Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!!  It has been beautiful weather wise with less humidity. PHEW!  I hate sticky weather.

Anywho on this beautiful day, I would like to share the new Stampin in Sisters challenge this week.
This week's hostess is the uber talented Lisa.

Lisa chose the verse:

Philippians 3:13-14 "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

We all have our moments when we dwell on the past and are afraid to move on for one reason or another.  Maybe a friend hurt us and we are afraid to forgive and forget.  Maybe things were going so well for us and now we need to depend on God's help for each and every day.  Maybe there is something that God wants us to do that we are hesitant about and we are another Jonah. God encourages to keep moving and striving on to the greatest reward of all, our place in heaven.


The Challenge:   Make a card of apology or one reaching out to someone and encouraging them to put the past behind them and move forward


Since this week's sponsor is Simon Says Stamp, I decided to use the Magnolia image Tilda with bike which they carry in there store.  Boy has it been forever and day that I've inked up a Tilda.  I water colored her with distress inks.  The layout uses the Midnight Madness sketch for this week. This card si for a friend whose husband experienced a layoff 7 monthes ago.  Their whole life is changing and it sometimes is very difficult to move on.  My sentiment says "Keep on peddling!"

I hope you enjoyed my creations today. For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit:

Grace, Linda, Lisa, Peggysue, Randi, Meisje, Rebecca, and Cindy

Hi Chris,
This is a beautifully crafted card. I love your papers and colours. Tilda is gorgeous and I love the lace ribbon and the flower. I like the way you have thresded the top ribbon through to produce the drape around the image.

Your image is adorable and colored so beautifully. LOVE all your colors, dp and that FABULOUS ribbon border treatment!!!! Love the sparkles, flower, stitching and crochet ribbon. And, that sentiment is perfect! Now, go on and try to make an ugly card once in awhile. It will make me feel less inadequate!!! LOL!!!
