  5. oh my - I dont know if I love the Easter layout design or the colors more - it is wonderful - and I love sketch challenges and this one looks great.

    my fav bible verse is Phil 4:13. I know it is out there a lot but it seems to reflect my lifestyle the best - I just need to learn that while I CAN do it all - I don't HAVE to do it all.

  7. Love the designs. Always look forward to see what you have been creating.
    My favorite scripture is Phil 4:19 "And my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in Glory in Christ Jesus" I read that and know that I have no need to worry, that through faith my needs, not my wants, will be taken care of through Christ Jesus.

  19. I have been a follower for awhile and your layouts are always gorgeous. It is hard to select just one favorite Bible verse. I like "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16 -- He gave His son so we could live. What a great sacrifice!

    One of my favorites is:

    Psalm 145:18

    The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

    Love ya and can't wait to see ya again

  24. Fabulous pages, Bea!
    One of my most meaningful verses is Ps 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book?
    I was widowed at a very young age and lost a child shortly after that. So, that verse was very comforting to me and still is .. knowing that the God keeps track of every sorrow, every tear. And every path we go down. And thankfully, our joys as well! Have a great weekend!

  31. Okay Bea...you know, you've really got me thinking of Bible verses and even after all the years of having to memorize them for my classes in private school (none I remember now...LOL!) I don't know I have a favorite...though I think I like the ones the most about rejoicing, and I love the book of Psalms. =)
    Well sister..onto the fabulous projects..I love them! of course! I really like the sketch as well but just couldn't make it work, that's why mine is so terribly different, I still feel bad for that one! LOL!
    Hope you have the best weekend! Hugz!

  44. Bea! I love both layouts! The spring one is so happy and fun. The teal girls is about getting together to scrap, which is awesome. The postcards are a wonderful detail. (I also like how that scrap store labels the papers on the wall in vinyl.)

    As I scrolled down to leave a message, I read Sandy Cl~'s comment. I choose that to be my favourite verse just because it gave her comfort is such a tough time.

  46. I had to become a follower when I saw your beautiful 2 page layouts! So many I want to lift! My favorite Bible quote is:
    Love is patient, love is kind,
    Love does not insist on its own way.
    Love bears all things, believes all things,
    Hopes all things, endures all things.
    Love never fails. - I Corinthians 13:4-8

    Have a great day.

  55. The layouts are awesome! That Spring one is so cheerful and happy!

    My favorite bible verse: Philippians 4:13

    But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

    It is my favorite because God never gives us more than we can handle and he is with us each step of the way.
