Happy Saturday All!! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend!! I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge. I am currently away looking for a house in Virginia since this past week we received a signed contract on our house in New York!! God is good!! Praise God in this dwindling economy, He provided us with a buyer and an excellent real estate agent. Now I pray that we find the right house in Virginia.
Anywho.....
For more inspiration for this challenge, please visit my dt sisters:
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments!! I look forward to visiting your blogs when I return. Have a great weekend!!

This was a very fun challenge for me. I just wish I was able to case many more than just one. Unfortunately my time has been very limited lately. I was deeply honored to have the opportunity to case my dear friend, Sabrina. Sabrina is not only very talented but she has a heart of gold. I just love her!!! Not too long ago, she sent a gorgeous vintage tag she created to me. I love and cherish it so, that I just had to case it for this week's challenge.
I changed the flower ( I made mine of lace), the colors, the sentiment, the dies, and the background was stamped using the Grunge Butterfly Background and the It is Well with my Soul Background
Tag Recipe
Accessories: turquoise seam binding, baja breeze ink, SU striped grosgrain ribbon for leaf, lace, stickpin and beads, Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Accents, heart charm, love charm, Spellbinders Grand Caliber
While this tag is not necessarily Valentine's, it is based on a love theme. Who loves us more than God himself. What a comfort to know that He is with us in both in the storms and in the rainbows of our life. What greater love did the Father share with us than to send His one and only Son into the world to die for us and give us eternal life. I know that amidst the trials our family has faced an continue to face in selling our home and now putting an offer in on a new one that He was a comfort directing our paths in every step of the way. It is during the low points of our life that we can truly see His leading and feel His comforting hand carrying us through...if we trust in Him.
