Let him sleep...

When I saw this free (yes, I said free!), digital stamp on Dustin Pike's blog I immediately knew what I wanted to use it for. I've had a quote in mind for over a year now that I've wanted to use on some kind of picture for my son's room. I could never quite find the right format or images. When I saw this adorable bear, I knew it was perfect!!


I cut out the "cloud" image by hand and stickled along the edge. I also stickled the craters on the moon. I colored the bear and star with my Bic Write-It markers. I stamped Colson's name in white craft ink using my SU "Big Deal Alphabet" stamp set.

I am going to frame this and hang it in my son's room. I LOVE the quote. I think it is so perfect for Colson! He is an absolutely amazing kid! He is such a gift from God. Everytime I see this phrase I think about all that he is going to do in his life! I'm SO very thankful! :)

Creator - A God who answers prayer!

I decided to do an 8x8 scrapbook page for this challenge in addition to the ATC. (I'm determined to make a whole set!)

I used twine to attach the buttons and create a sort of border along the edge of the picture. I added the circle phrase to the top button so that I could tie in my theme of a Creator who blesses us and hears our prayers.

When I think about God as our creator and how He loves us so much that He created the whole world for us, I think about my son. I am so grateful for him! We didn't think we could even have kids, and then Colson came along!

After praying for seven years to blessed with children, I figured that God did not intend for us to be parents. I wasn't terribly upset. I reminded myself that God works everything for our good. I just thought that my good did not include children. Within a few months I found out I was pregnant!!

We haven't stopped rejoicing since!!

I am so thankful for a creator who loves us and doesn't stop blessing us! Even in spite of ourselves!!
