    It has been an honor to serve as a Guest DT at Word Art Wednesday over the last few months. This challenge has been a favorite for many years, and I loved getting to know several of the team members who help make it happen. They are good people!! 

    One of the "behind the scenes" team members is our talented Word Art Designer, Karen M. The way Karen creatively weaves fonts and words together brings the verses to life! For this new verse, from Psalm 105, she combined two font styles to proclaim a powerful promise from our God, especially when framed and mounted atop a glorious stained glass panel that displays several of His majestic gifts. Amen and Amen! 

Supplies:

Pink and Main- Set of 8 Cardfronts (Stained Glass Views Card Panels) 

Easel Card- Instructions found HERE  

Front Sentiment- Scripture verse from Word Art Wednesday (8-27-25) 

Inside Sentiment- back of a church friend's business card

Penny’s Paper Crafty Challenge- #604 Anything Goes

   In November, I’m teaching a stamping class for the County's “Learning In Retirement” group. Last Friday, I was excited to learn that the class had sold out, and a “waiting list” is filling up! I also learned that I can sell cards and related items there. So, I'm now making not only Christmas/holiday cards, but also assorted theme cards that can be options for people when they select cards to include in a pre-decorated gift bag. This is one of the cards I’ll offer for that purpose!  

Supplies: 

·  Grand Piano (Precolored) Digi and sentiments- from an Imagine That digi set (Company is no longer in business)

·    Pioneer Clear Photo corners- available from several sources

·    Gold photo corners available from several web sources (WXJ13 Photo Mounting Corners)

·    Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·    Music score patterned paper, other misc. items and tools from my stash.
