Welcome, everyone! We're SO glad you're here to play along with us. We have another great challenge planned for you with two AMAZING sponsors, which means two GREAT prizes to be won.
It's a busy time of year for everyone, and some of our DT Members need a break now and then. We are so grateful to have Heather Dennis as our Guest Design Team Member for August, as well as former DT Member, Karen Conner, who is our August Fill-In Designer. Please make them feel welcome. We're so grateful to have them both with us this month.
What a lovely scripture we have for our word art file this week. It is found in the beautiful Book of Psalm, from Chapter 147, and verse 4. It calls for our praise, and tells of His greatness in creation. The Bible tells us that God spoke the world into existence - the heavens, the earth, the stars, the waters.....He simply spoke, and.....so it was. However, that doesn't mean God didn't put GREAT thought into everything He created. This verse tells us that He knows the very number of stars. Scientists tell us that stars die out over time; and yet, He knows the exact number of stars on any given day. He even named each one, and their names matter to Him. Yet, God didn't send His only Son to this earth to die as a sacrifice for the stars. The stars DO matter to Him, and He really DID name them. But God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ - God in human flesh, to give Himself as a sacrifice for US - the people of the earth. If He knows each star's name, how much more important are we? He knows the number of people, He knows each person's name, and He offered Himself as a sacrifice for EVERY person who has ever existed. What an incredible thought. Even babies who have died in birth, or before their birth - He knows each one by name and He loves them. There are people who choose to deny Him, but NOTHING can change absolute truth. What joy we find in each and every verse He has given us. Isn't it EXCITING to learn that He knows each star by name? It assures us that He puts even greater value on those He suffered and died for, and it's AWESOME to think that HE KNOWS YOUR NAME, and that you matter to Him!
As always, you are welcome to save this week's free scripture/word art file to your computer, but are not required to use it in order to play along in our challenges. We welcome you share your art with us; remembering that Anything Goes as long as it's family-friendly, and uses an encouraging or uplifting sentiment. This includes any type of art (not just limited to cards). You may link up to 5 projects each week. The more you enter, the more you increase your odds of winning. It is our desire 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". Because our ultimate goal is to honor God, we have no other choice but to delete any entries that do not adhere to these guidelines (dark images, etc.). Let us know if you have any questions, and thanks for your understanding and participation!

so happy to finally be creating with you again! I am entering a mini-book so only the cover is showing in my link. Hope you will visit the blog and get to see the rest! Although with the way that it flips it is hard to get the real effects online.
