Do not grow weary. . .

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galations 6:9

Gloria Designs Challenge The current challenge at Craft Hoarders Anonymous is: Fold It!
Use some sort of "fun fold" on your project. You can make a fun fold card, a pop-up card, an explosion box, or other type of project that makes use of folded cardstock or paper. You can share some folding techniques that are perfect for scrapbook layouts or mixed media pieces. Create a mini album with a folded binding. Fold some ribbon to make pleats. De-hoard those supplies and show us your folds....paper folds that is!

Do Not Grow Weary. . .

Sometimes, many times, it is easy to grow discouraged and weary as we look around and see what appears to be the darkness of evil and wickedness closing in, yet we must remember the promises of the Lord and that He is, even now, making all things right. He promised that His kingdom will spread from a tiny seed to a magnificent tree covering the entire earth (to paraphrase).

We must press on in the strength He provides doing the good works He has called us to do, with our eyes fixed upon Him and our eternal home.. . .remembering that He who began a good work in you, WILL carry it forward to the day of completion.

Project Description

For this challenge, I used a Stencil Girl's Chevron Doily Mask stencil on a beautiful WorldWin Papers shimmery wheat card stock using Ranger Distress Inks in Cotton Candy,, Tumbled Glass and Faded Lipstick. Atop the stenciled doily, I've placed some Prima swirls, a Wilton pastry doily, a stamped banner and then accented with some FOLDED fans. The fans are crafted with papers from World Win (velum and pool). I then used flowers from 7 Gypsies and finished off with a vintage button from my collection (thanks to my mom and grandmothers!)

Paper: WorldWin Papers Pool, Red Apple, Vellum.
Ink:
Brown, Ranger Distress Cotton Candy, Worn Lipstick, Tumbled Glass.
Accessories: Prima gems and swirls, 7 Gypsies flowers, Wilton pastry doily.
Stamps:
Outside: Our Daily Bread Designs Thank You Sentiments; Inside ~ Verve and ODBD Thank You.
