Hi All!! If you are here for the Whimsy Hop click here.
Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you all have been having a great weekend. I have been a little down for some unknown reason and definitely lacking mojo...I also have been in a cleaning frenzy. My poor husband said if he did not get out of the way quick, I may throw him out too. Yes...I filled up our HUGE garbage can with all the...."may need this sometime so I will save it..." Felt good to get rid of some of the clutter.
Anywho...today is another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge. This week's challenge is hosted by my dear sweet friend, Grace!!
Grace chose the verse:
Matt. 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
God does not want us to pray or talk with Him so others can see but He wants our one on one time. He wants to befriend us and spend quality time with Him. Do you have quiet time with your Saviour? A relationship is built on communication. Are you strengthening your relationship with your Saviour by speaking with Him on a daily basis.
Grace challenges us to:
Create a card or project that has something hidden from first view. It could be many things... an envelope, a pull out, doors that open to reveal something, a Joy Fold, Flip Flop, Magic, Slider...anything that you don't see at first glance.
This week's sponsor is Our Daily Bread Designs!! They are offering a $15 Gift certificate to one lucky challenge participant!!
When I made my creation for this challenge, I had totally forgotten that ODBD was the sponsor and neglected to use some of my beloved ODBD stamps! Sorry! Most weeks I do....
For my creation I used some of the new fun releases from Whimsy stamps. I created a Joy Fold card which has a hidden opening on it. The stamps I used are the new Spring Seals as well as Fragrant Rose.
The designer paper is from Prima Botanical!!
The Spring Seal is cut out and then framed with a Spellbinders Scalloped Circle.
The punch I used on the edge is a Martha Stewart Shells Border punch.
For more inspiration for the Stampin in Christ Challenge, please visit my dt sisters:
Grace, Linda, Lisa, Peggysue, Randi (on leave), Meisje, Kristine, Sabrina, Marilynn and Rebecca.
For the full devotional and challenge details please visit the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge.

My next creation is just for fun and for the Whoopsi Daisy Challenge!! This week's challenge is to make something for Easter. I just adored Linnie's rabbit on sheet 226 so I had to create an Easter Basket with her. Since these were digis, I could make two different sizes like a mom and her copycat daughter...
I colored them with copics. The basket is created with a template from Leigh Ann Baird at Perfect Presentations called Spring Basket. They are so fun to make!!
The grass was created with a Martha Stewart Scissor specially made for fringes or grass. I dry embossed each picket with a distressed stripes embossing folder. The handle is also punched with a MS punch. Each flower has a rhinestone or gem in the center. The ribbon is SU Bermuda Bay (on the handle strip). The sheer dotted ribbon is from Celebrate (available at Michaels). The candy is Reeses Pieces in a carrot bag.
