Welcome to the Be-Attitudes Faith Blog Hop! Every month we choose a theme with which to honor Christ and become closer to Him. We then create a project to reflect that theme and boldly post it on our blogs so that the whole world sees that even our talents belong to Him! This month we have chosen the Beatitudes found on Mathew 5:3:12 and we invite you to hop through our blogs to see the Lord’s Glory manifested through the work of our hands and the stories He has written in our lives. If you arrived from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/181977355182333/doc/233065083406893/www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com">www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com</a>, you are in the right place. If you just happened to land here, make sure that you hop on over to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/181977355182333/doc/233065083406893/www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com">www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com</a> to begin the journey. Know that we have been praying for you and hope that the Lord would bring you just a bit closer to Himself…<br />
<br />
In Matthew 5:3-12 we find the well known Beatitudes. This portion of Scripture is very peculiar because every statement begins with “Blessed are those…” and yet the attribute that is mentioned right after is NOT something desirable before the eyes of the world.<br />
<br />
<b>Look at the list of attributes along with the blessed reward:</b><br />
Poor in spirit: Kingdom of Heaven<br />
Mourn: comfort<br />
Meek: inherit the earth<br />
Hunger and thirst for righteousness: will be filled<br />
Merciful: will be shown mercy to<br />
Pure in heart: will see God<br />
Peacemakers: called children of God<br />
Persecuted because of righteousness: kingdom of heaven<br />
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you<br />
<br />
If we were to be honest, we would all say that none of us would like to be considered poor in spirit, or be caught in the midst of mourning. Meekness is considered a sign of weakness and in America Hunger and Thirst for righteousness is replaced by hunger and thirst for worldly acceptance. It is very difficult to be merciful and pure in heart for our hearts are always seeking to satisfy our own needs; and we are not willing to make peace if that peace requires that we would submit to someone else’s authority. We do not want to be made fun of, or persecuted, or bad mouthed… Yet all of these things the LORD calls blessed!<br />
<br />
The reason why they are Blessed is because only when we have these attitudes can we truly see ourselves for who we are and God for who He is. Only when we see the depravity of our being and the sin that enslaves us, can we be set free by the only ONE that is Pure and Holy! May He grant us the privilege of being called BLESSED by Him because in us are found the Be-Attitudes.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #3d85c6;">With this in mind I can say that I have spent about three weeks experiencing all of these attitudes, not realizing that the Lord was trying to test to see whether I truly believed that experiencing difficulties on earth means I am blessed. May I say that for a very long time it did not feel like I was blessed! When I stopped and looked back at my life without Christ, and the thoughts and fears that overtook me then - I got to SEE how blessed I have really been since I met Jesus. There is a renewed gratefulness in my heart and a huge appreciation for what the Lord has done. He promises to give a sound mind, and indeed this He gave! I ask the Lord to keep that in the forefront of my life, so that I may never forget that the Hands that made me are truly FAITHFUL!</div><br />

Welcome to the God's Promises Faith Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Paper Tree House Studio you are in the right place. If you just arrived at my blog, you should go to Paper Tree House Studio (<a _mce_href="www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com" href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/181977355182333/doc/www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com">www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com</a>) in order to start at the beginning. <br />
<br />
Every month a group of brave women get together to showcase the Glory of God. This month we want to showcase His faithfulness during trying times, so kick back, relax and let the Lord touch your heart with His Truth!<br />
<br />
Did you know that there are 1260 promises in the Bible? I did not count them myself, but am blown away by the fact that each and every promise the Lord gives, He is faithful to fulfill. It is pretty easy to believe this when times are easy and abundance surrounds our lives, but is that the same when trouble hits?<br />
<br />
The Bible says that our hearts are deceitful above all things and then it adds WHO CAN TRUST IT? Have you ever considered that maybe the reason why we don't trust God is because we spend more time looking at how big the waves in our lives have become and forget that God created the entire UNIVERSE with just His breath... Think about it, the Lord spoke the ENTIRE World into existence... the only thing created that was made with His hands was man and woman. That is why He says that if He provides for the birds and the plants, how much more to His children? You are precious to the Lord and He will not fail you, even when it feels He might.<br />
<br />
In this hop you will read the stories of women like you that have faced trouble and probably even lacked the faith to believe in the miracle the Lord performed at the very end! Our prayer is that you would open your heart to the Truth found in these promises and that you would even share with us what God has done in your life. Your victory may become our hope... :)<br />
<br />
During the hop you will find many chances to win prizes! All you have to do to be considered for one of those prizes is leave a comment and become a follower of the blogs you will hop through. For the Grand Prizes , make sure to leave a comment, become a follower, and "LIKE" Paper Tree House on Facebook. This will allow you to find out about future hops we will be having. <br />

