Happy Sunday all!! ...and Happy Father's Day to all the husbands and fathers out there.  Today is the day to say thank you for all the fathers we have been blessed with.  I know I am very thankful for my hubby who is a wonderful father to our daughters as well as my father in law and father whom I cherish with all my heart!

Today it is time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge.  This week's host is the inspirational and sweet  Marilynn.

Marilynn chose the verse:
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. (KJV)

This is a verse that we each feel every day.  We have faith that we are going to wake up in the morning or that our children come home safe.  We need faith in most all we do but this faith is having Faith in Christ that although we can not see and touch him we believe that He is there, that He cared for us and that He died for us. We have to have Faith that he cares for us more than birds than the air...He knows everything and what will happen next but we have to have faith that He will provide.  Currently we are going through some life changes in our family.  Each day I pray for Faith that He will guide me to make the right decisions and that His will and not my will be done.  I can't see the road ahead but He can.  Do you have Faith or believe in a God you do not see?

Marilynn's challenge is:
Make a card that you doodle on.

 Since this week's sponsor is Our Daily Bread Designs, I decided to use one of their stampsets: Time.


I made this as a Father's Day card for my Dad.  This card has a lot of distressing and embossing (Provocraft Clockworks folder).  The ribbon is SU Striped Grosgrain.  The border on the top is punched with the MS shell border punch.  I doodled faux stitching on the bravo burgundy paper as well as around the sentiment.  I purposely tore the edges on the ribbon.


Card Recipe:
Our Daily Bread Designs stamp: Time
Paper: kraft, Bravo burgundy, SEI Time dp,
Accessories: SU Grosgrain ribbon, SU corner punch, Clockworks embossing folder, Tim holtz distress inks, Tim holtz clock hand, Spellbinders Fancy Tags, Spellbinders GRAND CALIBER


For more inspiration for the Stampin in Christ Challenge, please visit my dt sisters:
Grace, Linda, Lisa, Peggysue, Randi (on leave), Miesje, Kristine, Sabrina, Marilynn and  Rebecca.

For the full devotional and challenge details please visit the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge.  I know I am always enlightened or inspired by Marilynn's take on the verse each week and I am sure you will be also!!
