Word Art Wednesday - Psalm 126:3

The Lord hath done great things for us; 

whereof we are glad. 

Psalm 126:3

 (read the full chapter here)

I am so happy to be here to share our Word Art Wednesday Challenge # 178 with you. 

I am so glad she chose this verse for this weeks challenge. 

God has been so good to us! He does GREAT things daily, 

if only we will open our eyes to see them. 

He is waiting for us to reach out to him, to call upon him, to talk to him....

He wants to show us how much he loves us and to prove himself strong in our lives...

we just have to open up our lives TO him first. 

The past weeks have been sort of like a roller coaster ride. 

I won't go into detail, but I have been PRAYING and BELIEVING God for 

a healing over someone who is one of the most important people in my life. 

My husband has been over stressed about work. 

And there are a  few other things going on... 

The devil loves to attack and attack HARD when he does. 

But when we stand up and TRUST God and know that he 

has and will do great things for ((us))... for our loved ones... 

we just get to stand back and watch him work and move and Praise and Thank him for it.

I have to apologize to my WAW team for getting this card in so late. 

I will not make excuses. It is late regardless.... and I am truly sorry. 

I can't think of a better team to be a part of than the WAW team and consider myself 

so blessed to be able to work with such an amazing group of God fearing women. 

I do hope you all have a wonderfully blessed week. 

Thank you for stopping by and visiting with me.

5 Days of Christmas Digi Release Day COUNTDOWN ... 3

... there are only 3 days left until we release LOTS and LOTS 

of new Christmas themed digital stamps at Fresh Brewed Designs. 

To get us all excited and in the Christmas mood, I am going to do a 

few count down posts! 

This first Christmas card features our sweet little rubber stamp:

Cutie Pie  Ice Skating

and the digital stamp:

Joy Christmas Trees

I was inspired by a few different challenges at SCS

Sketch Challenge #511

and

Ways to Use It #502: Emboss 2 ways (heat and dry)

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss my blue ice lake. 

I then sponged white pigment ink over the swirls and sprinkled Ranger embossing

powder in seafoam white over that. The edge of the ice is embossed with stampendous frantage shabby white embossing powder. The trim of her clothes was painted with Crystal Stickles. 

I used the JOY CHRISTMAS TREES digital stamp as my background paper. 

I used a pen and extended the line from the digi and added a few doodle circles to mimic

the snow already on the joy image. I then outlined the snow and trees with a light blue marker.

Joy - New Digi at Fresh Brewed Designs

Hello 

So happy to have you visiting with me today. 

I am back again today with another card I created for our 

NEW DIGI RELEASE that went live yesterday morning. 

(If you missed all of the DT cards, be sure to go HERE and check them out.)

This card features the new digi:

JOY - Christmas Trees

I kept this card clean and simple. 

I printed the image on Papertrey Inc paper because it is thick 

enough to use and pop without having to add a border around the image. 

I drew little snow dots to mimic those in the image and added stardust stickles to all of the snow. 

The pink paper is from my scrap pile. It is also from papertrey inc. 

The image is colored using prismacolor markers
