Jesus the Transformer-Sunday Wisdom!

2 Comments / Sunday Wisdom / March 5, 2023

In today’s gospel we reflect on Jesus’ transfiguration and perhaps we are able to see a glimpse of our own conversion. During this time of preparation for the resurrection of our Lord, we are invited to an inner change that can transform our lives completely.

So how do we do that? Well, the first step is to simply spend time walking with the Lord and allow Him to supply our every need. I know sometimes this is not always easy, but we all need to be changed. We all need to soften our hearts and lean on God just a little more. It is during the challenges and difficulties in life that we allow Jesus to transform our hearts.

Just like the apostles in today’s gospel, we too can have a mountain top experience. And if you have ever experienced that then you know we eventually have to come down from the mountain and pick up our cross, but the good news is we do so with Christ by our side. Then slowly as we come to “know, love and serve the Lord,” we grow in trust. We begin to open our hearts, our eyes and our ears to the one who renews our lives.

Mother Mary, pray for us. Jesus we trust in you.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Heart Punch Pack-Favorite Things Friday!

Thinking of You / March 3, 2023

Sometimes one of my favorite things is to reach for one of our punches because they always seem to be so quick and easy when creating a card on the go. The star of today’s card is the Heart Punch pack featured on page 153 in the annual catalog and the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper pack on page 134.

This paper pack features three of our gorgeous blues, Pacific Point, Night of Navy and the new In-Color Starry Sky. For my card base and scallop heart I used the Night of Navy cardstock. The greeting is from Peaceful Moments and is stamped with Night of Navy ink.

I hope wherever you are today that you will make some time to create something beautiful and bless someone with a hand-stamped card.

You Are Amazing-Amazing Thanks Dies!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Sale-a-Bration, Thinking of You / March 1, 2023

Thank you to all of you wonderful and loyal customers who placed an order during Sale-A-Bration. I hope you are enjoying your new toys and for those of you who just ordered yesterday, your toys will soon be on the way. I know many of you ordered the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper pack as your freebie so I thought I would share with you one last card that I created using this paper.

Yesterday I posted a card using the Fresh Freesia flowers (click here) so today’s card is using the Calypso Coral and Petal Pink floral. I used the dies from Amazing Thanks to create the greeting. I cut the sayings twice, one with Calypso Coral cardstock and once with Basic Black. I glued them together slightly off centered to create a shadow effect.

The card base is Calypso Coral and I added a piece of Basic Black (4-1/8 x 5-3/8) before adding my layer of DSP (3 ¾ x 5). I also added a piece of Basic White (4 x 5¼) inside so I can write a message. I plan to give this card to someone I met last weekend at church. She did such an amazing job reading scripture so I thought, this amazing woman deserves a special handmade card. I have to admit I don’t know her name, but I am sure she will appreciate the card just the same.

Thanks for stopping by and for placing an order. May God continue to bless you and inspire you to create something beautiful for someone this week.
