Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I made this card using the SSIC#66 challenge which was to create a card or project that shows your thankfulness to God. I have certainly been abundantly blessed in all areas of my life.  First and foremost in my salvation, my dear husband, our children (He blessed us with in His perfect time), my parents, good health, needs provided (as well as many *wants*), and this amazing hobby which has given me some wonderful friends in my computer, lol!  Some I have met and others will get to meet "in real life" soon.  More on that another day :o)  hee-hee...

Anyways...for this card I used some beautiful Layers of Color stamps.  I used the cling art stamps: Victorian Frame (which since Layers of Color is a preferred Spellbinders company it coordinates perfectly with Labels 14!) and Brick Wall, as well as Fruitful Harvest art stamp set.  The flourish is actually an art stencil: Natural Flourish.  The little acorn beside the sentiment is from Nature Walk and just perfect with the Autumn Blessings sentiment. Acorns here in North Carolina are abundant and the squirrels are going nuts getting them gathered up for the winter.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I pray you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Blessings,

Fruitful Harvest

Welcome to day five of our Fruit of The Spirit themed celebration!
Layers of Color is celebrating sponsoring 2Sketches4You this week!  I shared my card for the challenge on Monday and today wanted to share a CAS design using Fruitful Harvest.

This is really a very simple card that used two different images from the clear art stamp set.

I stamped on Pumpkin Spice cardstock with Memento Potter's Clay to create a nice fall creation.  This is also being entered into the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Fall Festival.  I was inspired by the orange colors and paired it with Chocolate Brown.

The scripture that is the central theme for our Blog Hop this week is Galatians 5:22: 

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,

patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Against such things there is no law"

Layers of Color is celebrating sponsoring 2Sketches4You this week!

We are featuring cards using their sketch and the Layers of Color Prize! Join the challenge at 2Sketches4You to be eligible to WIN THIS PRIZE: Fruitful Harvest art stamp set, Belle Brocade art stencil and Botanical Swirls art stencil!

The sketch is just fabulous and works so well with the LOC Art Stencils.  I stenciled the top with the Bella Brocade Art Stencil using Memento Cantaloupe ink.  The beautiful image is from the Fruitful Harvest art stamp set, stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo and colored the image with Copics.  Then I used a Versamarker (Versamark ink in pen form) and colored over the stamped/colored image and embossed it with Clear Embossing powder.  It really made the image pop as you can see:

Our Designer Blog Hop theme is, "Fruit of the Spirit".

For my design I wanted to focus on Faithfulness.  
Faithfulness describes a person who is trustworthy and will always stand up for God's way.  The Holy Spirit produces this fruit through the believer who is in union with Christ.  It is faith which makes it possible for one to be true to his promise and faithful to his task.  I certainly want to be faithful to my Lord and Savior most of all...and believe when I am everything else falls into place.  It is the J-O-Y principle: Jesus, others, and then yourself.
