COMFORT

Hey, everyone!

I am back with another SCRAPBOOK PAGE! This week I have been featuring stamping in my scrapbooking! It's a wonderful way to get more mileage out of your supplies and a very cost-effective way to get just the look you want! Of course today is Wednesday and you know that Christina and I do a Scrapbook Challenge each week. We're on week 14 already! The word for the week is COMFORT and I had a big challenge...trying to limit the number of scriptures I would use on my page!

Comfort is such a great word but it can mean different things to different people. For the one who struggles with weight gain, it might mean eating your favorite foods to feel better. For the person who is mourning, it might mean easing the heartache from losing someone dear. Commercials even toss the word around: Lazy Boy recliners logo says: "Comfort. It's what we do." Another commercial begs for comfort from a Milky Way candy bar, which again can tie into the comfort foods. I am thankful that I don't have to rely on a food or recliner to comfort me. The Spirit of God is what brings me comfort and reading the Word of God helps to ease the pain of losing loved ones, heal the hurt I feel and make me rest easy in a troubling time!

The scriptures I chose are: Psalm 23:4, Matthew 5:4, and Romans 15:4 but there are so many more that I love! I hope you will be blessed with these scriptures. Just click on each scripture to read them online!

The size of my scrapbook page is 8½" x 11" and I just used some paper and alphabet stickers in my scrapbook stash. I liked the colors. I wrote out my scriptures instead of printing them on the computer. I had a stamp of hands folded in prayer that I stamped in burnt umber ink. It used to be a wood mounted stamp and I removed it from the block, attached it to our Creative Cling and it stamps so nice now! I colored the sleeves in with my blue Stardust Glitter Gel Pen. The top right hand box has some circles stamped from the Circle Sampler stamp set. The ink is Palette Hybrid Water Lily Green and Palette Hybrid Reflection Blue. The cross behind the scriptures are in Reflection Blue and the cross alone is in Burnt Umber. Do you know what stamp set from The Angel Company I used for the cross? Scriptybet! Yep, that's right....an alphabet stamp! LOL I love how the "t" makes a beautiful cross! I just stamped off once so the color wouldn't be so bold behind the scriptures and I love the effect! This is just one more way you can add some color and design to your scrapbook pages without costing a lot of money! Give it a try and let me know what you think. Don't forget to check out Christina's page and let her know what you think about her scrapbook page.

Come back tomorrow to see my SCRAMPING PART 2 post and then Friday I will have some fun things to share with you, lots of specials and some photos!!!

Hugs,
