Faith Sister Challenge

May 28th Challenge After Memorial Day weekend remembering the ones we have lost. This challenge is to record for our future legacies. Use this holiday to document the story or a testimony of a loved one. Either alive or passed away. Share a lesson learned from this person, do you have anything that they personally wrote? Or chose one of your family members alive and ask them to document their testimony, favorite scripture or to share a spiritual event in their own words. You might start with the oldest member of your family – perhaps a grandparent or parent. You also can include the testimonies of other spiritual people in your life.

So I made this card for my Dad, he is the Hero in my life. He has been there for me and my family too many times to count. Even though he does not believe in the same God that I do but I still have mustard seed faith that he will come to know the heavenly Father that I know. I sent this card to him thanking him and his wife for being such amazing blessings in our lives. We wouldn't have any of what we have today if it were not for them. I hope to leave the same legacy for my children.

Faith Sister Challenge AND Unity Stamps

OK so here is my first post in a long time but I wanted to share with everyone my new stamp set from Unity Stamp Company (the only non-SU sets that I have ever bought).

These stamps were so perfect for the scrapbook challenge that i was doing for the Faith Sisters challenge. Our challenge was to use up your stash well when I first read it I thought that it said scraps and only when i posted my sample did I realize that it said stash so the flowers are part of my stash as most of you know that I am a hoarder and love to keep my accessories all to myself, which is changing and I am doing much better at, so I thought that my page still worked for what I needed. The picture doesn't capture the textures and some of the DSP is hard to see. But I really like this layout and it was fun to do something a little out of my box as far as doing a different layout.

So back to the stamps, you gotta check these bad boys out they are HUGE and such a great value. The handles are amazing, check out the mounting system. They are kind of like acrylic stamps but they are rubber and just amazing, so check it out and let me know what you think. You can come over and play with mine if you want to see them in real life.
