Happy 2nd Birthday Christian Paper Crafts!

Christian Paper Crafts officially turned 2 on Sunday, May 1, but we're celebrating until 11:59 p.m. today, May 4, so get crafting!; with a lot of wonderful prizes and a blog hop that's going on right now that you can read all about here! Our partner companies are both donating their entire May releases as prizes, as well as many other generous stamp companies to celebrate with us.

This card is for our birthday blog hop where you have to make a birthday card just for our birthday. I think this one turned out pretty cute and I'm going to send it to one of my design team members who's been with us since the very beginning. I don't think that anybody truly realizes just how much the design team does for Christian Paper Crafts and what faithful servants they are to the Lord and ministering to our members daily. This is why it's so critical that we take a new path of having our members step up to take over our challenges and other events so that the design team can free up their schedule to minister to you, as well as spread the Word about the Lord and Christian Paper Crafts. They've worked tirelessly for 2 years. A community is only what the members make it and i would like to see you make our community your own and your home, as many of you have, but we still need your help in letting others know that Christian Paper Crafts is out there as well and we appreciate your help so much. Thank you.

So, without further ado, here is my birthday card to celebrate our 2nd birthday and I would also like to praise the Lord in all that he's done for us; the prayers answered, the members brought to our community who are all such a blessing, and to another year of serving the Lord with all of my heart. God bless you and thank you for stopping by to visit me today. Today's Treasure: Matthew 25:23.
