Beyond all borders. . .

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Philippians 3:12

 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have attained. Philippians 3:13-16

ODBD Shining the Light Challenge #138

This week, the Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge Team challenges YOU to use your punches or dies to make a special border on your project (at least one side).
To make the challenge even more rewarding, we will be giving out a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! And, if you use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing one to two creations to spotlight for our Shining the Light Award. All submissions must be added to Mr. Linky by Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 8 p.m. EST. Complete details are available on the ODBD blog.
Please take a bit of time to visit  my fellow challenge team members blogs, you'll be blessed!

  3. Oh wow - what a gorgeous card. Those soft colours and all the texture are simply gorgeous. I also love the verse you've used at the start of the post - combined with borders the pressing on reminds me of an old Honeytree song my husband sometimes sings - Pioneer.