If you are anything like me, it is very easy to believe that God can love others, that He wants to answer the prayers of the other faithful women, that He is able to protect and secure others... but not ME! It was not until I experienced a very difficult season in my life, (a season where I disliked someone so much I literally told the Lord I did not want to go to Heaven if this person would be there), that I actually sensed the shadow of His Wings over me.<br />
<br />
Just like in the picture of my layout, I felt defenseless, surrounded by water I could not swim and completely vulnerable even before the Lord! I knew what I was feeling was sin and that therefore I deserved to be scorched by my problems, but instead I experienced the loving hand of my Father carrying me and protecting me. Somehow the Lord brought me to realize that His shadow was over me and because of His faithfulness (in spite of my unfaithfulness) I would not burn or drown! Since then I believe the impossible because I experienced it! May you encounter Him in this way this week... :)<br />
<br />
I would love to bless you with a special goody bag, so please leave me a comment with your own experiences with the Lord. I will be choosing one blessed winner. :)<br />
<br />
To continue hopping go on over to <a href="http://www.fromme2upapercrafting.blogspot.com/"><b>Tammy's Blog</b> http://www.fromme2upapercrafting.blogspot.com/</a> and make sure you leave her some love! :)<br />
<br />
Thanks for hopping through this faith hop. Know that we are praying for you and really hope your eyes are opened to the Truth about the Lord's Faithfulness! :)<br />
<br />
Love in Christ,<br />

This is how the hop works:<br />
Below you will find the list of the beautiful and brave women that are ready to show their weaknesses in order that you may see His strength. :) Follow the line-up and please leave some love throughout the way.

Now let's get the hop started! :)<br />
<br />
The woman described in Proverbs 31 seems to be perfect! She works hard for her family, keeps up with the house, makes sure that the entire family is fed, is respected by others and her husband, and the list goes on... It can be very overwhelming to try to attain her status- which leaves many of us feeling as though we do not amount to God's standards. If you are anything like me, you too have felt as though there is always something that is just not right in your womanhood. Maybe you are not sweet enough, or neat enough, or submissive enough, or clean enough... Whatever label you do not amount to it can leave you feeling overwhelmed and discouraged.<br />
<br />
God did not put this part of Scripture in the Bible so that we would draw away from Him filled with shame due to our incapacity to do what He expects of us. On the contrary, I have become every day more certain that He inspired these words because He wants to show us His Grace. The truth is: we all fall short of the Glory of God and there is not even one that is good amongst us. He KNEW this when He made us and when He decided to save us- and in this He loved us.<br />
<br />
The proverbs 31 woman is meant to be a reminder of how much we need Christ! God desires that we would be women like the one portrayed there, and He knew that these areas would be our weaknesses, so He gave us this map of virtues so that we would not conform to the world but allow Him to transform us. The Bible teaches that in our weaknesses He is strong! My prayer is that you would allow the Lord to show you those areas where you indeed fail so that in turn you would learn to be mesmerized by His great strength. You will be doing things you never imagined when you fully rely on Him. In Him you already are the Proverbs 31 Woman you so desire to be. May He show you that truth today as He heals you from all insecurities.<br />

I have struggled so much this month with accepting the truths the Lord says about who I am as a woman. Being a mom of two children under the age of 4, owning a business, being a teacher, and trying to be an artist can become very overwhelming. I end up feeling worn, torn, and exhausted - not at all like the woman found in Proverbs 31. But as I sat to create my project, the Lord gave me a beautiful image of how He sees me: He whispered tenderly in my ear "you are worth far more than ruby!". It is truly a privilege to be able to be called the daughter of the ultimate King of kings! The One that cares enough about the little things because He knows that we live our lives here - in the little so that in turn He can be seen as He is: HUGE! May you too see how you are made to be worth far more than rubies! :)<br />

