Shane & Kyrene are Meant to Bee
When Shane proposed to Kyrene earlier this year, the very next day Kyrene asked me to design their invitations and I was thrilled for the opportunity! These two are so genuine, so generous, and truly meant 2 bee! They embrace everyone with the biggest hugs they can muster and have a love for one another that is contagious! Kyrene's father is a beekeeper, but Kyrene was nervous to incorporate bees as it may be cheesy, but I promised it wouldn't be! With the theme of a little bit of bees and rustic elegance, we went to work. Starting with their save the date and then incporporating the little love bees across the invitation set. They had received an invitation kit to use so I had a blank canvas to work with. The paper was embossed so each page was individually cut out to accommodate a flood of color! I created a pattern for the background to resemble honeycomb but used a more curved shape pattern. After printing, each one was then tied with a tea-stained piece sheeting material to enhance the rustic feel and then backed with a solid chocolate brown card stock. Hope you like them! I just love them! It's my
He is God, Not Man
I have been reading the book of Hosea this past week and have started a blog post on it but this cannot wait. In Hosea, chapter 11, God spoke through Hosea, For I am God, and not man, The Holy One in your midst. The commentary by David Guzik (Enduring Word) had something so wonderfully concise on this statement. We often view God as someone on our human level with the same emotions and heart of man, but that is far from the truth. God is so much better than we are and so much more loving and forgiving
Starting Line
This blog (in its entirety) is about so many things, but I originally wanted it to be mostly about design. However, I have been having so much fun posting about other random things like what I've been learning as I read through my Bible or about the fantastic world of Disney! So this is getting back into the design aspect of creating for our Creator
Unity
The group that went down to Mexico in mid-July had such a radical experience in the way that each and every person that went became so linked to one another. Our group was unified in our mission to serve the people in San Quintin. We acted as one unit, one body of Christ. This uniting of brothers and sisters has spurred our church's next study. Pastor Josh is now teaching on the 12 chapter of 1 Corinthians
Test of Obedience
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:2-5 I just started a series by Biana Juarez on the book of James. She titled the series The Scandalous Book of James because of the blunt language that James states the ways the church should be acting. Like in the above verses, how many times have we heard these verses
