Sending Latte Love

I finally had a chance to make some cards using the beautiful digi stamp from Verse Stamps. You can download it HERE (or click the picture) for free and limited time. So download today if you can!

Here are my cards:

On this first card, I colored the images using the coloring technique using crayons I learned from The Stamp Nation. It is a fun technique to color.

Second card, I embossed a Kraft cardstock using the Fall leaves embossing folder from the Paper Studio I got at Hobby Lobby last year. Adding some Orange Baker’s Twine and I used Coloring Pencils to color the image.

My third card is pretty simple, too. I embossed the kraft cardstock, add the sentiment with Orange Baker’s Twine and I used my Sharpie markers to color the image.

It was fun making these cards and coloring the images using 3 different coloring medium. I probably will try different way to color them in the future.

Don’t forget to link up your Coffee projects with Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. It is until October 2nd!

World Bible Translation Day

Today, September 30th, is dedicated to World Bible Translation Day. God has been doing GREAT things among the nations!

These verse from Psalm 67 is a prayer for the nations to know the Great God, the only One who worthy of our praise. The only One who worthy of worship from His creations. The only One who worthy of honor and the only One who rules over every nation!

May God be merciful and bless us.

May his face smile with favor on us.

Interlude

May your ways be known throughout the earth,

your saving power among people everywhere.

May the nations praise you, O God.

Yes, may all the nations praise you.

Let the whole world sing for joy,

because you govern the nations with justice

and guide the people of the whole world.

Interlude

May the nations praise you, O God.

Yes, may all the nations praise you.

Then the earth will yield its harvests,

and God, our God, will richly bless us.

Yes, God will bless us,

and people all over the world will fear him.

Please join us to give PRAISE to the LORD for:

what He has done among the nations
all the translation projects done this year
all the nearly-done projects this year
all translation teams who are working among the people groups
all partners who work together to get the Word available in the languages in the world

Please join us in PRAYER today for:

those people groups who do not yet have any verses of the Word available in their languages
open doors to the restricted and closed countries and people groups
more churches and partners to see the urgent needs in their countries and step in join the teams to work together bringing the Good News to the people who have been waiting for so long
protection and courage to the Believers who live in closed and restricted countries where they serve and share the Good News with the people there
more workers sent by God to the fields
God’s glory known among the people on earth

We are so grateful to be part of the work of B!ble translation projects in SEA* in Pacific with Wycliffe Associates. Right now we are working from home but our prayer and hope that we will be there to work directly with the local teams and partners to bring the Good News to the more than 400 language groups who have been waiting for so long. They need God’s word to know Him and to trust in Him. They need to read His Word to know how much He loves them. They need God in their lives, to change them only by the power of His living word.

Our family would like to THANK YOU for your partnership with us since the beginning of the ministry with Wycliffe Associates.

May God bless you and your family!

Re-Decorate The Old Fall Wreath

The cool air is blowing nicely when we sit at our front porch. And I think it is the time to get the Fall decorations out from the box.

I washed, air dried and hang the old wreath we had on the front porch wall but it looked there was something missing. But what?

Then I remember that I have couple chalkboard sign I got from Walmart couple months ago for my daugthers’ going back to school signs. I saw an Instagram post from Emily (see her project here) and I love her Fall chalkboard sign 😊

I cleaned the chalk off that board using baby wipes. Let it air dries completly before start writing on it. And then I wrote the Fall phrase on it using an eraseable chalkboard marker so in the future I can write something else on it 😉

And the re-decorate wreath is now hang up on the front porch wall. But for sure we still need couple things to decorate our front porch.

I hope you like it as much as we do! Thank you for visiting and enjoy the cool crisp air of Fall!