We had to create a project using product from both of these companies and I truly had a blast!! :)<br />
<br />
Here is what I created:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRjLD1X-eF6hLKQ_z2iFUiuB4kDUW08xqVRbKI_guG_QZxETwe6xjszbHfOvlgzaic_adRwC7TeqhH2z_qBqjf4iLxZV63eIHakw0oFSPyF9k6yOqvpUhIsUJ6pDUckzA3_Tw1xhxYfAcr/s1600/layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRjLD1X-eF6hLKQ_z2iFUiuB4kDUW08xqVRbKI_guG_QZxETwe6xjszbHfOvlgzaic_adRwC7TeqhH2z_qBqjf4iLxZV63eIHakw0oFSPyF9k6yOqvpUhIsUJ6pDUckzA3_Tw1xhxYfAcr/s320/layout.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
To make this I started off by peeling the awesome Punky Sprouts Playground Corrugated Cardboard.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg848eIvRotcNgOnocnAYLaNTyoQTYihw8_Dhpu-9OD2223ZVLntxGOU1xb9yLE-xIB7mSA3vlnGbfbxnjx6kzHFvcnYe6A8I5kpE23mTygGeohuHWk9J0Ix4ph6R586VbtalBVkOkyP8mV/s1600/playgroundpeeled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg848eIvRotcNgOnocnAYLaNTyoQTYihw8_Dhpu-9OD2223ZVLntxGOU1xb9yLE-xIB7mSA3vlnGbfbxnjx6kzHFvcnYe6A8I5kpE23mTygGeohuHWk9J0Ix4ph6R586VbtalBVkOkyP8mV/s320/playgroundpeeled.jpg" width="319" /></a></div><br />
This is such a versatile surface! You can use it to create your own covers, mini-books, or a typical layout with lots of texture.<br />
<br />
After I peeled the Playground, I used gesso and some mists to add some colors to my background.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjARSn6RSnmSz9IAeO3ekXny-siQnuFpFIGtxcmw-rWnJNrifC5G3OQUZGiDnMRDRuqZBo9B2QdnaG-232nkKyYuHRG84LsHcQanb8Du0W1nQdupWwqrPt5X550bFD81RMCWStk5jK5OC8I/s1600/spritz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjARSn6RSnmSz9IAeO3ekXny-siQnuFpFIGtxcmw-rWnJNrifC5G3OQUZGiDnMRDRuqZBo9B2QdnaG-232nkKyYuHRG84LsHcQanb8Du0W1nQdupWwqrPt5X550bFD81RMCWStk5jK5OC8I/s320/spritz.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Using my scissors I cut the blue waves out of the blue TaDA paper. Using a punch I created the scallops of the striped paper to then layer all of it with a curled ribbon to add dimension.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkNg3P3NuQR-DgDN84dezT7Vb1BZNCxPrtlH3bXAfwRKcwKUkd2co9J5QrBHwxZeeBS9dZKREEDtcCbGaaI4eOY5fTK2EtpnogXjJIUYAHjoxysC5P2ZDAQ7MjNsqbRHEe57vf9MJUVEIz/s1600/paint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkNg3P3NuQR-DgDN84dezT7Vb1BZNCxPrtlH3bXAfwRKcwKUkd2co9J5QrBHwxZeeBS9dZKREEDtcCbGaaI4eOY5fTK2EtpnogXjJIUYAHjoxysC5P2ZDAQ7MjNsqbRHEe57vf9MJUVEIz/s320/paint.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>Here is a close up: <br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>TaDa has such beautiful and detailed patterned paper that it was easy to create your own embellishments by cutting the images from the papers. That is how I got my rainbow and clouds. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRjLD1X-eF6hLKQ_z2iFUiuB4kDUW08xqVRbKI_guG_QZxETwe6xjszbHfOvlgzaic_adRwC7TeqhH2z_qBqjf4iLxZV63eIHakw0oFSPyF9k6yOqvpUhIsUJ6pDUckzA3_Tw1xhxYfAcr/s1600/layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRjLD1X-eF6hLKQ_z2iFUiuB4kDUW08xqVRbKI_guG_QZxETwe6xjszbHfOvlgzaic_adRwC7TeqhH2z_qBqjf4iLxZV63eIHakw0oFSPyF9k6yOqvpUhIsUJ6pDUckzA3_Tw1xhxYfAcr/s320/layout.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Finally, I added the pictures and the rest of the embellishments... :)<br />

