ODBDSLC214 Fall Blessings

Hello Friends!! I hope this post finds you all well!! I can't believe how fast time is flying and that we are now officially into Fall!! Wow, time flies!!

Today I am popping in to share a card I created for this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs...which is an inspiration challenge!! I just love the colored leaves, pumpkins, Indian corn and the many other decorations or looks of fall.

For my creation I used the Our Daily Bread Designs stamp sets Doily Blessings (and the coordinating die ODBD Doily), Pumpkin (and coordinating die

Our Daily Bread Designs, Pumpkin, Doily Blessings, Doily die, pumpkin die, beautiful borders die, recipe and tags die, fancy foliage die, ODBDSLC214, designer-Chris Olsen

ODBD Stamps Used: Doily Blessings, Pumpkin
ODBD Dies Used: Beautiful Borders, Doily, Fancy Foliage, Recipe and Tags, Pumpkin Die
other materials: My Mind's Eye dp, kraft, black, olive,white (neenah solar white), and hemp

To every thing there is a season, and a time to purpose under heaven Ecclesiastes 3: 1....

Ecclesiastes 3: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew, a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

How often do you look at the outdoors and see the masterpiece that God has created!! He has made all things beautiful and there are no mistakes in His creation. This also so for the seasons in your life, God is there through it all. You can thank Him for those joys and blessings you receive but also rely on Him to carry you through the trials and tribulations you travel through. He is there in every season!!
