My daughter is going on a missions trip tomorrow. She loves it, the working with kids, the volunteering, the hard work, the fellowship. She is such an inspiration to me in embracing faith and walking the talk. She has been wanting a new Bible and I thought it would be the perfect time to gift her with the one she has been wanting. When I was younger my mom crochet me a cross for my Bible and I have always cherished it. I wanted to do make something special for her but I do not crochet...but I do love paper so I got down to business making her something to cherish and use while she is gone.
I decided to use the scripture stamp from Inspired Stamps - John 14:6
I made a card to go with it and wanted to make the bold words stand out even more so I stamped them onto some celery cardstock and put it over the white cardstock. I pieced the whole card together and added some bling and there I had it a quick simple card that goes along with the book marker.
On the book mark I also used the Flowers set and added a button for the center
Since my Scripture was a little to wide for my book mark die I decided to cut the words apart and put them back together again. I do this a lot in scrapbooking just to give my design a little something extra. I like the way it turned out here as well.
