 I have a lovely original Scofield Bible published by Oxford Press back in the 1930s.  What makes it even more special it was given to me by my sweet friend Lauren!  I use this bible daily and while the binding, true to Oxford quality, is still in excellent condition, the cover needed a little first aid.  !  Another dear friend Holly sent me some lovely handmade paper.  I thought the two would marry beautifully!  I wanted to share the results with you all.  Lovely paper and a beautiful card from Holly, these are 5 x 6 cuts The Bible was given to  by Lauren.  You can see where the leather is dehydrated beyond what I can do to restore it - I did try.  Not bad for over 90 years old! this is what I used to coat the Bible and glue the paper down and cover the paper in two coats I buy it by the gallon on Amazon it is perfect for card making and very affordable! Front I am going to put a scripture on the front cover when I decide which one!  I cover the bible with a generous coat of glue, and

Wise Word and Bible Verse Digital for Your Card Making

Image
  6 years ago I purchased Photoshop Elements and spent about 6 months learning it bit by bit, then I moved, lacked the time and forgot everything I learned. Last night when I was reading the word, I was really touched by a verse and it's application in my life and I wanted to digitize it so that I could make cards of encouragement and share the word. So I decided to open up PE and give it ago. I looked at the software and felt the brain fog descend. This Time I prayed and asked the Lord to help me, and you know what - He did! I am sharing three forms of it with you and I will put them in the scripture files. If you are a KJV-only person, keep scrolling, I understand - this is not KJV. The single you can make any size you like. I did the large as a card focal point and the small to work with your fav stamps. I hope you like this and will find it useful. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy these and while you are making- Ask the Lord for Wisdom and that your words be

A Special Free Set of Digitals for Your Card Making Ministry

Last night while working through some ideas of how to keep our church's card ministry up to date and have it be a real blessing, I thought to develop a set of cards that I can store digitally for fast makes.  I wanted to share these with anyone that has a need whether personal or for church ministry. The first thing I wanted to make, was a nice digital  background stamp that could be an all-occasion stamp.  What better for this than Psalm 23 and 24: 1 {A Psalm of David.} The LORD  is  my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou  art  with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and merc
