In August we talked about challenges and how we deal with them. Several had been having some trials in their lives and so we took time to reflect on some of that.My pages that I chose I tried to keep upbeat. Because even when we have trials, we can still have joy and/or blessing can still come during and from those times. We also discussed how we are never alone as God is always with us. :)
My one page I copied the idea from the Stampin' Up! catalog for the most part but the
other side I just made up to go with it.The saying on the top picture says, "If at first you do succeed try not to look astonished." The other is a quote from John lennon that says, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." Both I thought were fitting when it comes to challenges. One because life does happen no matter what and I know lots of people that have been astonished when something worked out. That saying always brings a smile to my face, because I've seen it happen more then once.
The main sets used on this was the Eastern Blooms stamp set and the Full of Life stamp set. I cut out some of the flowers and punched out some of the others. The main colors were Crumb Cake, marina Mist, Perfect Plum and Concord Crush. The ribbon and some of the words were also in Pear Pizazz.
Hope you enjoy the pages and always remember God is with you and loves you. Hope you have a great day.
