Peace – SOUS Die Cut Challenge

Today is new challenge at Stuck OnU Sketches – Die Cut Challenge. This week new challenge theme is Into The Woods. You can create any projects that use die cuts like: woods, trees, deers, hunting, camping out, etc. As long as they are showing the theme and die cuts.

Here’s my card I made for this challenge:

The watercolor paper itself is thick and curled when I colored with, so I added on my card base using strong adhesive to keep it laid flat well.

I cut the wood using my Silhouette Cameo. And then I attached it on top of a piece of watercolor paper using 3D Foam Tape.

For the sentiment, I cut these words – Peace, Joy, Hope – all together using Watercolor Paper with my Silhouette Cameo. I used blade 6, Speed 3 and Thickness 33, double cut for the cutting setting.

Before I peeled them off from the cutting mat, quickly and lightly I added some watercolor paint on them. Let them dried for few minutes and peeled them off.

Then I added the word Peace on my card using Liquid Glass, it is a strong and dries clear liquid adhesive from Close To My Heart.

Now, it is your turn to show us what you create for this challenge 🙂 Get your die cut machine to work this week and link up your projects here at Stuck OnU Sketches – Die Cut Challenge.. While you are there, check out the projects that the SOUS Die Cut Team have created for your inspirations 🙂

Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth!
Worship the LORD with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy.
Acknowledge that the LORD is God!
He made us, and we are his.
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
(‭Psalms‬ ‭100‬:‭1-5‬ NLT)

Today I give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, kindness, love and cares in our lives.

I thank Him for who He is and for making us His own people through Jesus, His son.

His faithfulness is forever!

For this amazing loving God, I sing and shout with joy!

For every moment I can spend with these 2 girls is one many blessings I thank God for.

We love being silly.
We love snuggling.
We love taking selfie.

At the end of the day, their hugs and smiles are my treasures.

I Thank God for daughters! They fill my heart with so much joy. At the same time, they challenge me to grow in my faith and learning to be a mom in ways God wants me to be for them.

This Thanksgiving break is a blessing for us because we have the Big Girl at home for 3 school days! The Little Girl is super happy!

It was dear friend who introduced me to an organization that help and reach out to women who used to live under some circumstances and now they live in safe houses.

Today after work, she came to my house and we made these 30 handmade cards for some of them to show them how precious they are and that they are loved.

We are so blessed beyond measure for this opportunity to share love with these women through our simple handmade cards.

God can use any of us, in ways we never imagine and use our skills and/or talents to bless others.

He can use you, too!

HelloMornings Challenge: Advent Session

Advent is 6 days away from today! This is a 4-weeks season where we as Christians have been waiting for. The weeks when we devote our hearts, minds and attitude toward the day our Lord Jesus’ was born on. The weeks when we meditate God’s love, grace and joy He has given to us through His only begotten Son, Jesus.

My family is super excited with this season! We love to sit together after dinner, read the Advent Bible Reading with our daughters and I do Christmas crafts with them, too.

This is the season where we are not only sharing and spreading the joy through giving gifts to each other, but also, most important is that the season when we can rejoice in Him who loves us unconditionally by giving Jesus on Christmas day, knowing well in our hearts, minds and souls that He is with us. Immanuel.