Welcome to another Faith Blog Hop presented to you by Paper Tree House Studio! If you have been following the hop then you should be arriving here from the <a href="http://www.mypapertreehouse.com/">Paper Tree House</a> blog. If you just came across this hop, then go to Paper Tree House to catch the beginning of the hop.<br />
<br />
</div>Every month a group of bold women gather to make the Name of the Lord famous and to share the talents we have been given by Him. We also like to share a little bit of Truth that we have learned from the Bible and/or a bit about how He has impacted our lives. This month the theme is “The Fruit of the Spirit”.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
As Christians we are expected to demonstrate the Fruit of the Spirit because the Spirit of God abides in us. In Galatians 5:22-23 we find the following definition: <span style="color: magenta;">“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”</span> There are many misconceptions about this fruit. People look at the list of attributes and they are convinced that God has not given them one of the “fruits”, and so they live with remaining sin and a sense of defeat in certain areas of their lives.<br />
<br />
If you look at the passage again you will notice that the word FRUIT is NOT plural. It is only ONE fruit, so if the Spirit of the Lord abides in you, then the attributes that characterize the Spirit live there as well. If you are not experiencing one of the characteristic of His Spirit in your life, pray that the Lord would cleanse you and purify you. He is into the business of completing those He saves. My prayer is that you would draw near to the Lord and that He in turn will draw near to you…<br />
<br />
The same way that the Lord blesses those He loves we want to bless you. We have found an amazing line-up of sponsors and we want to share with you what you could win by hopping around with us:<br />

</div><div style="color: magenta;">I have decided that my books are to reflect the Truth. :) On the last page of this book, my intentions are to write a prayer for my daughter. In it I will express that because she was hand-made with love by God, it is my prayer that one day she too will be able to experience the Lord's Spirit in action in her life. That she too, one day, can do something that apart from Christ she would have not been able to do.. and when that happens may she remember why she was able to accomplish this!</div><br />
I have a little something to share with you:<br />

<br />
Here is the first project I create using <a href="http://www.fortheluvofart.com/">For the Luv of Ar</a>t stamps and <a href="http://getpunkysprouts.blogspot.com/">Punky Sprouts</a> corrugated cardboard:<br />
<br />

<br />
I colored in the image using distress inks and truly had a blast. I am starting to get a bit addicted to that technique... :) The distressed edges were created using my favorite tool ever created, the Distrezz-it-All, which makes distressing easy and quick with guaranteed results.<br />
<br />
I created this card with the following challenges in mind: <br />

</div>Women have a very unique way of being strong, yet gentle. through this process we find ourselves many times hiding heartaches that truly affect us, but somehow we cannot bring ourselves to talk about. Sometimes it is because of "what would people say" or because we want to keep a certain image, or even because we are trying to keep our loved ones from becoming worried: we hold on to the heartache and even come to believe that "this is as good as it will ever get". Today we are out in the internet laying our hearts bare before the world. We have come to understand that God IS who He says He is and indeed He will complete the work He has begun, and so we lay our heartache before Him in hopes that He will meet us here. As you go through this hop, take the time to think about your own hidden heartache, and if any of our blogs motivate you to speak about it, leave us a comment or even send us an email. As sisters we should remain together and encourage each other to continue the walk towards His arms: the only place we will find rest and comfort. <br />
<br />
Here's how the hop works:<br />
Like last time we have some GRAND Prizes to share with you, plus most of the blog owners are willing to share some RAK with you. In order to qualify for the GRAND Prizes you ought to leave a comment under this thread and become a follower of this blog (if you are not one yet). We are asking that you would also become a follower of paper Tree House Studio on Facebook so that you can stay updated with our challenges and contests. In order to qualify for the RAKS i ask that you would also become a follower of those blogs and leave them a comment with your thoughts about the project they might have created or the story they were willing to share (if any). It can be very humbling to share our hearts with the world, yet the Bible says that our troubles come so that we can console another going through the same thing. My prayer is that the Lord would use this for His Glory as He heals all of our hearts.<br />

