(In) Courage - A Moment to Breathe - Day 241

Hey there!
I hope your day is going great.

In today's online class I worked on Day 241 in the 

Heather's Hobbie Haven - A Moment to Breathe - Day 241

Today's verse was 
Ephesians 4:1-3 
But I had already done that page and a tip in so I did a Google search on Bible Verse: Peace 
and came up with...

Numbers 6:26
The Lord turns his face toward you and gives you peace.

Today's story is about peace.

The kids are at grandma's house and you are home being all kinds of productive.
You have a whole list of things you are going to do.
Then tonight when the kids are back we will have a family dinner and game night!

Then the kids come home early from grandma's.
So much for getting all those things done.
Then one child does something not so great and the other one doesn't do something you ask them to do.

All of a sudden you lose your peace and patients right in the middle of the kitchen.
The family dinner and game night don't go so well.

You go to bed feeling guilty and ashamed.
Guilt convinces you are a terrible, horrible, no-good parent who has permanently damaged your children.
Shame points it's finger at you and tells you that you are the worst parent ever.

In the past, I would have shaken hands with guilt and shame and agreed with them.
But I'm different I know the difference between conviction and condemnation.
Condemnation says: You are never going to change.
Conviction says: All you need to do is apologize and ask for forgiveness.

So the next morning I stand on God's conviction and apologize and ask my kids to forgive me.
Later we have a much different dinner and family game night. 

I don't know about you but for me, nothing throws me off more than having plans and then having them interrupted.
Planning on getting all this stuff done and then getting nothing done.

Like doing a Bible journaling video.
I planned on doing it yesterday but that didn't happen.
Lexie decided it would be a hang on mom's leg all week kind of week.
So, of course, I was cranky and not so fun.
In the end, it didn't matter.
God showed me a quick and easy way.

Video - Watercolor Beautiful Heart Flowers

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Watercolor Flowers

Today I'm trying out the new Altenew Watercolor Set.


I didn't mask my flowers or leaves I just carefully wiped the extra ink away with my finger before stamping.

I then die cut the Thanks from Gold Glitter cardstock.

The "a million" sentiment is from the 
The sentiment actually said, "Thanks a Million" I just wiped the thanks part off before stamping with Versamark ink.

Make sure to always use embossing power prep tool before stamping.
This will keep the embossing powder from sticking everywhere else.

I trimmed the card front down to fit on a 
4.25 x 5.5 Fig Swirl card base.
This is a nice light gray color.

I used foam tape to pop up the image and the "A Million" sentiment.

I then added some yellow and clear sequins to add some sparkle.

I think the Altenew Water Color set is a good investment.
Something you will use many times.

(In) Courage - A Moment to Breathe - Day 234

Hey there!
I hope your day is going great.

In today's online class I worked on Day 227 in the 

Heather's Hobbie Haven - A Moment to Breathe - Day 234

 Galatians 6:6
Let the one who is taught the word share all his good things with the teacher.

Today's story is about teachers.

Teachers play a powerful role in our lives.
Do you have a remembered teacher?
One who stood out?
One who went above and beyond?

I did.

How about the one you don't think of fondly.
Do you have one of those?

I do.

Teachers can play an important part in our children's lives.
They spend hours with them 4-5 days a week.

How can you bless the teacher of your child?
May a batch of cookies or a coffee gift card.
Maybe a handmade journal.
It's the little things that count.

I know it's still summer but
it's time to start Christmas card kits

44 kits in all.
That will be it unless I see one or two I have to do.
Otherwise, they will go into next years to be colored pile.

Our first Christmas card kit features a 
Whimsy Stamps image
Garden Gnome

Isn't she cute?
This would make a beautiful card for any occasion not just for Christmas like I've used it.

The sentiment is from the 
CC Designs Jolly Christmas Sentiment set.
It doesn't come in the kit.
I stamped that one sentiment on the tag for you.
I no longer have this set in the store but you can pick up
Both would be great to add to your Christmas card this year and they are 50% off.

(In) Courage - A Moment to Breathe - Day 227

Hey there!
I hope your day is going great.

In today's online class I worked on Day 227 in the 
(In)Courage A Moment to Breathe 365 day devotional.


Heather's Hobbie Haven - A Moment to Breathe - Day 227

Daniel 3:17
If the God we serve exists, then he can rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire, and he can rescue us from the power of you, the king

Today's story is about grief.

A mother has lost her young son to death.
How can this be?
She says to her friend "Remind me who God is".
It's hard to remember who God is when you have lost everything you hold dear.

Death. Divorce. Illness.
All these things cause doubt.
It's ok to doubt.
Even Daniel's three friends had doubt.
"But even if he does not rescue us, we want you a king to know that we will not serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up"
(Daniel 3:18)

But even if he doesn't...
You can know this.
He has not left your side.
He is there, walking beside us, weeping with us.
Because He loves us.
Always and forever.

Gift Card Holder - Beatrice's Crayon & Bauregard's Pencil

Hello there!

I hope you are enjoying a beautiful day.

I thought we would try something new for our card kit this time.

With school about to start, I thought we could do a gift card holder card.
What teacher wouldn't love a coffee gift card to start the year?
Wait it doesn't have to be for just teachers.
A friend maybe or someone you want to say thank you too.

There is plenty of room inside to stamp a sentiment or write something special.
