Do Whatever He Tells You-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom / January 16, 2022

In today’s gospel Jesus performs his first miracle which begins His public ministry and in doing so he teaches us and his disciples a lesson in great love and also magnifies powerful love of Mary our Mother.

Mary in her great love and gentleness tells the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.” Mary is concerned about the young couple and those at the wedding feast, not herself or her son. She shows her great love and concern for the needs of this young couple, just as she does for all of our needs, big and small. Jesus’ great love and obedience for his mother led him into ministry. This is why we can confidently call on our Mother Mary to intercede for us. To Jesus, through Mary!

Mary certainly gets the attention of the servants who have just filled six stone jars with water. I wonder who all of their lives were changed that day? Did you know that the number six signifies imperfections? Interesting how Jesus not only turns ordinary water into extraordinary wine and makes perfect those six stone jars. He not only transforms the water, but he transforms the jars. They turn from an ordinary instrument of daily work into a spring of joy.

Throughout marriage while sacrificing for one another our jars can become empty. We could allow them to become as hard as stone or we can allow Jesus to enter our hearts in order to bring love and forgiveness to one another. This will transform our jars and we will be filled with joy.

Mary is gently whispering to you, “Do whatever He tells you, Do whatever He asks you.” What is Jesus asking you to do? Will you empty yourself for Jesus and allow Him to turn your water into wine?

With the help of our Lord, ordinary tasks can become extraordinary. I pray that Jesus will fill you with His powerful love and mercy so that you can spread joy to those around you. Be blessed by friends!

Happy Friday-Flowing Flowers!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / January 14, 2022

Yay! It is Friday. I don’t know about you, but I am glad the weekend is here! The only bad thing about having time off from work during the holidays is how hard it is to get back into the swing of things again. I love working, but I also love staying home and crafting!!!

Today’s card features the Flowing Flowers set in the January-June mini catalog. I love the details in this stamp set. While the new is great, I am still in love with so many of the stamp sets in the annual catalog, so I used an oldie but goodie to pair with the flowers. Can you guess what stamp set it is?????

**Flowing Flowers page 36 January-June 2022**

I created the my own patterned paper using just one ink pad, Blackberry Bliss and a strip of Basic White CS (2 x 5¼). Ink “blotchy” looking stamps and stamp two times before re-inking to get the lighter image. Have you figured out, the set from the annual catalog?????? HINT: The “blotchy” looking stamps are from that set.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies for the greeting and the Layering Circle Dies for the flower. Yes, I fussy cut the flower and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adding it to the circles.

This really was a super simple card, but then clean and simple is one of my favorite things. Add this set to your collection. I know you will have fun creating with it. Our host code is: C77FJQM2. Thanks for shopping with me!

Oh yes, the mystery stamp set: Dressed to Impress on page 31 in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Just Because Cards / January 12, 2022

Today’s card was created with one of the new bundles in the January – June mini catalog, Sweet Conversations. It is the perfect set to celebrate love, not just Valentine’s Day, but anniversaries, weddings and more. My card today was created by my daughter Breanne while she was home for the holidays. I love the non-traditional colors and how she used one of the stamps to create her own patterned paper.

Supplies

Highland Heather CS- 5½ x 8½
Basic White CS-4 x 5¼ (optional), 1 x 5½, 4 x 4
Highland Heather Ink
Pear Pizzazz Ink
Blushing Bride Ink
Memento Black Ink
Sweet Conversations Bundle
Dress to Impress Stamp Set
Picture This Dies
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Stampin’ Adhesive/Liquid Glue
Stampin’ Dimensionals

Directions

Score card base in landscape position (aka longer side) at 4¼. Fold and burnish.
Stamp stripes in Pear Pizzazz, Highland Heather and Blushing Bride on strip of Basic White CS and attach to card front.
Stamp greeting from Dressed to Impress in Memento Black ink on card front.
Use the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine to crop Basic White circles with the Picture This Dies.
Next stamp heart in Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride and Highland Heather and attach to white circles using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add circles to the card front as shown.

I love Breanne’s card almost as much as I loved crafting with her. Thanks sweetie, you really are the best daughter ever and I’ll love you forever! Can’t wait to craft together again soon!
