Let's Start Challenge #33

Thank you so much to all of our participants here at Word Art Wednesday.  Whether you are a "regular" or a new friend of our challenge blog, we are SO grateful for you, and SO excited to have you join us.  It is our desire that  you will come to love our weekly word art, fellowship, challenges and prizes, and that you will all become fast friends and regular, steady participants here.  We are blessed to have you visit, and even more blessed to have you revisit and continue to link up your beautiful art with us.  YOU are what makes this challenge blog so special.

Well, all of you. . . . AND. . . . our wonderful Design Team.  I would like to start featuring one of our wonderful Design Team Members each week, and give you a peek into their lives.  This week, I'd like you to really get to know our lovely Guest Designer for the Month of June, Sandee Shanabrough who has been graciously sharing a beautiful art journal with us each week this month.  The first week in June, she posted the cover and first page of her journal, and each subsequent week, she is posting the rest of the pages.  You can see all of Sandee's beautiful art journal here on our blog, or by visiting her lovely blog where I am certain she would LOVE to have you visit.  Please take a moment to stop by and see her pretty work, and to let her know what a blessing she has been here at Word Art Wednesday this month.  You can also read Sandee's biography here on her Guest Designer Page and get to know her better.   We are grateful to Sandee for sharing her art with us this month.  Just like we are grateful to all of our Design Team Members, and all of you for linking up and sharing your art each week.

We pray that God will richly bless your days as you create the projects that you share on your blogs.  It is our honor and privilege to be able to visit all of your lovely blogs and view the art that you have shared with us.  Thanks for giving us that glimpse into your creative hearts, and for encouraging all of us as we share our creations.  God is just SO GOOD to give us this beautiful gift that we can share with one another for His glory and praise.

As always, feel free to save the free word art to your computer. You are welcome to use it in your entry, but not required to do so.  As long as you use an encouraging or uplifting sentiment on your project, that is fine. You can also link more than one project each week.  The more, the merrier.  We just hope that God's Word will be a blessing and encouragement to you each week. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to read the complete list of rules under our page tab for "Challenge Rules".
