I'm behind with my pages for the Hymn and Scripture challenge hosted by Patter at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com.  Patter's post for this hymn was in July [ you can read it here ] so I'm really behind ! She chose another lovely hymn ,one which I have sung many times.

 

The stamp is from a scripture set by Our Daily Bread Designs, it has been a well used set !

                                                                   Kaisercraft flowers

Hymn and Scripture Challenge - Leaning On The Everlasting Arms

What a wonderful title for a hymn! Patter has written a great post about it on her blog here .
How wonderful to be able to lean on the arms of our Lord any time we want ! His arms are always ready to hold us !

                                                              Memory Box die
                                                              Spellbinders Daisy Head die

It was difficult to stick the Memory box die down, but I have since found a spray glue which will hopefully do the trick next time ! The die is so pretty and the card is easy to remove from it too.
I stencilled the spellbinders flower die with a white gel pen.

Hymn and Scripture Challenge Open My Eyes That I May See and Jesus Never Fails

Two pages today to catch up with  the challenges at Patter's blog www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com.

I haven't had much time on the computer recently as it is the school holidays and just managing to post this as my son is at a friends !

I haven't heard either of these hymns before but again the words are really beautiful.

Apart from creating the pages , I really love choosing my scripture , the hymns have such beautiful words it's difficult to choose only one !

                                                       Doodlebug Fruit Stand paper
                                                  Cuttlebug Flower die and corner die

I love this verse from Exodus ! I asked someone to pray with me recently about a difficult situation. She told me to remember that the solution is always Jesus ! Then Patter posted this hymn for our challenge!  It's wonderful to know that The Lord is fighting for us and JESUS NEVER FAILS !
Here are the words to this beautiful hymn :
                         

                         Earthly friends may prove untrue,
                         Doubts and fears assail;
                         One still loves and cares for you;
                         One who will not fail.

                         Tho' the sky be dark and drear,
                         Fierce and strong the gale,
                         Just remember He is near,
                         And He will not fail.

                         In life's dark and bitter hour,
                         Love will still prevail;
                         Trust His everlasting power,
                         Jesus will not fail.        
                         
                         Chorus

             Jesus never fails, Jesus never fails,
             Heav'n and earth may pass away,
             But Jesus never fails.

Jesus Loves Me This I Know !

Just a quick post to share two cards made for a friends twin daughters. I usually keep them similar but try to  make each one a little bit different. Here I have used papers from my new Doodlebug pad, just changed the colour scheme. They do seem a little bright for our gloomy UK weather but they will be going to warmer climes so won't be out of place ! I used a new [to me] stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs, which I am sure  will get a lot of use. I have another set ,so hope to post some more cards soon. I was surprised to have to pay an extra £12 when they arrived, £4 VAT and £8 handling charge to the Post Office. I never had to pay anything when I had them shipped to Cyprus! Fortunately one of the sets was being discontinued and was reduced in price.

      Doodlebug Fruit Stand papers, Spellbinders Daisy Head die Martha Stewart punch.

I couldn't get good photos ,fortunately my son has just begun GCSE Photography so I may be able to pick up a few tips soon! I have a feeling a new camera may be one of his suggestions!

Hymn and Scripture Challenge - This is My Father's World

What a lovely hymn Patter has chosen for this challenge , you can read her wonderful post  here : http://www.triplethescraps.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/hscrc13-hymn-9-this-is-my-fathers-world.html

It's wonderful at this time of the year to go out into the garden or visit parks and countryside alive with all types of flowers and vegetation. There is also wonder to be found in the assortment of bugs and little creatures which accompany them ! Although I am not particularly fond of insects I can still marvel at the intricate wings  on butterflies and moths and little spider legs scuttling along the paths. Only our Heavenly Father could have created them.

I wanted to use some bright colours on my page so some new paper was in order. I don't think they come much brighter than Doodlebug Designs , I think I will enjoy using them during the summer months.

 

For my scripture I have used Nehemiah 9:6 , sorry about the poor photo but if you click on the picture you should be able to read it a little clearer.

Hymn and Scripture Challenge - Trust Him When Thy Wants Are Many

For Patter's post on this beautiful hymn please visit her lovely blog at www.triplethescraps.blogspot.com . This is another hymn which I haven't heard before. The words are so wonderful though , it is a really encouraging hymn! There doesn't appear to be a video of anyone singing this hymn, so I visited the link in Patter's post  and sang along to the piano accompaniment !  {Not ready to post a video on You tube just yet ! }
I had phoned a friend for a chat  one day and she shared a scripture with me . I knew straight away I wanted to use it for my page . Thank you June !
