Bible Verse Calendar 2010 Available

I wanted to finish my ‘Faithbook’ I started, by Christmas. This didn’t happen 😳 . You know, you have to weigh how you spend your free time. Mostly I spend ‘refueling’, reading my Bible, praying…

Oh, and I worked on my photography skills. I shot a few photos – 12,178 to be exact. Since I had so many photos (some good, some not so good, some really bad), I thought that I create an inspirational calendar for 2010.

You can get your own copy if you are interested 😛 . The cost is $20 (including shipping within the US). I am offering this calendar not for personal financial gain. Any proceeds from this calendar will go to “Samaritan’s Purse“. Not only will you get a handcrafted inspirational calendar, but also help others.

Here are some sample pages of the calendar…The first page is the cover:

Cover_Calendar 2010

The next page is from the month of March (which is actually my personal favorite):

March_2010

Here is the last page of the calendar (did you know that the first Advent candle stands for “HOPE”? Thus the Scripture passage from Romans):

December_2010

BTW, there will be no logo on the real calendar. Also, the calendar has some Christian holiday I added, for example “National Day of Prayer”. The verses are taking from the ESV (English Standard Version). The materials I used are from Mystique Designs, Lily Designs, MAG Designs, Newlife Dreams, and Michelle Pieters.

So, if you are interested in the calendar, all you have to do is leave a comment (make sure you leave a valid email address so I can contact you) or use my contact form (again with valid email address).

Thanks for stopping by today…

Faithbook ~ The Letter ‘N’



Faithbook_Nailing, originally uploaded by eph2810.

I know, I haven’t shared my progress on my Faithbook project. I thought to share my “N” page with you…Let me know what you think.

Now I am getting into the ‘hard’ letters (although “T” is already done). You see, I have to ‘feel’ the page — the photo, the color scheme, etc. I do have a gazillion photos, but the photo really needs to go with the Scripture passage – KWIM?

The materials I used for this particular page are by Galiscrap available at Digital Crea; the font is ‘Parade’ and the photo (of course) is by me.

I do hope that I can finish the Faithbook within the next couple of weeks so I can have it printed before Christmas….

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a blessed weekend…

Desktop November 2009

November – wow!!! 2009 is flying by…some days I don’t know what happened this past year. Maybe I need to sit down to write out what 2009 was all about.

One thing I know for sure is that the Lord has been faithful. Do be honest, sometimes it is hard to wait patiently on the Lord. I still like to run in front of Him. Looking back over the past year I can honestly say that when I waited, things turned out for the better.

Lord of Heaven and Earth. Help me to be more like Your servant David. Help me to wait patiently. Only You can give me comfort and peace. Lord, help me to be more encouraging to others. You are my rock, my redeemer. In the precious name of Jesus ~ Amen…

If you are interested in downloading the desktop for your computer, please click on the photo above. It will take you directly to my Flickr account and you should be able to download it from there. The materials are by Newlife Dreams Design available at Shabby Pickle. The photo I took this past Spring at the Salt River — looks different when you have a went spring 😉 .

Have a super blessed weekend. See you on Thursday 🙂

Desktop of October 2009



Desktop_October_2009, originally uploaded by eph2810.

Ah, yes…October is just around the corner and I finished the desktop for the up-coming month.
As I was searching through my photos to come up with a theme for this month, I came across a photo I took in Miami (Arizona). There is a church with a beautiful prayer garden. Not sure if you can see in this small version of the photo…on top you can see a foot…guess WHO’s …

Peace is something that I can only get when I am close to Him…He truly gives me a peace that this world can not give. If you are pulled in so many directions, or you loose heart, remember His words from John 14:27…

The kit I used is by Newlife Dreams Designs called “Autumn Splendor“. If you are into scrapping, I suggest to check out this kit…It is huge, and the papers alone are amazing!!!! The photo action I found at PanosFX.com – totally love it!!!!! I believe that this action is also available for PS Elements.

Okay, enough babbling…I hope you enjoy my October Desktop. If you click on the photo, it will take you to my Flickr Page. Again, this is created for a wide-screen monitor. If the size does not work for you, let me know and I will re-size it for you (just let me know in the comment section)

Thanks for stopping by today…Be blessed today and always…
