SSIC LOC The Lord Bless You

This weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ is brought to us by the wonderful Traci Major.
This weeks Scripture is:

"Give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." ESV
1 Thessalonians 5:18 
 


Traci has challenged us to create a card or project that depicts gratitude...it can be an image of something you are grateful for, a scripture that evokes your gratitude, or it can be a card made especially for a person you would like to thank this time of year!!


I have used am image from one of the Layers of Color New Release clear art stamp sets

This sentiment is one of my favourites - it is such a blessing to have it as a stamp - there are so many occasions I can think of to use it. It has been cut out using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and the Labels Fourteen Nestibilitie and Labels Ten


The butterfly is from another Layers of Color New Release set, the Fairy Wishes clear art stamp set, it has been cut out and popped up on foam tape.

I love this scripture and am grateful for the blessing of God that He pours out so freely. So often we forget to express our gratitude, not intentionally, but just get caught up in life and all that comes with it in our lives...I often think about the ten lepers that were healed - I am sure they were all excited and so happy, but only one returned to say thank you Lord.....

I pray that each of us will be mindful of all He is and all He does for  us - forget NOT His benefits!
  
This card is for the following challenges:
2 Sisters - Anything Goes
Stamp, Scrap and Doodle - Thank you (Thanksgiving)
Challenge Up Your Life - Friendship
Fussy and Fancy - be thankful and feature a sentiment
Inspire Me Fridays - always anything goes Something Old, Something New (Old DP, new image)
Just For Fun - Your Favourite Colour

  7. A Beautiful card for a Beautiful scripture, Linda. The soft colors depict so well the tender hearted nature of our Father, the way He 'cuddles' and 'snuggles' us, just as a father does his little toddler. That's the picture I get in my mind when I read this scripture.
    You've done a wonderful job, as always, my friend!! What a blessing it is to so many of us that your heart is also tender toward the Father. ((hugs))
