When You're Making a Memory Card---Time for Another MayzyArt Challenge with Anything Goes!

Hi there, fellow Crafters!  The hectic weekend is over and going into another busy week for me starting off with a MayzyArt Challenge.  I really enjoy making cards that have more to it than just a simple "Thinking of You" or "Hello."  This creation is all about "Making Memories" and I should say that it is very true.  We wake up each morning not really knowing how the day will go.  We do make plans at times but our plans are subject to the grace and favor of our Almighty God.  The Word of God declares in Proverbs 16:9, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps."  We all know that even the very air we breathe is given by our Father in heaven so, each day should be treated with praise and thanksgiving for all His goodness.  I used to believe in "luck" or "coincidences" until I saw many verses in the Bible did I had a change of heart.  Having put my faith in the Lord Jesus, I have found these scriptures to be true in Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."  Psalm 37:23 declares, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way."  Thus, I have erased those words in my vocabulary knowing that my Father in heaven has me covered.  Though the storms of life come and believe me, they come pretty often, my confidence is in the promises of my God who loved me and gave His life for me.  Thus, this scripture makes perfect sense to me in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." I know that whether I live or die, I am with Him and for Him because Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price for my redemption.  I will forever be grateful!  He knew me far more than I will ever know myself thus I remind myself everyday this promise of the Lord in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Therefore, each day of my life starts with a prayer that He use me mightily for His glory and to make wonderful memories of each day by being a vessel to do His work.  We are His hands and feet here on earth and the sooner you recognize that, the sooner you will find the purpose for your existence.  

So, here's the inspiration card I want to share to you for our MayzyArt Challenge.  I used Prom Annette from MayzyArt stamps to highlight today's project which I colored with my ProMarker/Prismacolor/Spectrum Noir markers.  I used a 5.5-inches Kraft for my card base, more Kraft and Ecru CS for my panels and matting, the DP's are from Recollections.  I stamped the sentiment from Cloud 9 and the flower border stamp is from Tim Holtz.  I layered some Prima flowers and laid out some glitters (Stickes-Diamond) on the petals, added some brads from Recollections and gems from Hotfix.  I used an MS Border Punch to punch the sides of the card and added a doily.   I added some Platinum Liquid Pearls on the clothes of the image for a wonderful touch.  Lastly, I stitched all over this card.  I love the subtle vintage effect this Card has achieved.  Hope you like it too.
