Not Perfect, Just Unique Card---Come and Join our Fun Challenge at 613 Avenue Create!

Good Sunday morning, everyone!  It is a day to meet up with fellow believers all over the world to bring praise and worship to the our Almighty God.  "It is good to praise the Lord and make music to the Name of God, Most High.  To proclaim His love and faithfulness in the morning and through the night." (Psalm 92:1-2).  So, what should I be grateful for today?  The fact that I am still alive and is able to share all His wonderful works to everyone who would listen.  That I can be His instrument to bless others in situations that I will encounter today.  For providing all my needs here on earth yet prepared a wonderful place for me in His Kingdom...there are just too many things to be thankful about.  But what gets me the most is that He loves me despite all my imperfections.  That I don't need to be anybody else just to merit His favor. That I just need to be myself---that which He created uniquely from anybody else.  There was no special formula or amount of work on our part to come to His presence.  It rest solely on the finished work of Jesus Christ!---Not in religion or any ways of man.  The Word of God says in Isaiah 64:6, "All of us have become like one who is unclean and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf and like the wind our sins sweep us away." To accept what Jesus has done for me and allowing Him to live inside my heart and be my Lord and Savior had brought new meaning to my life.  He has shown me not just to live in the "now" but to look forward to a future where time will not be a factor.  His Spirit inside of me transforms me from glory to glory and though I'm not perfect, He is working with me daily to be transformed in the image and likeness of Jesus.  So, if you have not done so, give Jesus a chance in your life...He is knocking at the door of your hearts.

So today, I want to share with you an inspiration card for another great Challenge happening at 613 Avenue Create.  It's an Anything Goes Challenge this week with an optional "Love" twist.  It can be a project about love or use something you love in the project---like for example:  techniques you love, embellishment, card lay-out, design, papers etc.  It's open for your interpretation.  In this Card, I used a QKR Stampede image called "Old Lady."  I paper pieced her clothes and colored her with my ProMarker/Prismacolor markers.  All DP's are from K & Company which I laid and matted with coordinating color CS.  My base card is Kraft measuring 5.5-inches.  I incorporated some white gems and heart gems from Imaginisce, a gorgeous ribbon from my stash and a border die cut with an MS Punch.  I cut the circles using a MS Small Circle Cutter.  I added some Glossy Accents to the image's eyeglasses and glitters (Xmas Red and Silver Stickles) to her accessories.  And this is what I really love about this card---ready?  It's the sentiment I got free from Ginger's House.  Then, what was left was to stitch all over this card.  Love, love, love the results!
