Willow shopping

Hello friends! It's Sunday and time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ! Today will be a short post as I have my Granddaughter staying with me this weekend and getting two girls ready for Church takes longer than I'm used to! LOL! Today's hostess is Rebekka, and I know you all love her as much as I do! Be sure to stop by Stampin Sisters in Christ to read her devotional today!

The Scripture Becky has chosen is
Psalm 9:10 "Those who know your name will trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You."

Becky is challenging us to use
"Things that Secure... Buttons.... No Less than Three!"

I'm so grateful to know that my salvation is not dependent on my own works! God's promise to us is that He will never leave us or forsake us! He tells us that those who seek Him with all of their hearts, will find Him. He desires to have a relationship with us. He loves us, pursues and and He keeps us! There was a once popular song that said "To know, know know you is to love, love, love you, and I do.... " In human terms... that love may come and go, rise and wane, but God's love is constant and sure, and He never changes. We can trust Him to always have our very best in mind, even if He needs to discipline us to bring us to where we need to be! We can never lose His love! What a precious promise! He will never forsake us!!!

Our sponsor this week is Whiff Of Joy and I just had to use one of my Elizabeth Bell WOJ images today! This image is Shopping Willow. I thought she'd be perfect this weekend, since I have my Granddaughter here and what do all little girls love to do? Shop!!! (Especially if Grandma is buying!!!) LOL! I have used a base of Papertrey Srping Moss, and all the designer paper is BasicGrey Sugar Rush. I used this week's Midnight Madness Sketch 92 for my layout.

I stamped Willow on Express It with Memento and colored with Copics. I paper pieced her bags with scraps. The circles are cut with Spellbinder's Lacey Circles and Classic Circles. I love my Grand Calibur for things like this because you can put different dies and papers on the large platform and cut them all with one pass! I ran the classic circles through with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder as well. The lace is Websters Pages and the flowers and buttons are from my stash.

We want to thank our Sponsor, Whiff Of Joy for their Support and Generous Prize! This is the adorable image being given away!
