SSIC Child's Play

It is great to see you for this week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge.  It is always a plus for my Sunday - I love the fact that it is a 'faith based' challenge and obviously by the number of you that are playing along each week - so do you!

This weeks challenge is brought to us by the 'every lovely' Miesje - who has chosen this scripture for us

"Amen I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God 

like a child will not enter it."

Luke 18:17

Miesje has challenged us to make a card/project for a child.

I know, Magnolia's are not normally my style, but when it comes to making a card for a child - well - what can I say!?  I also gave a card making lesson to my MIL's friend and she had purchased this Magnolia and wanted a colouring and card making lesson.

I have coloured Tilda with SU Chalks and a Blender Pen

Adding some flowers and some leaves - thanks to Martha Stewart.

A handmade flower is perfect for the base of the easel card, along with some smaller flowers, lace and pearls.  All DP has been embossed with the SU Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder - a favourite of mine - it is not hard to see why is it!? 

This card is for the following Challenges:

This weeks scripture has a very clear message - keep it simple!  So often we analyse and look at theology,  trying to find deeper meaning to scripture and spiritual things, when God tells us in His Word that whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.

It would seem that in our search for the 'meaning of life' and deeper spiritual things, we lose the simplicity of the Love of God.  Jesus always kept it simple, yes there are deeper truths in the Word of God, treasures for us to discover, but the message of the Bible in its entirety is simple and we need to have childlike faith, keeping it simple and accepting it simply.

Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!!  Your encouragement is such a blessing for me  - it makes my day! I am recovering well, my eye is great but it takes time to fine tune and adjust.  I am able to create (thankfully) but my computer time is till limited due to glare and of course my other eye is desperately in need of surgery - not long now and I will be back with better vision than EVA!!   Sadly, I have not been able to get to all of the cards you have been entering into the challenge - but I will be there shortly.  Thank you for your prayers and the lovely comments you have been leaving me - I  am so blessed by each of you!! God bless you!
