Happiness Abounds Bouquet of Flowers-Make It Monday #64

Make it Monday Videos / July 4, 2022

It might just be my imagination, but the weeks seemed to be going by quicker and quicker. I remember when I was younger and days seemed to go by so slowly. I guess now that I can choose crafting over chores, the days just fly by. I hope you are all having a great holiday weekend and I guess I should have prepared a Let Freedom Ring video for today, but alas, I did not.

However, it is SALE-A-BRATION time and that is a great reason to celebrate with fireworks because for every $50 you spend during the months of July and August, you will earn a free stamp set, paper or some bling. Click on the catalog below to see all the goodies you can earn free this summer.

Today I chose to feature the new Happiness Abounds Bundle featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog. I also showcased this bundle in my free card tutorial for my July Newsletter, same set but different card. CLICK HERE to sign up for my monthly newsletter.

Called to a Mission of Discipleship-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom / July 3, 2022

The Lord speaks to us all in so many different ways, including through Scripture readings. Today’s gospel is about spreading the Good News of Jesus and in doing so we plant seeds that only the Lord can harvest.

When the 72 were sent out to every town and place, they were given specific instructions on how to offer Christ’s love, peace and healing, but also warned that some may not be ready to hear what they have to say. It all comes down to discipleship and even today, we are all called to be part of this mission.

Every time you offer forgiveness to someone, you share Christ’s love and mercy and you dispel the darkness. Every time you reach out to someone in need, you show Christ’s compassion and generosity and you dispel the darkness. Every time you share the truth about God’s love you give hope and yes, you dispel the darkness.

Sharing the love truth about God’s love and mercy is what we are called to do and when we trust, the Lord will do the rest. Lord Jesus, empowered by your triumph over the cross, we praise you and share in your victory in silencing the “father of all lies.”

Garden Birdhouses-Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday / June 28, 2022

If you like birdwatching you are going to love this sweet set. My parents have several birdhouses and feeders in their yard and they are a lot of fun to watch, but boy can they eat. While my mom was recovering from her chemo treatments, she loved watching the birds build their nests. I have to admit, it is quite fastinating.

Today’s card features two sweet birdhouses. I stamped each birdhouse and the birds on white cardstock, colored them with some Stampin’ Blends markers and then fussy cut them with some paper snips. The leaves and the greeting are stamped directly to the Basic White card front panel.

Basic White CS – 5½ by 8½ (card base)
