more scrapping time!
wow... this weekend has been one scrapping filled weekend for me!! and i sure have enjoyed it!! among scrap time i have also been able to catch up on my blog reading and email. while doing my reading i came across a design team call for nettio designs and i was so excited to see this! so i have decided to jump back out there and try-out for her creative team! i love her template designs... so clean and crisp... not to mention easy to use! i have never been too crazy about templates... not because i didn't like them, but because some of them are just plain confusing and hard to use (by this i mean that the layers are not labeled, etc.)! but lynnette's designs are so nicely put together that they are a breeze to use... all layers are labeled and color coded and oh so versatile!
i have fallen a bit behind on project life and decided to use her templates to help me get caught up! january is getting close to being finished... here is what i have done so far...
using insta-love templates by nettio designs (working on the second page - right side, i have flipped this template so the two pages will mirror each other)
kits used - becky higgins project life core kits: turquoise, cinnamon, clementine
alpha - shawna clingerman bulky kraft alphabet
using week in the life highlights 8 x 10 by nettio designs for my journaling
using goal-tastic 2013 monthly goal tracker 6 x 6 for some highlight journaling
intro pages to 2013 project life

sunday blessing
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor
to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their
hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
1 Timothy 6:17
A few words from Rick Warren regarding this scripture...
You may be under a lot of stress right now because of the economy, but God still wants you to enjoy life.
As a Christian, you can enjoy life because your
conscience is clear. You can enjoy life because you are secure within
God’s love. You can have fun and laugh in church. You can enjoy friends
who don’t manipulate you because they are learning to be like Jesus, and
that means they are learning to look out for the interests of others.
Unfortunately, there are many people who do not want
to let God into their lives because they fear he will make them give up
anything that is fun. They think that to become a Christian is the same
as saying the party’s over, that to be spiritual is to be miserable.
People are frantically looking for fun fixes, but
that means they operate under the law of diminishing returns. They spend
more time, more money, and more energy to get less and less of a
thrill. They go around asking, “Are we having fun yet?”
The truth is, God “richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment” (1 Timothy 6:17b NIV).
God wants you to enjoy life!
