Happy Sunday All!!! I hope you are all enjoying this weekend!! This one is very  busy for me as my family is here to celebrate Thanksgiving early.  Last night we had our turkey with all the fixings.  How Yummy and oh so fun!!  I feel like I gained a few pound over night. LOL!  It does feel good to think the big preparations for the Thanksgiving holiday are done.  Thursday, we will just have a nice quiet dinner among our family with a little less work or stress. LOL!

Today I am popping briefly to share this week's Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge hosted by Rebekka.

Rebekka chose the verse:
Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him


Rebekka challenged the team to:
make a card of praise,using music, stamp, or design paper or just the word praise.


Here is my take on the challenge using the Blessed Christmas stamp set (an older set from ODBD) at Our Daily Bread Designs.




I used music on my card background using the Allegro embossing folder.  I also drew musical notes on my sentiment panel and added gold baubles.  The designer paper is from SU Holiday Traditions and K and Co. Elizabeth Browd (Holiday paper).  My panels are antiqued with gold embossing powder on the smaller panels and Antique Gold on the largest panel and over the embossing.  This card uses the layout from this week's Mojo Monday sketch 215.





This card was also made for the Splitcoast November Theme challenges using the Word Challenge: WORD1011 which is to use the letters in the word PLAY.
P- Pearls, Pin
L- Lace, layers
A- Antique Gold, Allegra embossing folder
Y- Yellow- yellow buttons and yellow gold accents


Card Recipe:
ODBD stamps: Blessed Christmas
Paper: SU Holiday Traditions, K and Co.- Elizabeth Browd, Ivory, Real Red
accessories: pearls strand, Allegra embossing folder from Provocraft, gold baubles, May Arts Ivory Wrinkled Ribbon, red cording, lace, buttons



Be sure to check out  Rebekka's devotional on the SSIC Blog, as I know you'll be blessed!
