Christmas in February

What? Christmas in February? 😀 LOL… I am feeling Christmas spirit in February. Few weeks ago, I made cards for fund raising event that my husband and I had to help the people in Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia who lost their Bibles because of the flood water and mud hit my home town. These are 2 of 80 cards I made.

Both cards I made using Sparkle & Shine paper packet and complement elements. The stamp set I used from the Frosted Cardmaking Workshop On The Go Kit. Both kit retired from Close To My Heart.

First card I used the sketch from the Paper Players Challenge #184:

Supplies: Sparkle & Shine paper packet, White Daisy Cardstock, Recollections clear gems, Doodle Twine Christmas Collection from Doodlebug Designs, Tombow glue runner, glue dots.

Here’s the second one that I link it up this card at Christmas Cards Challenge #13 – Anything Goes:

Supplies: Sparkle & Shine paper packet, White Daisy Cardstock, Martha Stewart lace border punch, Nicole gems, Recollections clear gems, Tombow glue runner, Glue Dots, 3D Foam Tape.

And here’s one more Christmas card that I made using the sketch from Page Maps for Scrapping Everyday Miracles March Card Sketch Challenge:

I hope you enjoy my cards 🙂

Digital Friday: You & Me + 1

This is my second post today…. you can go here to read my first post…

This is week has been so rough for me. After heard about the flood that almost washed away my hometown last month, I got sad news from my family that my Uncle passed away unexpectedly. It was a very shocking news to all of us. And then last week 2 volcanoes erupted again in North Sumatra and Central Java caused thousands of peole lost their homes and families.

This just broke my heart.

I can only pray for them. Asking God to comfort my Aunt and cousins. Asking God protect the survivors and send helps.

I sat at my desk and went through our picture archive and realized that there are so many things I can praise God for.

Because He is God. He cares for us. He is faithful. He is too good for us.

I give thanks and praise for who He is.

I thank God for my husband. Honestly, we don’t have lots of pictures together, but we have some 🙂 and TONS of our girls’ pictures…

Valentine’s Day just passed but love is still in the air… I scrapped 2 layouts on us this week. First layout I used Jen C Designs new kit, Mad About You and Memory Maker Template Vol.1 (Feb Template Grab Bag):

And the second layout I used Pixelily Designs new kit, Collecting Moment – February and her template, At First Sight:

I am so thankful for our life together! And scrapping it is one way to remember God’s blessing in our life together.

And….. this is cute one is one of your labors of love… 😀 I used Jumpstart Designs new kit, Pieces of My Days and the template is from LorieM Designs for PBP February Template Challenge.

What’s your weekend plan?

I Am A Missionary

I found this video through my husband’s blog couple of days ago and I would love to share with you this encouraging and powerful video… It is only about 4 minutes long, would you please take time to watch it and pray?

I am a missionary…. to my children, to my next generations, to my family, to my neighborhood, to my city, to my country, to the nations.

I am a missionary through my every day life at home as stay-home-mom, through my words, through my work and even through my crafting and scrapbooking projects.

Me and my family are missionaries….

God created you and us to be missionaries. God created us to fulfill His plan. God crated us so that they will hear about Him, follow Him and worship Him. God created us for Him.

His calling is loud and clear. All we need is to listen and obey. All we need is to follow His footsteps to where He leads us.

He has called us to go to the people who have been waiting to hear the Good News.

“around 180 million people speaking 1,919 languages are understood to ‘likely need Bible translation to begin’. These estimates represent 1,576 languages with no known Scripture (98 million people) and 343 languages (81 million people) with some Scripture but no current activities in place.”

– Wycliffe Global Alliance

We are waiting to go, they are waiting…. for you and us.

“And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” ~ Romans 10:15, NLT

Would you answer this calling today?

Would you be the sender?

Would you be the goer?

When you pray and ask God how you can be the answer, check out these organizations and please be prayerfully to consider be their partners to bring the Gospel to the 180 million people:

Wycliffe Bible Translators

The Seed Company

End Bible Poverty
