I love the Cutest Halloween Bundle because it really is the cutest and if you pair it with the Frightful Tags Dies, it is a win, win! Here is the card I created for you today. I created the spooky night time look with a blending brush and some Memento Black ink. I just love these little dies. The ghost die is from the Festive and Bright Bundle! Have fun!
And here is a peek inside. I love these adorable owls! I am thinking Anniversary card! What do you think? I guess if you know someone who was married in the Fall, like maybe October 22nd! I may be bias but I do think Fall weddings are the best!
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Today I am sharing a technique with you on how to create your own background paper using a stamp from the Artistically Inked Bundle. This technique can be adapted to a variety of stamps, but I think the Artistically Ink set creates a wonderful marbleized background effect.
I stamped directly on my Basic White cardstock, but you could also use a high quality printer paper to create your own Designers Series paper.
The Delicate Dahlias set is a Sale-a-bration product and I am happy to say can be yours with a $100 order. But hurry, this offer ends on September 30, 2021. Our host code is HXMHZWQX-Happy Stamping!

In today’s gospel Jesus reminds us that He is always with us and that His ways are better than ours. All we have to do is trust in His Divine will. But being faithful and praying is not enough if we are not willing to put our faith into action.
St James is very clear that our works have great merit and are imperative to spreading the love of Christ. We know God calls us to care for our brothers and sisters who are in need and in doing so we respond to the love God has already placed on our hearts.
So today we ask the Lord to put the needs of his people on our hearts and for the grace and courage to respond.

The number one thing on my list when I first got the Sale-a-Bration brochure was the adorable Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper pack and yes, I also have the Penguin Place bundle from the July – December 2021 mini catalog, page 33. I just can’t help myself, I love all things Christmas and most especially cute little Christmas playmates.
This paper is so much fun to cut up and create stinkin’ cute cards! I posted a video on Monday as part of my Make it Monday videos tutorials on how to use the Stitched Rectangles and this adorable paper. Click hereif you missed that video. Check out my other videos by using the categories search located in the side bar of each post.
I started with a Soft Seafoam card base and added a layer of trees from the Penguin Playmates Designer Series paper pack. I tore a 3 x 4 panel of Basic White Cardstock in half and layered it on the DSP to resemble snow drifts. I then fussy cut some of the playmates with my Paper Snips and added them to the snow banks. Both greetings are from Evergreen Elegance.
Here is a look at the inside of my card! The white panel measures 4 x 5¼.

Anyone remember this great set? I was going through some old cards, organizing my craft space when found this gem in one of my boxes. It is just plain fun! I think this set would look “Fabulous” with the Pattern Party 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper in the annual catalog on page 171 or the Beautifully Penned 12 x 12 paper pack that is FREE with a $50 order. The Beautifully Penned paper is picture on page 7 in the Sale-a-Bration (SAB ) brochure.

Today’s gospel is about being open and the healing power of the Lord’s touch. When we open our hearts and our minds to the possibilities of loving one another more, our hearts are changed. Perhaps you are in need of physical healing today and so we pray for all those suffering with an illness and beg God for the mercy of healing.
All of us, whether we are great or small, rich or poor, influential, famous or unknown, God loves all of us equally, which is exactly what the Lord wanted to share with us in the gospel and readings today.
