Doesn't it feel like every new card is a new adventure in creating? Doing new things is so much fun when they work out, and a learning experience when they don't.
Today I was playing with some striped paper and decided to see if a Darice Diagonal Striped EF would coincide with the stripes on the paper. To my delight, the stripes matched up very well and this is what the paper looked like after embossing:
I punched out some greenery from a Martha Stewart Pine Branch punch and glued them to a cut out circle to form a wreath; then I spritzed it with glue and glittered it with white iridescent glitter. A bow is attached with little bells hanging from the tails of the ribbons. The sentiment is stamped from a Sweet 'n' Sassy stamp collection.
Here it is:

Romans 10:9-11
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
Acts 13:38-39
"Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God—something the law of Moses could never do." NLT
