Hello Fall

This month we chose a theme from Psalm 62:1-2

Psalm 62:1-2 NIV

Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

Here is my contribution...

Enjoy!

And... God's Word for this September

God's Word ... September 2018 We Believe Bog Train features Psalms 119:89.

Psalm 119:
89
    Your word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.

The theme and colors this month was chosen by Anne-Marie. She gave us the Charpter in Psalms, then we were to choose a passage verse. I chose verse 89 as above. I loved working in these nuetral type colors. It came out just lovely! Thank you Anne-Marie.

Two by Two a Noah's Arc Story

Hi,

What wild weather we have had here this weekend. It started Friday afternoon with wild thunder storms with hail and strikes of lightning. Not so bad but I wanted to be on my desktop computer at the time for an online Bingo at my haunt, GoDigitalScrapbooking.com. It transitioned into an ice storm as the evening continued and the tempuatures dropped. Then some snow with stuck to the ice.

I had to work Saturday so I started my car 40 min. before my shift to soften up all of that ice and stuff. It softened up a bit then I had to scrape and scrape. sigh.

When I went to work yesterday about noon it was coming down as mini hail or sleet pellets.

I scraped mycar off again after work and barely made it home from work. The roads were terrible! Especially in the intersections and stop lights. I was tempted to not stop and barrel through. Egads!

Now I'm preparing for more of the same in white out conditions this morning for another shift at the electronics store that I currently work at. OY!

To lighten the day I have cute Noah's Arc kits for you. I hope that you enjoy our blog train this month.

Introduction to Digital Scrapbooking

INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL ART FOR PRINTING

TUTORIAL

BY

CRYSTAL JOHNSON

My journey into digital art and digital scrapbooking began about ten years ago. I was raising my son and working fulltime when I realized that I had little to no time to myself and I soon concluded that I needed a crafty hobby. I was looking on-line and googling several different crafts when I ran across scrapbooking. Upon googling this genre further an add for a current scrapbooking software came up for the digital version of scrapbooking called digital scrapbooking. I was soon hooked.

Then a couple years later, I self-taught myself to create my own digital scrapbook kits of various 12” x 12“ papers and elements at 300 ppi (300 dpi for printing) and started to sell the designs in various online websites and communities.

In this tutorial I am going to demonstrate creating a typical digital scrapbooking layout using standard graphics software from Adobe photoshop. The standard size for scrapbooking is 12” x 12“, but due to modern home printing capabilities I am choosing this project as a standard 8.5” x 11” letter sized paper in vertical portrait view.

There are also tons of websites to support this hobby and I will be introducing you to several of these as well.

* A special thank you to Becky Fleck from www.pagemaps.com

Feeling Something Fall

Well here in my part of the world we are in full-blown autumn. The oaks and maple trees are so pretty and peaking. Reds. oranges and golds everywhere. It's been raining a ton and the grasses are very vibrant shades of green! Love it. I have to admit this is my favorite time of year! Of, course having a September birthday might have something to do with that as well. hee hee.

Things are on track. My apartment drains backed up three times in the last week of September. YUCK! The last time we had the new beautiful carpet already down and presto. more drainage. Ewww. I live in an apartment and there is mildew under the baseboards, looks like from previous problems :( ...I'm sure it will be resolved.

In the mean time... I have this month's We Believe Blog Train freebie for you. Here are all of your stops... Don't miss out on any! Remember, we are a global group and may post at different times on Oct. 15th.

This month is Alpha and Omega
Scripture: Revelation 1:8 (KJV)

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Sad to See Summer Go!

Here in the states the leaves started turning this year at the end of August almost two weeks early due to cooler weather. We really did not see many warm days this summer either but it was mild and great!  I'm loving it! 

So...with a fall(ish) flavor let me introduce this month's contribution to the We Believe Blog Train and the great ladies at Let Me Be A Blessing forum. I'm a bit partial to it as I was the one to choose the color palette and theme/ scripture. Yay!

DRUM ROLL....

From (NASB) version of the Bible the scripture for September this year is 

.Psalm 85:12

Indeed, the LORD will give what is good, And our land will yield its produce.

Psalm 107:37

And sow fields and plant vineyards, And gather a fruitful harvest.

(NASB) 

September... is ... Fruitful Harvest.

By the way, I see my medical specialist consultant next week and will be starting a preventative chemo medication something that is a sister related type medication to Tamoxifen for some pre-cancer, a-tipia, that they found this January in a routine mammogram. So many blessings to be grateful for.  :)  They caught it early.

So as you are sending up prayers please also remember the hurricane survivors from Harvey and Irma here in the States and the Caribbean Islands. It's so sad, all of the destruction and displaced families. 

And I am celebrating my birthday this Sat. Sept. 16th! Woohoo!

Here are your freebies, enjoy!
