The Lord is My Protector

Challenge Word #3 is Protector. The Lord is our protector. And at this present time I am so glad for that. There are so many negative things happening in this world. I honestly am not worried about any of it. I find comfort in our Creator and Protector. I know that no matter what happens He is in control. And that is all that really matters. I chose to use Isaiah 27:5 from the Amplified version for my page.

Or else [if all Israel would escape being burned up together there is but one alternative], let them take hold of My strength and make complete surrender to My protection, that they may make peace with Me! Yes, let them make peace with Me!

This verse spoke to me because so many people today talk about peace. But there is only One who we need to make peace with and who can possibly bring peace to this world, only if we surrender to Him.

About the details of my page: I used patterned paper from a Basic Grey Urban Prairie 6x6 pad. The flowers are from Elegant Flowers Gina K Designs. I colored them in with Copic Markers (Rll, RV02, BG10, & B02). I also colored the inner part of the leaves with a Prismacolor Limepeel marker. The butterfly is from Little Tees Gina K Designs and the polka dots are from the background stamp in Bold Flowers Gina K Designs. I added a few dew drops and everything is raised up on 3M foam tape. You can see the dimension on the bottom photo. It took me forever to figure out how to arrange the flowers. After that the page came together quickly.

He is my Sovereign LORD

The second attribute of God is the word Sovereign. You can read about the challenge here. I chose two different passages from the Bible for my page. I think my favorite is from Psalm 68:20. I find great comfort in that passage.



It took me forever to come up with this layout. I knew I wanted to use this tree stamp from Hero Arts because of the verse I chose from Isaiah. It is such a large image and I am making a 6 x 6 book. So this is what I finally came up with. I colored the tree with my new Copics that arrived today. The PP is from Basic Grey Urban Prairie. I added the dew drops under the tree. Kind of like apples on the ground. That's about it. The page is actually a simple one after getting the layout correct. I hope you find comfort and joy in reading the verses on this page.

And know that Jesus Saves!!!

Glory In His Holy Name

Patter is hosting a wonderful challenge this year called His Holy Name. The first word is Holy. I found several verses that spoke to me. But I chose 1 Chronicles 16:10 I rejoice knowing I can seek Him at any time.



Card Details:
I bought some Basic Grey 6x6 pads from Gina K Designs. I knew I would want to use some for this challenge. I love this sheet with the grid and beautiful flowers and butterflies. I usually have a hard time using this type of DP on a card because the design is part of the whole sheet (not easy to cut it up and use it). So using it for a 6 x 6 layout is perfect. I cut out part of the butterfly wing on the bottom right to tuck my printed verse under. I thought the butterfly from Reason to Smile goes well with the DP. I hope you enjoy it.
