SSCC Red White and blue~ Thank you~

3:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Sunday Everyone!! Well today our vacation ends and we make the trek back home. It is always hard to say goodbye to Lancaster and to our dear family and go our separate ways. We always have such a refreshing time together!! We were very blessed to be able to get together and share our vacation so please know I am not complaining...

Anywho...today is another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge. This week's host is Miesje.

Miesje has chosen the verse:
Galatians 5:1 "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. "

How blessed are we that Christ died for us that we can be saved from our sin and live in eternity with Him!! We are also blessed to be in a country that allows us to be free to worship and praise our God. I really cherish the freedom...especially as I notice our country moving further and further away from God...pushing Him out of our schools, communities, and our government. Each day I pray that our leaders will see and recognize that our nation was founded on God (hence the In God We Trust on our coins) and that without Him our country is nothing. Take advantage and feel blessed with the freedom God has given you in sending His son to die for us and in the freedoms we have to worship Him.

Miesje's challenge:
Create a Red, White, and Blue thank you card.

Here is my take on the challenge:

For my card I used the Our Daily Bread Designs Mini Tags 2 Stampset framed with the Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio Three. The dp is from Bearly Mine- Delicious Delights Digital Paper.

card recipe:
stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs Mini Tags 2 Stamp set
