SSIC Handmade

This week I am honoured to be the Hostess for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge.

  I have chosen a well known scripture from Psalms:

 

 

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.  Psalms 139:14

 

 

 

 

My challenge is to create a project with something handmade on it - could be a flower, stitching, patterned paper - show us your creativity!

 

 

I have used the Our Daily Bread Designs Butterly Corner Stamp, stamping it in Black StazOn and colouring the image using the Crayon Resist technique using Distressing Inks and daubers.  A second butterfly has been stamped, coloured and popped up on foam tape.  The bling is from Want2Scrap.

 

The sentiment on the tag is from the Our Daily Bread Designs God's Love stamp set.  You can also see the machine sewing on my tag - I don't usually sew on cards but think I just might have to get the sewing machine out a little bit more often!

 

I have used the Spellbinders Classic Edges Two Edgeabilities  with the Classic Decorative Inserts One  for my lacy border on both the pocket and the tag.  My Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur.
‘Who am I?’ I never cease to be amazed by the inward battle that so many people seems to have on an ongoing basis, this is made even more apparent to me living in a household with three teenagers and surrounded by their peers. Social Media is an amazing thing, it is also very eye opening.....

 

It is very clear in God's Word that our identity, who we really are comes from God - it is He who created us, who formed us in our Mother's womb and knows every fibre of our being - He gives us our true identity! Who we really are is not determined by our parents, sibling or friends, it is not something we earn or can take credit for - our identity comes from God alone.

We are God's masterpiece. We have been knitted and woven together by God. I am made by God and that makes me God's masterpiece; everyone of us is God's masterpiece because we have been made by God.

‘Who am I?’ ‘What makes me, me?’ ‘What makes me special and unique?’ ‘What gives me value and worth?  Not the right group, or how we look, no amount of popularity, or money, designer clothing, grades, physical fitness, sports, job, title, position – none of this gives me value and worth.

 The answer: I am God's masterpiece fearfully and wonderfully knit together in my mother's womb, someone Jesus came for and died for.

When we understand this, then we are free to be who we are designed to be - children of the Most High God - a chosen priesthood, unique - God's Masterpiece!!
