Getting Started Early!

Last December after mailing out Christmas cards, I immediately started making new ones for Christmas 2014. I have to tell you that making some every month took so much pressure off during December this year. By the time December came around, all the cards that were needed were made, with some to spare that were given to a nursing home and a hospice center. If you make each card different, you know how time consuming and how much love goes into each card. This really seems to help, and I know that there are so many card crafters who do this.

Having said that, today's card is made from wrapping paper from Christmas packages and ribbon that was on same at Joann's. It is hard to throw away beautiful papers, isn't it?

The poinsettia is from a Spellbinder's die and a large gold rhinestone finishes the center of the flower. The white background is run through a Darice Crackle EF, then sprayed with glitter mist.

Here is the card:

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
