Good morning and I pray that you are having a very blessed Sunday so far. Today's Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge 57 is focusing on Ecclesiastes 3:1, which reads, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." This verse has significant meaning for me because I'm in a season, a season where I have to focus solely on my children, and therefore have had to make some significant changes in my life. As of October 1, I have resigned from the design teams I'm on and Kelley Holland of Our Daily Bread Designs (who also happens to be our sponsor today) is in prayer to take over Christian Paper Crafts. I'll still be blogging and crafting, but it will be for an entirely different purpose. I'd like to thank all of the designs teams and the wonderful colleagues that I've had the privilege and honor to serve with, especially those at Christian Paper Crafts, and pray for your continued support and covet your prayers as well.
As we are approaching fall, today's challenge is to make a card using fall colors or leaves. I made a card using both. I hope that this card inspires you and invite you to play along with us today and be blessed. Please be sure to stop by the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenges Design Team members blogs to see what they are going to share with you. God bless and I pray that you have a peaceful day in the Lord.
