This is my 6x6 page for the Hymn & Scripture Challenge. Our word and study this week are on the hymn “O Holy Night." The scripture I used was:
Psalm 18:28 "You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light."
I felt this verse was appropriate as I think of His birth and that Holy Night when He Himself was the light brought into this dark world. I also used December sketch challenge from C'est Magnifique. It's always hard to fit a lot of elements on a 6x6 page but I try. LOL! To see more photos and to read the entire study, please see my post here:

Over the space of about sixty years my mum had smoked over five million cigarettes! Smoking eventually killed her.
These cigarette boxes are covered in layers of tissue and fabric which I sanded back to reveal previous layers (including the health warning).
Inside one packet is a love letter from my dad, inside another are leaves from her mothers day bouquet printed with messages of love - inside the third is a solitary cigarette, complete with her lipstick mark.
The silver glitter cardstock deer were diecut using my Big Shot and the Memory Box Deer Trio die. The sentiment is by Hero Arts from their CL459 Merry Christmas Trees clear set. I stamped it using Versamark Watermark ink and heat-set it using silver embossing powder.

Thanks for having a peek at my card :-)
Memory Boxes were provided at WakeMed to hold memories of Jesse & Dale. They are provided by artists all over the world as a gift of the heart at no charge.
"These boxes are a small way that we can help acknowledge the importance of the life these women carried inside of them. Through our art, we can create a keepsake box that the family may keep for generations."
This is the organization that provides the admin for connecting those who create the Memory Boxes and hospitals.
I made this card for the:
Simon Says "Are you all white?!!" Challenge
and
Craft Your Days Away 'All White' Challenge #7
and
A Spoon Full of Sugar 'Snow/Snowflakes' Challenge #129
I hope that it is okay to combine challenges, I have never done this before...
The only thing that was acceptable to have color on the card was any coloring having to do with the stamped image. I choose to do a snow themed card as I just bought the Sizzix Frost Embossing Folder last weekend and was excited to use it. This is also my first time using this stamp as it is also new. The rick rak is supposed to represent a bumpy snow run. I did use diamond stickles to highlight snow droplets and drifts. I stamped my original image onto a patterned piece of paper and colored with colored pencils. The face and brown dog were cut out and pieced from a white piece of paper that I stamped and colored with colored pencils. Then I cut the whole image out and used pop dots to place it on the circle. I was originally thinking the circle would represent a large snowball rolling down a hill but I did not end up fraying the edges or seeing that concept to the end. Hope you like it! I definitely want to do multiple versions, one using polar white flower soft...but once again that was another concept that did not come to fruition.

Those computer techs love their "m&m's".
By the way, I think "m&m's" is an odd construction. I know the letters stand for Mars and Murrie, so it's really "m&m's chocolate candy" with 's being possessive. But how would this really work? "Mars's and Murrie's Chocolate Candies"? "Mars' and Murrie's Chocolate Candies"? And then there is the issue of no spaces before and after the ampersand.
One of the more subtle senses we have is that of smell. When I opened my mums powder compact, and again when I took the lid off her lipstick - it was as if she was in the room with me.
The compact has a photo of her when she was 17 instead of powder, the blotter has the stain of her lipstick on it. There is a piece of her blue chiffon scarf, printed with the image of a Christmas card dad had sent her over 50 years previously. An antique perfume bottle stands in the corner, it now hold fragrant rose petal beads, made from her funeral flowers. Lastly the mirror reflects a single pink rose - one my own daughter gave me for mothers day the year I lost my own mother.
How apropos. In '96 my dad lived in GA, and he got a bunch of tickets to Olympic events because of his job, so we split up the tickets and each went to a few events (except baseball, which we all went to). My step mom got gymnastics, and a couple of my brothers got track & field, but the closing ceremonies were fuckin' sweeeeet so I didn't care, because I got to go to that and hang out with the athletes afterward.
And now I never watch the Olympics on tv anymore, because it's just not the same. It's sooo much more fun when you're actually there. On tv it's just...tv.
Oh, and the Braves ticket is there for a reason, too. I went to a ton of Braves games when we were in GA, but that ticket was actually from their last season playing in the Fulton County Stadium, because once the Olys were over they moved to the Georgia Dome. Which was super cool and fancy, but I was still sad to leave the old stadium behind.