<br />
Remember that in order to be considered a winner, you should leave a comment here and become a follower. :) It is that simple.<br />
<br />
As you hop through the blogs you will see some very open lives, and others that are not as much. We are all being molded everyday more into His liking. Know that I have been praying for each of the participants, and as you begin to open your heart, I will be praying for you as well. It is my desire that the Lord would begin to build a community of bold women that would be willing to show their weaknesses so that in turn He can be their strength. Maybe next month we can hop through your blog as well.. This will happen every month on the very last weekend of the month, so please plan to be here learning about Him and about His love for YOU and His commitment to make you His!<br />
<br />
(If you get lost, make sure to go check out the list of participant's over at <a href="http://www.mypapertreehouse.com/">http://www.mypapertreehouse.com/</a>)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">Here is my hidden heartache:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">I am filled with insecurities... Insecurities about being a woman, about being a mom, about being a wife, etc... It does not matter how hard I try, no matter what I do I always end up feeling guilty. If I scrapbook because it is what i want to do, i feel guilty because I am not with my children. If I am with my children, I feel guilty because I am not cleaning my house. If I am tired and i want to go take a nap, I feel guilty because i always have 20,000,000 things pending... (you get the picture). Feelings of inadequacy consume me at times and I am left with no other option than to crumble at Jesus' feet and once again ask Him to become my everything. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">There is also a sense of unsatisfaction and almost like a hunger that needs to be satiated in my soul and has not yet. When it is intense i notice that I tend to withdraw from the Lord because I see such glimpses of who i used to be that it makes me wonder whether or not He will ever be able to heal me... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">I have come to learn that the Lord does not always heal you the way we would like for Him to do so, but for sure it is the PERFECT WAY and He WILL INDEED HEAL!! :) That is a promise I hold on tight, especially during my rockiest times. To remind myself of that I created my first offcial art journal to record His Truth... </span><br />
<br />
i want to know your story and I want to pray for you. Please leave me a comment... I really want to pray for you!<br />
<br />

It was an unbelievable show, especially because she weighs close to nothing ans was up against a 7 foot gator. Here are some pics of her in action:<br />

He, being the boy he is, thought is was the coolest thing! I was blessed to capture some awesome pictures of his reaction. Here is my favorite:<br />

I am very much aware of the fact that apart from Christ, I cannot do ANYTHING! :) So, I created a mini-book to worship Him and acknowledge Him as King...<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">El Señor me ha estado abriendo TANTAS puertas, y cada vez que abre otra puerta me doy cuenta de lo "chiquita" que soy a SU lado. Yo estoy bien clara con el hecho de que aprate de El yo no sé hacer NADA! :) Por eso decidí crear este libro, para alabarlo y reconocerlo como rey... </span><br />

He is The King of kings and the Lord of lords, and my desire is to serve Him ALL of my days... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Yo titulé este libro: "Las Buenas Noticias". El Señor realmente es MY BUENAS NOTICIAS. Mientras pienso en lo que fue mi vida hace varios años me dí cuenta de lo REAL que es EL- y con ésto he logrado sentir más amor de lo que yo he sentido en mi vida. El es el Rey de reyes y Señor de señores; y mi deseo es poder servirle el resto de la eternidad.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This past couple of weeks have been a bit hectic, but spring break is right around the corner so there is light at the other side of the tunnel. :) Today I want to share a little tutorial on how to create a very easy layout using the stunning new boy collection by Best Creation. This line is FULL of cute elements and amazing glittered paper- just what I wanted to complete the layout. <br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Hola nuevamente! Estas últimas semanas han sido como de locos, pero por ahí vienen las vacaciones, así que veo la luz al final de el túnel. :) Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes un pequeño tutorial de cómo crear el layout que creé para Best Creation usando su nueva línea Safari Boy. Esta colección está llena de elementos preciosos y papeles llenos de escarcha-justo lo que necesité para completar mi página. </span><br />

I did this so that i would have a reference to work with when stamping the top of the palm tree unto my cardstock.<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Comenzé por dibujar un rectágulo con un lápiz usando los papeles decorativos como mi guía. Hize esto para poder tener un punto de referencia mientras usaba la estampilla en forma de una palma por todo el borde de abajo. </span><br />
<br />
<br />

