Faith Verse Guest Designer

Greetings all. Peace be with you. Today I have the privilege to be guest designer for PurpleFuntastick Creations. The verse that I picked has spoken to me in the past two months. It is:


"You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light." ~Samuel 2:29~


I have to be honest, I could not decide which version of my page that I liked better. I put it to a vote and got various opinions; thus I am posting both versions. Here the are:

The reason this verse is so near to me is that for two months it feels like I am looking through a pinhole to see the little bit of light on the other side. Our family has experienced so much drama lately and it has been quite a lot to take. We have since had one deliverance and we keep praying for another. So, even in the darkness, the Lord has been my light. That is why I felt that the second layout was so appropriate. 


I pray that your day is blessed beyond measure. Should you feel that you are in a dark place, know that the Lord is there for you even if no one else is. You all are in my prayers. Until next time...

My project today is a Accordion card that I will have printed for my parents mantel as a Christmas Present. I have always been in love with the birth of our Savior and chose Matthew 2:1-2 as my verse. The birth of Jesus holds so much promise in our lives. It was a story of the coming of our King but also the anticipation of all that He was to do in His short ministry. I am so grateful for His birth and most importantly His resurrection. What a miracle! Here is a picture of my project:

I used Creative Memories digital software, Storybook Creator. If you would like to try this free for 30 days, please use the link and email me with any questions :) Here is the image of some of the accordion images available:

Guest Designer: Faith Verse Group

Happy holidays all and welcome to my guest designer spot for Kari's Faith Verse Group. I wish that all my projects could come together this easily. The verse just spoke to me and I went from there. I chose Isaiah 40:31 which says "... those who hope in the LORD     will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles;     they will run and not grow weary,     they will walk and not be faint." Here is the layout I made:

On Eagle's Wings by Michael Joncas

I decided to go simple with this layout and used my Creative Memories Storybook Creator software. I love how I can take a picture file and make it opaque in the background. The song in the background is an old hymn from my Childhood, "On Eagles' Wings". The words that stand out for me are:

"And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,

Bear you on the breath of dawn,

Make you to shine like the sun,

And hold you in the palm of His Hand."

Even during our darkest hours, we can pray and feel Him raising us up. I cannot tell you how many times this has happened for me and I am so grateful for it. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. This includes raising a family without a job right now . I thank Kari for having me as a Guest Designer today and pray that all is well in your neck of the woods. Please stop be her blog HERE and bless her as well.  May you be blessed today and always. Until next time....
