MIM Word Art Wednesday Mash Up

Well Randy and I celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary this last weekend.  We had two full days to just be.  It was really nice.  When I got home on Monday I was able to play with some new PTI goodies that had arrived.  I FINALLY got my hot little hands on the brushed birds stamp set.  It has been on my list and I have waited months for both the stamp set and dies to be available at the same time.  

I thought the word highlighting challenge for the PTI MIM went so well with the word art from Word Art Wednesday that it just needed to be paired together.  

This cute little bird really just makes me smile.  We have lilacs growing all over the place right now, so the spring sprigs really worked. 

This verse is so fitting for the bible study and just life right now.  We are in a season of nose to the grindstone, this verse really speaks to that and the hope knowing that in God's time we will reap what we sew. 

It's a good life!

I'm jumping right into the card today.  It was a fun one to make.  The sentiment is from Word Art Wednesday.  I really like and needed to hear this bible verse.  

I often feel that sometimes hard work goes unnoticed.  Have you ever felt like that?  This was a great reminder to me to stay the course, keep walking in God's will and keep praying.  He notices and that is the only one that matters.  

I used Papertrey Ink's Rosie Posie and Ever So Much.  I'm not sure how I got Ever So Much, but I feel like it was a promotional thing and not in the store all of the time.  The butterfly is big and really pretty.  I can't wait to play with this set some more.

If you need any prayers or encouragement, I would be honored to pray for you.  Feel free to leave a comment. 

It's a good life!

I don't know about any of you, but it has been the coldest and snowiest spring I can remember.  I am so ready for the warmth to come back.  You might be able to see that in my card LOL!  

The verse this week comes from Word Art Wednesday and it is from the book of James.  Wisdom is something that I seek daily.  It is so hard to see through all of the distraction to get to the heart of matters at times.  We are doing the Lisa Tyrkurst bible study I am right now.  We are on the first week and it is all about the I Am the bread of life and diving into that.  This is hitting home on many levels, but we are trying to find our church home here in Iowa and would love some prayers on wisdom and making a good decision out here.  

All supplies are from PTI.  I used Rosie Posie and one of their stencils.  The card stock is all PTI stampers select white.  Enjoy your day (hopefully you are seeing some sunshine).

It's a good life!

Instagram....

I have no idea why I am so reluctant to jump on the technology band wagon, but I am.  Once I get it I am all in.  It has been quiet around here due to that fact.  I have found instagram, if you would like to fine me there I am @terri.earley.cards  In the mean time, I will be posting more and creating to share on here as well.

I am really excited about busting out Rosie Posie again.  This was a stamp set that was well loved, but hasn't been used in a while.  The design team did a great series not too long ago and it had me wanting to create.  

It's a good life!

Welcome back!  I am pleased to have another creation for the Word Art Wednesday blog.  This was a fun verse and card to make.  I have been thinking about this one and it has hit home for sure.  

I get into ruts and get caught up in my own world and need the reminder to lean on God so that my soul can find that rest and peace it so desires.  

I'm still on the use up my pattern paper kick.  I think this is going to be one of my 2018 themes.  That along with use what you have before buying more!  This is all from Papertrey in.  I have been working with the Don't Forget to Write kit of Betsy's.  She packs so much into her kits, I haven't even scratched the surface of what is there.  Can't wait to keep creating. 

It's a good life!

Welcome!  We have been busy as a family these last two weeks!  We had our spring break and headed down to Nashville TN for a few days.  The girls had a wonderful time!  

I am a bit late, but here is my Word Art Wednesday card.  This verse hit home this past week.  My cousin is having some trials with selling a home and this reminder will be so perfect for her and her family.  

I made this with some Papertrey ink products and dies.  The verse is from the Word Art Wednesday blog.  I have a photo of my pattern paper problem on insta (terri.earley.cards).  I am bound and determined to use up a small portion of this paper "problem" LOL!  Does anyone else suffer from hoarding all of the pretty things?  I am determined that this will be the year to use it or lose it.  I have this thing with using the pretty papers, like they won't ever make more.  Shesh!

I'm so glad to be back and creating in the stamping room.  Can't wait to get some more fun cards up for you to see.

It's a good life!

Word art Wednesday

It's the end of January, isn't that crazy?  I'm still amazed at how quickly time goes by as an adult and how slowly it seems to go by to my kids.  It's time for another great Word Art Wednesday card and inspiration.  

The scripture is another great one this week.  Again, I had to look up the message version.  It says "But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him."

I really liked how they put God put his love on the line.  I think about the parable with Abraham and how he was willing to offer up his son as a sacrifice in obedience to God.  There is a lot of room in my life for improvement and obeying God the first time and right away is definitely something I am working on right now.    

For the card, I am still on a masking kick.  I made a mask using a papersmooches die that produced the nice curve for me.  I then sponged on a distress ink color and then kept working my way down.  Distress inks blend really nicely, so that was great to work with.  It is nice to go one layer and simple and still have a big bang for the buck.

It's a good life!