I used a straight stitch all around and a decorative stitch on just one of the corners.<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Cuando terminé de estampar, cocí un patrón alrededor de la página utilizando dos tipos de puntadas. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVTcM8Xaq6vHXVeGnnO7DkQ0mZzvDAsHBO-kKkn3jUINFjYy9otaxYhrlT5zHxd0pwiWEAUH9j7E9BxECylx9whl6ZrKZprGGwsjcnUYt_QHx7SVPNxDF2zyigw8u-2MBM_7fF-OLHkj6W/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVTcM8Xaq6vHXVeGnnO7DkQ0mZzvDAsHBO-kKkn3jUINFjYy9otaxYhrlT5zHxd0pwiWEAUH9j7E9BxECylx9whl6ZrKZprGGwsjcnUYt_QHx7SVPNxDF2zyigw8u-2MBM_7fF-OLHkj6W/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I took my patterned papers (including the glittered cardstock which is delish) and distressed them using the Distrezz-it-All. I then used Distress ink to ink the edges and put them together by sewing the sheets together using a decorative stitch. I love the distressed look so much that I took the liberty to use the Distrezz-it-All on my picture as well. <br />
<div style="color: magenta;">Tomé los papeles decorativos (inluyendo el "cardstock" con escarcha que está delicioso) y usando la máquina de Distrezz-it-All rompí el paple de todas las esquinas. Luego usé la tinta Distress para darle el color adecuado a los bordes y con la máquina de cocer junté las tres usando puntadas decorativas. Me fascina tanto el look que deja la máquina Distrezz-it-All, que decidí hacerle lo mismo a la foto. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lk3b5R4sey3GCb90iRrlGiQiYaoftOtH6HMrspYrDYcDdD_nne0sCAS4BH3zG2YdH2u4g1S9fOBPh9YH_mg4C0GC7_zIP_IpS7roTzupBIpd_oW_lawaL4LLdc3TM4CNZKtu1onasWV-/s1600/grass1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lk3b5R4sey3GCb90iRrlGiQiYaoftOtH6HMrspYrDYcDdD_nne0sCAS4BH3zG2YdH2u4g1S9fOBPh9YH_mg4C0GC7_zIP_IpS7roTzupBIpd_oW_lawaL4LLdc3TM4CNZKtu1onasWV-/s320/grass1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Now, creating the grass was one of the funnest experiences I have had with cardstock. I am a Bazzill Junkie and as many of you already know I am in love with creating things from scratch. I use cardstock to create my paper piecings and I enjoy how the little animals come alive from the paper. Creating this grass was no different. I took seven 1 1/2 x 4" strips of Bazzill cardstock in two different tones of green. Using my favorite pair of scissors (Tim Holtz) I cut staright lines with very little distance from one another until about a bit more than half of the strip. <br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Crear la grama fue una de las experiencias más divertidas que he tenido con el cardstock, Yo estoy un poco adicta al Bazzill y como muchas de ustedes saben me fascina crear cosas desde "scratch". Utilizo el cardstock para crear mis figuritas y animalitos y siempre disfruto el ver cómo las mismas nacen y toman vida. Cuando creé la grama me sentí igual. Tomé siete pedazos de tamaño 1 1/2x4" de cardstock Bazzill en dos tonos verdes y corté líneas rectas desde el borde de la hoja hasta la mitad de la misma usando mis tijeras favoritas.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBBz-iU2VtjVwF-sKFIGlgPLoAN1LDfA0wJiYEUoVwMK0atpz48cDq9et29GA-NdQhbDPuALGeYOMTsfUvax9n5Yd2eFg_jOIon54fLoGrl1urqujiNS9QACjpfvWC0c_mXRDf8X_rivV3/s1600/grass2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBBz-iU2VtjVwF-sKFIGlgPLoAN1LDfA0wJiYEUoVwMK0atpz48cDq9et29GA-NdQhbDPuALGeYOMTsfUvax9n5Yd2eFg_jOIon54fLoGrl1urqujiNS9QACjpfvWC0c_mXRDf8X_rivV3/s320/grass2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I then took green chalk ink and I inked the edges of the strips in order to give the strips some dimension. Here is the way it looks with ink:<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Luego tomé tinta verde para darle color al borde de las hojas, pues pienso que esto le da dimensión. Aquí puedes ver cómo luce: </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPcu3OaN-Y2ICT-xFMqGd4n4K19ZfPOVPYv4n1cVdc_T1ysFrZCHOFz7c0ds_jkurl6XK9_aWmYbtnKsHv90Cxmrbb_VO4s-3vsdTmxXJPI3u-TyYwwnIiquQpFXZ71YtTho9sMOnyyRcR/s1600/grass3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPcu3OaN-Y2ICT-xFMqGd4n4K19ZfPOVPYv4n1cVdc_T1ysFrZCHOFz7c0ds_jkurl6XK9_aWmYbtnKsHv90Cxmrbb_VO4s-3vsdTmxXJPI3u-TyYwwnIiquQpFXZ71YtTho9sMOnyyRcR/s320/grass3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I then aligned the grasses with various heights and alternating colors. To adhere them I just applied adhesive on the bottom of the one of the strips and attached it to the strip in front. <br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Alinié los pedazos de papel alternando la altura de cada hoja y los colores, Para pegarlos, le añadí un poco de pegamento a la parte de abajo y los uní. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_bBmm5pkj9Kh1sA2qtN-WNr4dtMuJ7MhtAt065y1ykgh7pbh7VNNUOV9dHnflq8uWiO4WAtUOKBq9V54NCPkm4Et8HYyECnSA_Pa3CGZ5OuD0d6ssboaKiy0Z0lIhWwJaodMewfQ4piw/s1600/grass4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_bBmm5pkj9Kh1sA2qtN-WNr4dtMuJ7MhtAt065y1ykgh7pbh7VNNUOV9dHnflq8uWiO4WAtUOKBq9V54NCPkm4Et8HYyECnSA_Pa3CGZ5OuD0d6ssboaKiy0Z0lIhWwJaodMewfQ4piw/s320/grass4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Once done, I took one of the borders from the Safari Boy line and used it to cover the bottom the strips. Here is how the end result looks:<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Al teminar de pegarlos tomé uno de los bordes decorativos de la colección Safari Boy y la utilizé para cubri la parte de abajo de la hoja. Aquí pueden ver cómo luce: </span><br />

