse served as the inspiration for all the gold accents on my card.   I heat embossed gold scroll accents to each corner and used a gold polka dot washi tape to adhere the vellum.  

The paper is once again from The Bohemian Vibes paper line that I purchased last time I went to Hobby Lobby. 

Lastly,  I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops in Raspberry Pink and a wood veneer heart which is so common to many of my projects.  I really like hearts. :)

Bohemian Card For Word Art Wednesday #296-297

Hi, Y'all!

I'm so excited to share my Word Art Wednesday card design with you!  I'm just really excited about this one.  You see, it isn't often that I buy new paper.  I've got plenty in my stash and even though most of the paper lines I own are at least 5 years old, I just can't justify spending the money on new paper.   However, when I saw The Paper Studio's new Bohemian Vibes paper line, I was smitten.  So, without further adieu, I'll just show you the first card I've made using this gorgeous paper line. 

Isn't it pretty?!  Get used to seeing lots from this paper line in the coming months, because I can't seem to get enough of it.   After last weeks card mishap, it felt good to get back into my crafty groove. :) 

Even the Word Art seemed to match the bohemian feel of this paper line.  And how much I love this verse, wow!  Just let it sink in, mull it over in your mind and tell me if it doesn't transform your thinking in some way.    God's word is amazing because God is amazing!

I invite you to join us at Word Art Wednesday, where the Word Art is free to use in your design and to enjoy meditating upon.   Remember, if you're on Instagram to tag your creations with #wawchallenge to be featured.

My Colorful, Crazy Card for Word Art Wednesday #294-295

Hi, Y'all!

I'm not sure what got into me today, but I must have been in a mood.  My card design for Word Art Wednesday is not my usual style.  You know, soft, pale colors, pinks, and blue hues.... I think I went a little crazy with the colors and the glue. 

I even took the pics differently.   I was really feeling it this morning, but hmmm, not so much now.  It just kind of looks like my craft room threw up onto my card base. bleh.   Oh-well, sometimes that's just how it goes in the craft room.  I feel like I should share some sort of metaphor for life here, but na...

I'm so glad that God is not moody and inconsistent like me.  I could never place my trust in a God who is like that.  

My God is Faithful, consistent, not ruled by moods or changing seasons.  His plans will be accomplished and His ways are perfect.  The best part is, I belong to this God!  This God sees me and hears me,  all because of what Jesus did on the cross for me and for anyone who desires to follow after Him. 

AWESOME!
