Tie the Knot - Two Hearts Become One

My Bride-to-be was a sweet gal named Brittany.  She had seen one of the wedding cards I cased from "who knows where?"  and was just crazy about the design!  Little did I know that we would be using that to custom-design her Wedding Invitations for 160:)  Well, they were a lot more time consuming than I had imagined but boy, were they pretty.  Let me know what you think!  I just love comments from those of you that wish to leave them:)

 To make these, I used :

• 121044 Basic Gray card stock
• 101839 Vellum Paper
• 121045 Basic Black card stock
• 100730 Whisper White card stock
• Glitter paper from Michael's
• 101406 Jet Black Stazon Ink
• Groovy Guava Ink (retired)
• 119261 Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon
• 119262 Whisper White 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon
• 115466 Wedding Sweet Stamp Set 
• 115963 Finial Press Embossing Folder
• 113439 Big Shot Machine
• 117332 Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit
• 120907 Decorative Label Punch
• 119849 Modern Label Punch
• 119883 Full Heart Punch
• 102930 The Tearing Edge

After making the cards themselves, I went on to dry embossing envelope flap as well as stamping the lower left corner with the lovely flourish from Wedding Sweet stamp set .  Then, I used the small bouquet of swirls on the corner on the envelop that I used for the RSVP card.  They came out so nice!  ...And most importantly, the bride was pleased:)

Thanks for visiting:)

On Fire for God!

It is so wonderful to see the Lord using the recent tragedy of our church building fire to light a spiritual fire among all those who are near us!  The Akron Beacon Journal featured a huge article about our church, it's origins and the work God is doing there presently.  ( It was in Saturday, January 22nd edition. You can view it on www.ohio.com  )   I'm so excited to see Him stirring the community to rally with us as we have been holding our worship services in our local public high school gymnasium.  I think this scattering of the flame in each person in the congregation has been a real blessing in disguise.  Please continue to pray for our people to touch the lives of those God brings our way this week and draw them close to Him :)

Grace Church Fire

My beloved Grace Church experienced a tragedy to the building as our upper auditorium was gutted by fire.  We are thankful that the folks that were in the building at the time were evacuated safely and the 6 fire departments responding were top notch about taking care of the building.  This will be difficult to repair but God's people have such a way of pulling together in a time of need like no other group I've seen.

Please pray as we work to repair and hopefully resume services soon:)
Thanks for stopping by!
