Inspiration, God's Way

These are a few of the over 100 Thank You gifts for the CT Ladies Day I made.  The theme for the day was "Singing In The Rain".  The scripture on the back of each favor was from Isaiah 43, 

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.  When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.  When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.  For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."

I was so encouraged by everything, the singing, lessons, skits, prayers and just seeing God working through all the "storms and rainy" times in each of our lives and knowing He is covering us with His "umbrella" was so uplifting!  Learning how to "sing in the rain" is one of the hardest things but one of God's blessings because only after the rain do we experience His beauty!  I love the song by Mercy Me, "Bring The Rain", part of the lyrics are,

"Bring me joy, bring me peace

Bring the chance to be free

Bring me anything that brings your glory

And I know there'll be days

When this life brings me pain

But if that's what it takes to praise You Jesus, 

Bring the Rain"

At the end of the day we all sang that song and I could not help but think, ok God, bring the rain, bring the rain...

God is good, all the time!

Thanks! MoJo84

Wow! 2 Cards in ONE day!  I guess the MoJo is really flying.  Font of You is a beautiful set with so many options.   This card and the colors just make me feel happy looking at it.  I started with a Whisper White card base then added Tempting Turquoise and some of Apricot Appeal DSP from the Level 1 Hostess benefits.  Lovely Lilac was used for the Scallop Circle and as a base for the main image.  Green Galore was used as the vase with embossing to give it some shine and dimension.  Perfect Plum ink is the flowers and some Green Galore brads finishes off this card.  Oh, Whisper White grosgrain ribbon with a bow to the side.  Thanks for looking, btw, the Son is still shining here!!

Spring!!

Color Inspiration #50!  I just love a challenge!  This week the challenge at KWERNER was to use the colors above with NO additional colors and you HAD to use all the colors in your card.  Well, I accomplished the challenge but I struggled to get them to work for me!  I made this card with someone in mind who needs some encourgement and a pick- me-up.  Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a blessed day and I pray the Son is shinning where you are! 

My colors in this card are:

Tempting Turquouise, Chocolate Chip, Barely Banana, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White

My Stamps are:

Blooming with Love

The Ink I used is:

Chocolate Chip, YoYo Yellow

Friendship-MoJo82

I made this card with a friend  in mind.  Do you have a friend who knows just what to say and says it at the right time?  Well, I have that kind of friend.  She has the Light of The Lord in her and she shines it brightly.  We get together to pray each week and it is one day I really look forward to.  I know that God is there for me, but sometimes we need a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on.  I pray everyone who stops by my blog will be blessed in their lives with such a friend.  May God bless you today!

Oh yeah,  these are the colors in the card:

Certainly Celery, Lavendar Lace, Whisper White, Bella Rose dsp.  Blooming with Love stamp set and Rub-On from "Loop To Loop"

Another Mother's Day Card

Color Inspiration #47 at  KWERNERDESIGN.COM  I just fell in love with this color combo and wanted to give it a try.  From my previous post today you'll know that I just got the "Blooming With Love" stamp set.  I also picked up the new Parisian Breeze Specialty paper.  This new paper is a heavier weight and also it's textured.  The paper comes double sided so you have a lot of choices.  I tried the Crystal Effects on the wheel barrow but I think I could have done more coats, maybe next time.  Thanks for coming over, have a blessed day!

I just went to post my link and well....it's closed!  I missed the deadline...oh well, it was still fun!!! I'll try the challenge for next week-lol!!

Happy Mother's Day MoJo81

My MoJo for this week is the "Blooming With Love" stamp set.  I love the delicate lines of each stamp and coloring them in was such fun.  I used:

stamps:  Blooming With Love

paper:  Very Vanilla cs, Bella Rose dsp, Pretty In Pink cs

ink:  Chocolate Chip, various markers

accessories:  Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon, blender pen, paper piercing, dimensionals

Thank you for stopping by, have a blessed day!

Happiness is...MoJo80

Happy April Fools!  

 MoJo on Wednesday! 

 This is my take on the sketch.  I wanted to use "happy" colors and the Apricot Appeal was the perfect choice.  I love the Level 1 paper pack because you get a good variety of patterned paper.  The vase was stamped on Whisper White with Perfect Plum ink then cut out and Crystal Effects were applied.  A dimensional popped it up and some Dazzling Diamonds added a little sparkle to the flowers.  The rest of the recipe is:

Stamps:  Font of You

Paper:  Lavender Lace, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Whisper White cs, Appricot Appeal DSP

Ink: Perfect Plum

Accessories:  Markers, Dazzling Diamonds, Whisper White ribbon, Punches, Crystal Effects

Thanks for stopping by, Have a blessed day!
