Hello all!! It has been a while since I have posted and for that I apologize.  I have had a lot on mind and a lot going on in my life that has kept me from creating.  My heart and creativity is just not there.

I have popped in to share a card using a verse that is my motto and comfort during this difficult time in my life.  I may not know the answers or what to do next but God does.  I pray that He shows me how to have the faith and truly trust in Him....knowing that He is God!!!

My card uses Scripture Collection 3 and Mother's Day (poppies) from Our Daily Bread Designs.
In celebration of the upcoming July 4th holiday,  the challenge team at the Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs is challenging our viewers/ players to make a red, white and blue and/or patriotic card.  Since my last post was patriotic, I went with just red, white and blue.  The embossing folder is Cricut Poppy.  The frame around the sentiment is created with Spellbinders Lattice Motifs.


Our Daily Bread Designs, Chris Olsen, Mother's Day, Scripture Collection 3


Before going any further in my post, I would like to wish Kathy Roney the best as she steps down from the challenge team at Our Daily Bread Designs.  Kathy, you have been an inspiration to me in so many ways, not only with your faith and your crafting but with your friendship.  I will deeply miss you on the team.  May God bless you!! I will only be an email or a phone call away and of course I will be stalking you.  HUGS!!

I also want to say thank you and best wishes to Cathy who will be moving to the design team rather than creating with us on the Challenge team.  I know it is not goodbye since I will be working with you on the design team!!  Your creations are always amazing and I look forward to seeing more of your ODBD creations for the releases!!


Lastly I want to say thank you and best wishes to Audrey who will be moving to our Our Daily Bread Designs Alumni Team and will no longer be a member of the Challenge Team.  I have enjoyed your amazing talent and inspiration and friendship, Audrey, and look forward to your creations for our New Releases.  So glad you are staying with ODBD!!

Such a beautiful and impactful card, and a powerful message from God's Word. Love your use of textures with the die cuts and the embossing folder! So thankful for you, Chris and praying the Lord continues to give you wisdom and strength in the days and months ahead. . .Be still and know that He is God!

I'm so sorry to read that you're going through a hard time just now, Chris. I know that saps creativity - but it doesn't show here, this card is absolutely beautiful.
I love the verse too, and here's another one we were singing yesterday, from Psalm 31. I trust in You, Oh Lord, I say you are my God; my times are in Your hand...
