Lots of New Things and a FREEBIE!!

Hi all, I have have been a little MIA on the blog front lately. I will "blame" it on the holidays! We had a fabulous Christmas! My favorite time of year. For all the years we have been "dreaming of a white Christmas" we have made up for it this year!! There is so much snow on the ground, it will be here until spring comes! Lots of snow men waiting to come to life.


I wanted to show you all my latest kit first...Sarai.

This kit is inspired by yet another woman of the bible. The wife of Abram. Before they were known as Abraham and Sarah, they were Abram and Sarai. Although her beauty does not define her in the bible, Sarah was a beautiful woman. We know this because Abraham, in fear for his life, tells kings of the countries he is passing through that Sarah is his sister (not entirely a lie!!) so that his life will be spared. He is in fear that when the kings see Sarah, they will will kill him to have her. Besides being beautiful, Abrahm and Sarah are very wealthy. They have so many possessions that he and his nephew Lot split up so there will be no arguing among themselves and their followers about whose is whose and so on. What more could Sarah want? The only thing she doesn't have, a child and an heir to Abraham. Even though God tells Abraham his offspring will be too numerous to count, Sarah has doubts that she will be the one to fulfill this plan. She gives her servant to Abraham so she may bear him a child. Even though this plan works, it is not Gods plan. Through all of her hope and doubts, in their old age, the Lord blesses her and Abraham with a son, Issac. Gods timing is perfect. He uses his timing to his glory. Talk about a testimony! This wealthy, beautiful woman goes all of her life barren, desperate for a child heir and when she is old and past child bearing age, here comes Issac! Another fabulous story from the bible!

I love the rich colors of this kit. It came together beautifully. I see Sarah as beautiful, wealthy, hopeful and doubtful at the same time and very understated. I hope you like it! You can find it in my store at Scrap it Sassy on sale through the end of December. Go to the bottom of the post for a free matching alpha!!



I have also released Mary!

Mary, the mother of our Savior, needs little introduction! What an incredible joy and burden to be chosen for this task! This young lady, engaged to Joseph, was chosen to carry the Christ child. Of course God knows what he is doing, but imagine the scandal. Joseph must have been hurt and upset because he had in mind to break off the engagement, or divorce her. Engagement was as good as being married in those days. But he also loved her because he was planning to do it quietly for Mary's sake. She could have been stoned to death for such an offence. God spoke to Joseph through a dream and he decided to stick it out! Even after Jesus was born and that scandal had passed, I wonder what it would be like to be the mother of Jesus? What would it be like to raise him? When he was a grown man and ready to show the world who he was, Mary must have been filled with pride and torment. Seeing the wonderful person he was, knowing that he was her son, yet seeing all the rejection he was facing. It had to tear at her heart strings. She had known all along who he was, but he was also her son. To see him crucified must have ripped her apart. Jesus knew this and so he asked John to care for her. Marys joy and her burden were all wrapped up in her son Jesus. What a privilege.

Here is the Mary kit ... soft with a bit of harshness to it. You can find it in my store at Scrap it Sassy.



I have also been busy with lots of CU goodies. Find them all in my store!








Below is the free alpha that coordinates with the Sarai kit. Enjoy. I would love to see your creations. Find it HERE.

Eve Release and Freebie QP

Eve, the mother of all living, is the inspiration of my newest kit. I don't think she needs much introduction, but feel free to brush up with the first four chapters of Genesis!! I can't imagine how beautiful the garden of Eden must have been, but with God's limitless imagination, it must have been a sight to behold. That is what I wanted to portray with this kit and so I went with a rather colorful palette. I hope you enjoy! You can find my kit on sale for 35% off through the 15th of November in my store at Scrap it Sassy.

Here is the kit.




I also have an Add On to the kit if you want to take it one step further.



Here are some LOs I made with this kit. I love working with all the colors!!




And I made a QP of the latter to share with you, enjoy!!

Meet Ruth and Find a Free QP

Meet Ruth ...

I guess I have been divinely inspired to continue with a series about women of the Bible. Their stories fascinate me. This time around we are going with the book of Ruth.

Ruth was a woman who was widowed at a young age. Her mother-in-law, Naomi, was also widowed. Naomi lost her husband and her two sons. Some time after these losses, Naomi decides to head back to the country she was from. Even though she tells her daughter-in-laws to return to their families, Ruth moves forward with her. She is very dedicated to helping her mother-in-law, even though she is leaving everything she knows behind. In this new land, Ruth is socially considered at the bottom of the ladder. They are not very receptive to foreigners. She goes out to beg farmers to let her work in the fields behind their paid workers just so she can gather anything they drop for her and her mother-in-law to eat. This is dangerous considering she is a woman alone and a foreigner. She comes to the fields of Boaz. He has heard much about her already and is very kind to her. He loves the character that she shows even in the position she is in. He lets her work behind her crew, tells them to leave extra for her and tells the men to leave her alone.

Through the season she works for him. Naomi tells Ruth about Boaz and the wonderful man that he is. She directs Ruth to be bold and ask Boaz to be her kinsman redeemer" (you may have to look that one up if you are unsure of what that means!) He is pleased and figures out how to work this out immediately. They are married shortly after this and have a son named Obed.

All the people who thought little of Ruth in the beginning of the story, fall in love with her and tell Naomi that she is better than seven sons!!

I felt like Ruth was a little more down to earth than Esther. I chose the earthy grunge feel for her. It turned out to be a beautiful kit. I hope she would be proud!! Here is it...

New Kit and Free QP

Here is a new kit that I am totally excited about. I love the colors and the richness of this kit. It is inspired by the story of Esther in the Bible. A lovely young lady with a beautiful heart who was orphaned as a girl and raised by her cousin. She was brought to the temple along with all the young beautiful virgins for King Xerxes. He was to choose a wife and the Queen of Persia from these girls. Esther won the hearts of many in the palace including the King. She was crowned Queen. Later she is called upon to make a choice. Her cousin reminds her that she may be in this position for such a time as this. She chooses to go to the King with her plea, even though it may cost her her life. A brave young woman determined to do the right thing even if it means death.

I love the story and the characters. I hope you enjoy the kit. It is in both of my stores - Scrap it Sassy and Just Digilightful. It will be on sale for 25% off until the end of October.