Once I had all of these elements in place and ready, I began to put my layout together:<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Cuando terminé de crear los elementos que quería usar, construí mi página con mucho detalle.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEC1mBPyEE0faPnBkusbzIP1y4OoE31oXF9V9wImnHFeXfJLa2CrVe7hP13YQRt6rUihyphenhyphenTcj-A3ysdiRCUwvMmTBALqU1te89Yde2hvssbq4CIF1UsKlqybPdb3EbBg0Tx876r9IRUzbFl/s1600/half+layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEC1mBPyEE0faPnBkusbzIP1y4OoE31oXF9V9wImnHFeXfJLa2CrVe7hP13YQRt6rUihyphenhyphenTcj-A3ysdiRCUwvMmTBALqU1te89Yde2hvssbq4CIF1UsKlqybPdb3EbBg0Tx876r9IRUzbFl/s320/half+layout.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> As you can see I used elements that I cut out from the patterned papers as well as some stickers and some chipboard accents. <br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Como pueden notar usé detalles que yo creé al igual que algunas calcomanías y otros elementos. </span><br />
<br />
To create the title, I used Ranger Chipboard letters and some delish Maya Mist. I sprayed the letters and with the leftover ink on my pad I inked the edges of the entire page.<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Para crear el título pinté unas letras de Ranger con la tinta verde de Maya Road. Cuando teminé de rociar las letras usé la pintura que sobró para darle color al borde de la página. </span><br />

I finished the layout by adding elements and small details, like polka-dots on the letters as well as some Distress Stickles. Here are some close-ups of these details:<br />

<div style="color: black;">To begin with, I took a 6x6 canvas and I stained it using the new Distress Stains from Ranger. If you have not tried those yet, you are truly missing out. It is spectacular to get a distressed look on a large surface without all the arm work. :) I also used some Glimmer Mist to create the droplet effect that I wanted. To set the color I used a heat gun.</div><div style="color: magenta;">Para comenzar mi proyecto tomé un canvas de tamaño 6x6 y lo pinté usando la nueve tinta de Ranger llamada Distress Stains. Si aú no has tenido el privilegio de usar esta tinta- te lo estas perdiendo. Es realmente espectacular para lograr el efecto "distressed" en superficies grandes, sin tener que cansar el brazo. :) También usé un poco de Glimmer mist para lograr el efecto de las gotas cayedo. Para hacer que el color permaneciera, adelanté el proceso de secar la tinta usando una pistola de calor.</div><div style="color: black;"><br />
</div><div style="color: black;">After that I pretty much used the patterned paper from Nikki Sivils new line "We Are Family" to complete the decoration of the canvas. I meant for this project to be very simple, so if you follow the pictures you will be able to create the same canvas in no time! :)</div><div style="color: black;"><span style="color: magenta;">Luego de que se secó la tinta lo único que hice fue cortar los papeles decorativos de Nikki Sivils para decorar el canvas. Quise que este proyecto fuera bastante sencillo, asi que si sigues el orden de las fotos podrás crear el proyecto sin ningún problema! :)</span></div><div style="color: black;"><br />

