Woof Bark Happy Birthday Card---Visit our Neigborhood, 613 Avenue Create, and Have Fun with our Challenge!

Hello friends.  It's still Sunday and apologize for not getting this post as early today as possible.  It was a busy day at the Church and had some family time with my hubby and son, my very excuse!...LOL  The day went well as my son got baptized in water with 2 other adults in our Church in front of all the brethren.  At 7 years old, he was really eager to show everyone how he loves Jesus.  He  has known God since he was a baby and at age 4, just for formality, I led him to a prayer of acceptance.  Just several months ago, we both felt it's time for him to proclaim his faith in Jesus Christ.  I am very grateful to the Lord for having a son whose heart is after God.  As I continue to lead my son to the very teaching of God in the scriptures, I know that the Lord is right there with me to raise him in the knowledge of Him---for His glory and His honor!  The Bible says:

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6)

"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."  (Ephesians 6:4)

"Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."  (Deuteronomy 11:19)

Anyway,  I just want to share with you the card I made for today's Challenge at 613 Avenue Create.  We have a Color Challenge happening right now featuring the colors---pink, brown, cream or white.  As you can see with my card, it's pretty much open to your interpretation.  I got all colors down but baby blue was my emphasis.  We are sponsored by Eureka stamps that is why this all doggie image is from Eureka stamps which I colored with my ProMarker/Prismacolor and Spectrum Noir markers.  I used a 5.5-inches Kraft CS as a base for my card as well as baby blue CS for matting.  I die-cut a couple of Nestabilities (Octagon and Scallop Octagon for produce that shape accent and heat embossed all the sentiments (from Recollections and Printworks).  The paw prints that were stamped is from Recollections too.  All the DP's are from My Mind's Eye.  I incorporated some inking using the Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress ink, added some Stickles glitter (Orange Peel), some gems from Hotfix and stitching.  I love how the dogs got their own distinct color.  It was a challenge for me to color this image but now that I have the complete picture, I'm pretty happy with it.  Hope you like it too.

  1. Hi Jo Ann, What wonderful news about your son! Yes if we are faithful in "training" our children, God is even more faithful in taking care of the things we cannot! My son is 18 years old and ever since he was young, I have repeated the Word of God to him, and shown him the "way he should go". Sometimes he says, "Mom you've told that to me many times!" But it would break my heart if he decided not to follow the Lord! so I have to do my best!! God bless you, Jo Ann! it's great to be a part of the same family in Christ! Patsy from
