I hope that you enjoyed your day off yesterday. I am back to work today, but it's Thursday so no complaining from me. :-)
Today, I am sharing the 3rd card of 5 that I have created for Jackson's Digital Expression. I have truly been enjoying posting these creations and I hope that you have enjoyed seeing them. In the famous words of Dorothy, "There's no place like home." I was born and raised in Michigan; however, my heart is in the south. I am so inspired when I go down south to visit my family. I come from a family of singers (excluding myself) so when we go down south my mom, aunts, sisters and cousins go to my uncle church and they "sang." We have so much fun!
The image that I used to create this card is called "Country Church House" and it reminds me of my uncle's church. It actually sits on stilts that stretch out to the water. When I was a little girl I thought we would get to praising God so tough that it would tip over into the lake. lol
Here's my card...

| Country Church House |
I stamped a scripture on the card using a stamp from CTMH and it is so appropriate, because it reads...
Come unto me,
all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. ~Matt 11:28
What an awesome promise that God gives us through this scripture. No matter what we are going through, there is a place where you can rest in him. I hope that you will continue to check back in here and over on JDE's blog to see my next two creations using the July new release images. :-)

ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks again :>) I already went shopping!!!
Beautiful card, reminds me of the 'Church in the Wildwood' song I loved when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteWow Candy, what a wonderful card this is. Brings back so many memories here in Alabama when I was just a girl going to church. Our church looked just like that but was white and no stained glass windows. But was on stilts and had the trees around it. We even sang that song in church, "yea that labor and are heavy laden..." Ohh, the memories your card brought back to me of a time so long ago. This brought a tear to my eyes. Thanks so much for doing this wonderful card so if only for a moment I was that young girl again. God Bless You, my friend. Sassy