Welcome to the very first Friends, Love, Faith Blog Hop! I am honored to be a part of a group of women that are willing to put their love of God out there so that others can see Him and what He can do through their hands. I have been beyond blessed by Him and have no other option than to give Him back the very things He has given me... :) <br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Bienvenida a la primera Rayuela de Paper Tree house Studio: Amigos, amor, y Fe. Estoy muy honrada de ser parte del grupo de mujeres que están dispuestas a demostrar su amor por Dios delante de otros y con la intención de que otros vean lo que El crea a través de nuestras manos. El me ha bendecido tanto que no me queda de otra que el devolverle lo que ya me ha otorgado... :)</span><br />

This is the project I have created for this hop:<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Este es el proyecto que creé para esta rayuela:</span><br />
<br />

I was inspired by the Scripture: "...those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31)<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Fui inspirada por el verso de la rayuela: "...pero los que confían en el Señor, renovarán sus fuerzas; volarán como las águilas: correrán y no se fatigarán, caminarán y no se cansarán." (Isaías 40:31)</span><br />
<br />
I just had the terrible experience of losing a co-worker to the battle of cancer. She was a very sweet woman and left a hole in many people's lives (including her 3 and 5 year olds.) I created this canvas for my friend Michelle who was really struggling to come to terms with the death of her best friend Kareema. After I finished creating it I painted over everything except the word "God" using the white Glimmer Glam. I did this on purpose since I wanted to remind Michelle that even though our lives become foggy, God is ALWAYS there and visible if we are willing to see Him. :) May this be a reminder in all of our lives too... <br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Apenas hace una semana tuve la muy mala experiencia de que muriera una compañera del trabajo. Ella luchó contra el cáncer por varios años y falleció dejándo atrás dos niños pequeños. Yo creé este canvas para su mejor amiga Michelle, quién quedó muy desconsolada con la muerte de Kareema. Depués de que terminé con el diseño lo pinté todo (menos el corazón y la palabra Dios) con el Glimmer Glam blanco de Tattered Angels. Hice esto pues quería recordarle a Michelle que aún cuando nuestro mundo se vuelve oscuro y nublado, Dios siempre está presente y es visible si miramos hacia El. Ojalá y El siempre mantenga esto en nuestras mentes..</span><br />

</div>Giancarlo threw up last night and i was concerned for him, so I decided to stay home with him and monitor him. Once he woke up, and we spent time with the Lord as a family I realized he was feeling much better- so I took them to the park.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOV5PHJ20oeSPXqvXDeTkl12-sYQdc9peFMp0U0cJBN4UWVZx38xtYALFvj9inu8MP3ANkn54ZSacdbNOKTuSZXLjdfaiGdSvH1pOXSliQsQk0t9OILztbJ3dUgAwSam1qN55uxhagwHrA/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOV5PHJ20oeSPXqvXDeTkl12-sYQdc9peFMp0U0cJBN4UWVZx38xtYALFvj9inu8MP3ANkn54ZSacdbNOKTuSZXLjdfaiGdSvH1pOXSliQsQk0t9OILztbJ3dUgAwSam1qN55uxhagwHrA/s320/photo.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

It is amazing to me how my children have grown. I remember the first time I took them to the park. Noleani was about 11 months old and Giancarlo was barely two weeks old. I feared the worst all the time as I followed Noelani (with Giancarlo in a sling). Slowly but surely I have been able to let go, to trust in their own abilities and it has become my favorite thing to do.<br />

I notice their little personalities... how Noelani is such a Girly Girl and would wait for any moment where she thought I was not looking to run to my purse and take the make-up out. Then she would hide so that i could not take pictures of her...<br />

On the other hand, you have Mr. Adventurer that never gives up until he get what he wants. He noticed that going down the steps was not as simple as going up, so he decided to spend the rest of the afternoon trying to go down without having to sit on each step. Can you believe he practiced until he accomplished it... :)<br />

As I think back on the moment, I am filled with such emotions. The same way that I look at and admire my children, God looks at us. He must chuckle when we run and hide to make ourselves look prettier for Him, or when He sees us trying over and over what He has created us to do. I know that I have caused TONS of pain to many people, especially God. I am grateful that today He reminded me of how I am the apple of His eye in spite of all of that..<br />
<br />
Love in Christ,<br />
