Chevron It Is What It Is

It is what it is,

isn't it though?

Ha!

I love this phrase, 'CAUSE IT'S TRUE,

so I was THRILLED to see it in a collection of labels in my Silhouette Cameo library.

The clothing tag HAD to be featured~how could I NOT use it??!!

Stamp a few chevron lines and I'm done.

Verve Chevron Chic Diva Challenge.

I love being me right now...

"It is what it is"

more importantly...

I know God created me just as I am (and designed you as you) and He uses it for His glory.

In our weaknesses, He is strong~

AMEN?!

Die Cut Layers

I had some crafty time yesterday and bloggy time today.

Married some die cuts and inlaid some too...

I was inspired by the super star card at

CASE Study Challenge #186

Jaclyn Miller - April Muse

I figured one layered die focal point could be effective too!

I changed the colors,patterns and used a different sentiment for a softer look here.

My blessed sentiment looks way darker than it does in person...not sure what that is about...but I was aiming for the hues at the

Color Throwdown #287.

Once again, I count any crafty day a blessed day for me...I love being able to have some marlena creative time.

I pray you get your crafty time in too!

On top of that....I love and appreciate you bloggy friends ~ what would I do without you?

I learn from you...am inspired by you...and am encouraged by you.

Thank you challenges....cardmakers....stamp companies and papercraft companies...for hanging in there and continuing on with this cardmaking business.
