A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised! Proverbs 31:30
Our Daily Bread Designs Forum Challenge
The challenge schedule is starting to solidify over at the Our Daily Bread Designs forum and this is the fifth Tuesday, so that means it's time for a Surprise Challenge. It's a surprise because we don't have it all planned out way in advance, but kind of wing it the week before. The first Surprise Challenge theme is "Anything But a Card." If you want to participate, just leave me a comment with a link to your project. If it uses ODBD Stamps, be sure to upload it to the ODBD gallery and use the keywords ODBDFTS01 ~ that's it, no commas. We're having a few technical difficulties at the forum. . .as part of the transition from Christian Paper Crafts, the registration feature isn't working. However, if you've previously registered, you still have access, just log in, and then click the Forum button. It should take you right to the discussion board. If you click on "new posts," you'll see all that's been happening since your last visit. (We are seeking to honor the Lord and learn the lesson in patience that He has for us during this time!)

What a pretty project you've created from such a wonderful combination of diverse pieces! Just like the Lord does with us when He brings us all together! It's a thing of beauty, Jan Marie! Thanks you so much!...Nancy :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little bag...that you transformed into a beautiful gift! Indeed, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God...having the awe of the Lord leads to heightened gratitude for the atonement of Christ!

Beautiful bag, Jan!! The roses, buttons and lace certainly dress up burlap! Fun and yet such an elegant combination! And of course, the verse is perfect to complete the feminine touch! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteFearing and respecting the Lord's greatness and all His attributes brings security and peace. and yet with the Lord there is nothing else to fear as any other fear is not of the Lord.
ReplyDeleteSweet little purse, Jan! I love the creative recycling and the lovely contrast of the delicacy and the roughness.
