Word of the Week: Believe

A new journal to record my word studies.

Believe: to have faith or trust. As I was working on this word this week I was again amazed at how many times that word came into my life. I should have taken count. I decided to make my journal with "believe" on the front to remind me to keep my faith and trust the Lord always. I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. II Timothy 1:12

Layered Labels Go Winter

Making Layered Labels: Use two shapes from the Mixed Shapes Dimensional Elements. Using BTP cut each shape with the matching cricut shape. Cover each dimensional element and layer two shapes together. Decorate with coordinating embellishments. For my winter layered labels I covered each shape with Wonderland BTP and embellished with Icing Overlays and Rhinestone Designer Brads. 

Each layered label can be used on a card, gift bag, gift box, scrapbook page, or a 3-D project

Layered label accents a post-it clippy board.

 

Layered label accents the cover of a shopping list notepad.

Layered label accents the front of my prayer journal.
