Bookmarks for a Christian Women's Conference.

Wow! I can't believe July is already on it's way out. This month has really flown by! I have been so busy, that I don't know where the month has gone to. I've been keeping my grandchildren through the summer and trying to keep them busy with fun things, cause I didn't want them to think staying with Nonnie ( that's what they call me ) was boring. Lol It wasn't boring on my end, I'll tell ya! I hope they have enjoyed them selves, because I have certainly enjoyed them.

I want to share with you today, bookmarks that I made for a Christian Women's conference. The theme was " Beauty for Ashes " So this to me, was a time for reflecting and cleaning out the junk in our lives and becoming a new creature.

On these bookmarks, I wanted to show that when we clean out all of the past junk in our lives, it allows new growth and also a new birth. This is something I still struggle with on a day to day bases. The flowers show new growth and the butterfly is an example of new birth or rebirth. God can give both.

Thank you so much, for stopping by today. I pray you all will have a blessed week! Hugs Brenda

Round Two of Cards

It's Sunday, and what a beautiful Sunday it is! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and probably most of you are watching the Masters Golf Tournament.

I just want to share real quick, round two of my cards for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Since I'm doing a mass production of these cards, I've had to keep it some what simple, but nice of course. The base of this card is embossed using the cuttlebug embossing folder, layered with a stripe of yellow and designer paper. I also used an ek success punched butterfly and raised oval punch out to give dimension, along with three pink pearls.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a great week! Hugs Brenda
