Find Time to Craft and Create
Hello, welcome back to my blog. It means a lot that you took the time to visit with me today. I hope you all are finalizing your Christmas plans. It has been hard for me to think about preparing for Christmas with all the sickness and death. Every time I open my Facebook or emails, I see many requests for prayer because of the sickness that is going on. It just breaks my heart and has me crying out to God for help. This coronavirus reminds me of my hurricane Katrine experience. What I mean by that is we all affected; no one could help someone else. One thing we can all do is be there for someone.
A few housekeeping, I would like to share. This month I will become live with my website. That website will be www.craftingaftersixty.com. I am putting the final touch to it. For December, I will post on Friday for our craft and chat.
I have a very dear friend that I have not been around in a while, and she loves snowman. She is the inspiration for today’s card. This card is a little bigger than we usually make, but this snowman is a big die; it needed a bigger card base. The card will be a Z fold card.
Materials:
A piece of red card stock that measures 8 1/2′ by 11.’
4′ by 7′ white card stock
A snowman, candy cane, stocking, and snowflake die
Embossing folder
4′ x 5′ light blue and white cardstock
Silver embossing powder
Red marker
Glue
Steps:
The word for today is meekness. This week, I have been reading about meekness. I was amazed to find that everything I thought I knew about meekness was wrong. I had the impression that meekness was the same as weakness. Being a strong woman being weak was not an option. To learn, it was four powerful things that were mind blowing. Let me share the four things meekness is:
The one who shows us meekness was Jesus Christ. I would never think of him as weak. After studying about meekness, I feel a need to be meek.
I have enjoyed our time together today. Please be safe and find time to craft and create.
