A Faith Perspective Blog Hop!!!!!!

Welcome to Scrapbook News and Review Magazine's A Faith Perspective Thankful for Friends Faith Blog Hop. Today, we're out in force on the internet -- showing our faith and giving the glory to God. United, we stand as Christian paper crafters and blog owners to make a presence on the internet for all to see. We're celebrating the theme of friends and we're happy to share our projects with you based on the verse:

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. " Ecc4:9-10a

I created the card below for a dear, dear friend. She lost her third baby this week. I am so thankful she has been my friend and that I have someone to share my walk through grief. But I am just heartbroken for her and her family. Their faith is strong and they will make it through this, but any and all prayers are appreciated.

I am thankful I was able to work with Layers of Color as a Guest Designer! The cross stamps are from them and can be found here!

So, here are my 2 latest cards using the Gothic Crosses!!!

On this card I decided to use three of the big crosses in the set!

I even went ahead and finished the inside and added another cross stamp!

This is a tri-fold card and the photos don't show that well. There are two holes in the center that show the stamp I used!!!

I used my green glitter with the stamp this time!!! Oh so fun!!!

Here is Kennedy demonstrating how to open the card!!!!

Layers of Color & Fun News!

Didn't I tell you I was in an altering mood?? Well, I did a fast altering project this week! I was running out of room in my current journal I use for church. I had purchased an alterable journal at Archivers months ago, just knowing I was going to use it for this purpose eventually!

I used one of the crosses from Layers of Color's Gothic Crosses set. I love them all!!! But for this I chose one of the larger ones. I used some of my all time favorite My Mind's Eye papers as well as some Doodlebug letter stickers and October Afternoon rub ons. Don't forget that Layers of Color is having a HUGE Release Party November 14-15! You can find out more details HERE!

I also have some fun scrappy news to share!!! I have been selected to work with some amazing scrappers as contributing artists to Pam Callaghan's blog Ideas for Scrapbookers! You can see the announcement HERE! The other artists are:
