SSCC Light- YNS Wedding Luminaria

6:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!! It is real hot here but we are enjoying it all the same. Today my dear daughter, Nicki, plays a duet in church with her piano teacher. I am happy, excited and nervous for her all at the same time. She also invited her grandparents (my husbands parents) and her aunt and uncle to come listen as well. Then we are going to have a family cookout. It should be a fun filled day!!

Well anywho...Today is Sunday and time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge. This week's challenge is the dear sweet and talented Peggysue. Peggysue has chosen the verse:
Luke 8:16 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light."

I hope that in all I do that I let my light shine and that others will know that I have been redeemed!! What joy this brings to know that I have Jesus right beside me in all I do in both the good times and the bad and that no matter what the outcome I will have eternal life and be with Him some day because He died for me!! What joy, what grace...There is no greater Joy that I would want to share. This is a joy I want to pass on to my children and for all those I love or come in contact with! This salvation is not a secret but something all should shout from the rooftops with.

Peggysue's challenge this week is:

Make a votive holder or a card/project depicting a candle. Here are two examples of what you can make: Votive Cover and tag votive holder. For my creation, I did not do either. I created a luminaria using Beate's tutorial on Splitcoast. It was easy and fun.

For my image I used Wedding Fiona from Your Next Stamp. I added lots of glitter to her veil, baubles to the top, and pearls to Fiona's dress.

The candle inside is battery operated (Much safer!!) This luminaria is part of a set to accompany this card.

OSSAT: Black and white and one other color

Papertake weekly: Cutie Patootie
