Scripture Challenge

I'm trying to keep up with Patter at Triple the Scraps with her Scripture Challenge that posts every other Sunday.  You would think I could since it is only every other week, but things have been a bit crazy around here!

This week her word is "Quiet".  I thought about what kind of places I enjoy the quiet and nearness of God, and it has to be in Canada at our family cabin in the woods just feet from the lake.  There is no place in the world where I feel more at peace.  It is so good for my soul.  The world melts away when I am there.  I don't care about being connected to the internet, world news, or cell phone coverage.  Here is where I can commune with God in his beautiful creation.

I decided to do a digital layout for this week because I  wanted to illustrate that peace, and the only way to showcase that is through a photo from Canada.

This scripture is such a great reminder of what God sees when he looks at us.  It is not our outward appearance, but our inner spirit and gentleness that he holds dear.

Scripture Challenge - Follow

Patter over at Triple the Scraps offered up the word "Follow" on her Scripture Challenge this week.  I chose the verse John 8:12: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."  I find great comfort in the words "never walk in darkness".  Light gives life.  Christ is light and life.  What more can I hope or ask of my Savior?

 

For anyone who is still looking for a stand for your 6x6 pages, my husband and I have made a few and I have them listed in my Etsy shop here. 

Scripture Challenge

The word for this week's Scripture Challenge through Triple the Scraps is "Home".  After reading many of the scripture containing that word, I always came back to the eternal hope found in John 14:2, that Jesus is away preparing a place for us in his Heavenly Home.  It just doesn't get any better than that!!  Eternity in heaven with my Savior.

 

So here is my page.  I used my new Make the Cut software with the Cricut to cut the house shape from some paper by We R Memorykeepers.  I added some Stickles to the centers of the flowers.  I found this key charm in my stash to add a touch of whimsy.

Scripture Challenge - Abide

I found it interesting that in my NIV bible, the word for this week, abide- NEVER appears. It is like that word went extinct! I had to find my King James version to find some selections. I chose John 12:46 because of the reference to Christ being our light. As one who feels darkness through depression, the scriptures that remind us of the light of Christ always offers great encouragement.

 

My husband and I are making more of the 6x6 stands, so if you are interested in buying one for only $5, leave me a comment and we'll hook up!  

 

I'm linking to Triple the Scraps today for the Scripture Challenge.

Scripture Challenge - Hope

It has been a long time since I did any scrapbooking, so I decided I needed a challenge!  I found Triple the Scraps and decided to jump in with her challenges.  I think the time-table is every other week for a new word, so we'll see if I remember to share my work with you!

 

My husband was kind enough to help me build our own stand out of wood scraps he had around the garage.  It only took us about 15 minutes!  I am not usually patient enough for painting, so I cheated and just used spray paint!  :)
