Paper Pumpkin to the Rescue!

December goes so fast when you are having fun!

On Saturday I had a wonderful time meeting new friends at my new church Women's Christmas Brunch. I wanted to bring some cute gifts to my new friends, Praise Dance Team, which was performing on this event.

That's when Paper Pumpkin came to the rescue!





This was one for sure one of my favorite kits for Christmas.
Took me about 30-40 minutes and a couple of bags of York chocolates. 


Do you like kits?
Do you have a bunch of kits UNDONE...or you use kits regularly.



I am excited to keep using my Paper Pumpkin kits this year to tackle PARTICULARLY birthday cards! 



What's YOUR plan?



Small tip
cut your twine 6" or longer if you have chubby fingers, hehe!
Place in the mini clothespin, THEN make a knot and a bow! Easier when is all together.

Bits and Pieces of my December

Hello dear friends,

It has been a season of much giving. 

Giving is time consuming. Ha! So worth it thou.

Here a few photos of what my girls and I did together for Christmas. They had several friends they wanted to make cards for. I grabbed some left over materials I had from past years and they LOVED putting them together, punching, embellishing, adhering and stamping with me. 


I absolutely love that reindeer with the glittery bow!

My girls embellished everything with glitter punched stars and circles 
using glue dots. Oh what fun!

Most of the cardstock was already cut and embossed....getting back to those
UFO (Un-finished objects) was so rewarding.

My boy join us to write to his friends.

Seeing their little hands creating makes my heart leap!

More little hands.

My boy took some pictures of us working together.
I LOVE the non-staged photos. Simply being us!



What are you creating TOGETHER this Merry Christmas?


Creative Blessings,

Jessica Urrutia

God Pause, part two by Jan Hess

God Pause, part two

Finding ourselves on the threshold of the typically busiest, most chaotic time of the year, it seems providential that just last month you were introduced to “God Pause”, the Lord’s calming command spoken from the midst of overwhelming, unsettling times:  STOP. KNOW. I AM.   Some of you have recently come through overwhelming, unsettling times; some are finding yourselves stuck there; still others foresee them ahead.  A fresh read of Psalm 46 provides more encouragement for those who heed the call to “be still.” 
 
Have you noticed the repetitions in Psalm 46 which declare God’s continuous, reliable, uninterrupted presence? Check them out:
God is … verse 1
God is … verse 5
The Lord of Hosts is … verse 7
The God of Jacob is … verse 7
I Am … verse 10
The Lord of Hosts is … verse 11
The God of Jacob is … verse 11

 
mighty fortress.jpgEnglish grammar 101 taught us that the statement “God is…” refers to the present tense.  God right now.  After noting the repeats, I wondered, “How many times is that?”  Seven reminders of God’s present-ness!  Suddenly, I remember that the number seven is very noteworthy in God-matters!  STOP. KNOW. I AM. “What does He want me to see?”  A quick research reveals that “seven” appears over 280 times in the Bible, most of which are contexts of great significance.  Another question arises, “Where is its first appearance?” In the first book, of course.  Genesis. The Book of Beginnings.  “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”  And it took seven days:  six days of work and one day of rest. What I learned next really captured my heart:  the number seven denotes both spiritual perfection AND rest!  God completed His perfect creation in six days, crowning it with rest on the seventh.  Perfection AND rest evidenced in this spectacular seven-day event!  And even now, in all our events--pleasant or unpleasant, encouraging or discouraging, triumphant or tragic—our God is present in perfection and rest.  
 
Along with the psalmist, we declare in the third person “God is.”  But what does it mean when God interjects in the first person, “I AM”?  To hear the answer we need to listen with Moses’ ears!  When he encountered God in the burning bush and asked His name, God responded, “YHWH.”  In that four letter Hebrew word--for which there were no vowels--the LORD did not merely say, “I Am God Right Now.“  No!  He declared, “Who I was is Who I am and Who I will be.”  God-outside-of-time!  An eternal and forever present-tense-ness! 

 
We humans, confined to time, thinking and speaking in yesterdays, todays and tomorrows, are barely able to grasp this amazing truth about our God.  It is this facet of His character that gives us assurance that all our yesterdays and all our todays and all our tomorrows are known by Him, handled by Him, ordained by Him. The psalmist reminds us that this “not-limited-by-time” God is, was, and will be our Refuge…our Strength…our Fortress…our Help…our Center…our Stronghold…our Companion in our every moment.  The Always-and-Forever-Present One. 
  
What comforting news for us in the midst of our busyness or bitterness…in the pain of a troubled marriage or a fractured family…in the pressure of a demanding job or debilitating illness!   The Perfect God, the Great I Am, the God of Jacob, the Lord of Hosts, is with us!  Let’s praise Him!
Lord, You are the One who was, the One who is and the One who always will be.  You are the same yesterday, today and forever.  The Perfect One, the Rest-giving One.  Today I choose to surrender all that I am to all that You are.  I REST in You, trusting that You are in the midst of every detail of my life and are using each situation to PERFECT me by, in and through Your grace.  In the busyness, in the chaos, in the restlessness, I choose to pause in You;  To STOP. KNOW. I AM.

Lights Shine Brights


Did you see yesterday card? The inspiration behind THAT card was the same behind this one. 

Don't you love to hear Words of His unfailing Love? Words that remind you of who you are and what you are supposed to be doing?
Well, SHINE! 
Because THAT is what you and I are called to do!



Matthew 5:14 says,
14You are the light of theworld. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.…


Try making this card or yesterday's.
Both follow the same style! Working on the instructions....and video! Stay tune.

Inspired by Light Shine Bright by Toby Mac

One wonderful thing kids bring into your life is absolutely different styles and perspectives of what beauty is. My youngest child, my boy, has chosen music groups I never paid much attention to and to my surprise have been such a blessing!

Here this song resonates in my heart so often I ended up creating a card with its main word. SHINE! 

I've been exploring different ways to showcase my alphabet stamp sets. I have several, old and new that I really like. 

Do you have a well-loved alphabet set?
Is time to get it out and use it sending Words of Life! 
Yes, use your card-making power to connect with others and remind them how amazing they are.

The song below inspired this card...is from Toby Mac, my boy's favorite singer. So cool we got to see him in a concert back in September at the Bloomsburg Fair in PA.
Click Image to PLAY song video, enjoy!



Check tomorrow's post for instructions on making this card. 


Do NOT hide! "You cannot hide what was meant to stand out" ~heard this on a preview to the movie Wonder. It spoke loud to me. 

Stand out in whatever the Lord called you to do! It will bring Him glory and will make your heart happy too!




Little by little moving forward believing God.
 I discovered few weeks ago, God gave me Stampin'Up! to make me happy...
can you even fathom that?
Sometimes we THINK way too lofty and "spiritual"....forgetting the God we serve desires to bless (makes happy, prosperous, great!) us in diverse ways. 

Stampin'Up! is one of my many blessings!
Share below what is one blessing God gave you that surprised you?

My goal is for His name to be Praised! 
My measurable goal is not my sales or events, but YOUR COMMENTS, you connecting with me testifying of His love, of how this or another post blessed or inspired you, you speaking out His goodness! So share below! :)
