Sweet Stuff...

OK, so I started working on my page for "His Holy Name", but with all the excitment of the weekend, I got a little distracted. Don't worry, I haven't quit on it, I've just laid it aside for a tiny bit. :) See, I took tons of pictures on Saurturday, Independance Day here in America, and while I was looking for free kits and templates to work on those I found an awesome template over at ElementalScraps.com in their Template Challenge. I also found a Photo Challenge over at CreativeVictorianDesigns.com. You have to use a photo of a persons profile and I knew just what photo I was going to use. So I combined the 2 challenges and this is the layout I came up with:
The kit I used is from SunshineStudioScraps.com. It's a collab called "Chocolate Cherry Delight". Here's a peek at the kit:

Isn't it Gorgeous?! The image is linked so you can click on it to go check it out for yourself in the store.

Unfortunately, I also have some bad news today. My Papa's brother, Pat, who also had cancer, passed today after a very long and painful struggle. My Papa has wanted very badly to go see him one last time, but was never able to with his own struggles with his health. Please continue to keep my Papa in your prayers, for his own health and for the loss of his brother. I'm worried about how he's going to hande the loss. They weren't even able to speak for the last several months. (I think Pat had lost the ability to talk?) His whole family is in my heart and prayers tonight. God bless them with peace and comfort.

An update...

LMBO! I guess I better put you all at ease over Tyler's work dilemma. Don't worry, all is well. See, the friend of his that called from work didn't realize that he and another co-worker had traded hours/days. She worked for him yesterday, and he's working for her today. Lol, just a little miscommunication. No worries.

This afternoon I'll be working at our youth groups fireworks tent in our church parking lot. So, if your buying fireworks in our area this year, please come to the Forest Grove Assembly of God church or the Fred Meyer parking lot in Cornelius to buy your fireworks! All proceeds go to helping send our youth group to Snow camp in the winter and to the beach in the summer, plus buy new games and such for the building. Our church has a very large group that meets on Thursday nights. It is really more of an outreach to our community kids. Then on Sunday evenings we have a smaller youth group that meets to minister to our church youth. God does some amazing things with those kids. It's an awesome thing to witness!

Right now I'm working on trying to get caught up on my "His Holy Name" challenge from FaithSisters.com. I've been very bad about keeping up on that one. In fact, I have only done 6 out of 13 challenges. But I refuse to give up. I will get caught up and I will complete it. Just to remind you... This challenge is actually a year long challenge. Every other week they give you a new name we call our Heavenly Father, and you scrap a page however you want with it. I'm making mine 4x6 double-sided cards that I keep in a box that I scrapped. So far I have completed Holy, Sovereign, Protector, Righteous, Creator, and Almighty. The one I'm working on now is King. I'm studying the bible for verses that refer to Him as King and choosing the ones I want to use on my layout. When I am done with my card I will be back to share it with you. So, until then... c'ya!
