SSIC92.......It's gotta be new

Good morning on this beautiful Sunday morning that the Lord has made!!! Stamping friends, are you ready for a new Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge? This week it is Linda's turn, who is also know as LovelyLinda. Linda has chosen this fabulous scripture


A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:34-35

and the challenge is to

Use something new on your project - it can be a new product, technique, embellishment - even a color combo that is new to you - show us what you got!!

The scripture Linda chose is a very powerful one and always reminds me that if I want to make it to heaven I have to show love to every one!!!! Yes, everyone, I can't have hate in my heart if I want to make it to heaven. God is not asking us anything that is impossible....he never did and he never will, it is up to us how we apply his word to our life and how we treat each other. Can you image that when it is your time to go to heaven and you are standing at heavens gate and you are not allowed in? You begin to wonder and possibly even throw a fit...saying that you lived a good Christian life and did all that was asked of you, but God says...there was one little tiny thing that you did not do, you did not love your neighbor or your co-worker or even one of your family members. Love is such an easy thing to do, it does not cost anything...all you've got to do is GIVE it! Sometimes it just needs to be that you open the door for someone or simply give a smile. This is a new day try to show some love and I guarantee you that God will bless you!!

Are you ready now to see what I came up with for this challenge? I actually got to use a brand new stamp set called "Serve the Lord" by ODBD, a new Spellbinders die Fleur De Lis Squares, and dies cuts from a new Cricut cartridge I just got the other day called Cindy Loo (I know it is not new on the market, but it is new to me ;D) and last but not least this wonderful and super beautiful pin I bought on clearance.  Don't you just love when your card  serves two purposes? I have a card and a gift all in one.....love it!!!
