scrapbooking your faith - may - church family

These were our May Scrapbooking Your Faith pages. We focused on what a difference church makes in our lives and also what a difference our church families make in our lives.
The church I just hand drew and cut out the various pieces. Then used those to create more. The clouds are punched scallop ovals. The door is just smaller then a circle punch and slide through to round the top. It's also stamped with the woodgrain background stamp and then I added a gold brad to make a doorknob. The grass is just the pinking hearts border punch.
I stamped a couple of sayings - one is the definition of inspire. The other one says, "The greatest gift is a portion of thyself - Ralph Waldo Emerson". I thought that fit- one because Christ died and gave his all to us. Also as we serve in our church environments we also give of our time and talents and in doing so get a great blessing in return - like a gift. It makes for a great reminder I think and we can also share how much our church and our church family means to us, which is a cool memory to scrap too.



The main colors used are Bashful Blue, Always Artichoke, Night of Navy, whisper White, Basic Black, oh and Chocolate chip for the door. Inks were Bashful, Navy and Chocolate (for the door) and Sahara Sand (to ink the edges of the church with a dauber). I also used an Artichoke marker to add little grass pieces to the green grass, which are hard to see in the photo. So I hope you enjoy the share today and gives you another great idea of a memory to scrap about.
