Happy Birthday Jesus

I would like wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas. 
 
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.  This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:11-12
 
Happy Birthday Jesus!

Inspired Stamps

As I promised here is a card I made using some Inspired Stamps.  Mind you I have not been practicing with my Copic markers so my coloring is not so good but the stamps are beautiful.

I won..I won...again!!

Oh boy I cannot believe I won again.  This time it was on Inspired Stamps Blog.  This is a blog and stamp company of a fellow CTMH consultant who has quit to start her own stamp company .  Her company is all faith based clear stamps.  She has some really awesome stamps.  She had asked for our favorite bible verses, which if chosen she would make into stamps.....Mine was one of the four chosen...woohoo.  Here's my winning entry:

 Jean M said... I have a couple. the first is 2 Corinthians 5:8 "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." I love this verse for Sympathy cards

Please check out Antoinette's website Inspired Stamps.

Thank you Antoinette:)

I will post a card I made using some of her amazing stamps later:)

I won...I won...I won

Oh my gosh..I just had to share.....I won a prize on Tim Holtz Blog ........He is such an amazing artist!!!!

I am so excited ...I am doing the happy dance.  I feel like a kid on Christmas morning....wooohooooo.....yippeeeee......Thank you Tim
