Mark's Finest

I was inspired to make a tag album after
seeing this amazing one by my friend Michelle.
I stamped the lighthouse from yesterday's set called
Island Life. I stamped the shells from Silly Shells. I painted the shells
with watercolors and the big pink one has champagne paint over the
top of it.


This close up view is a little blurry but 
it does kinda show the shimmer of the paint on
the shell.


I took several scriptures from the Bible about the sea and printed them on my computer.
I then stitched them to the alternating dp.  
I also stamped the shells over the printed scriptures with brown ink.

This one is Revelation 5:13

This one is Nehemiah 9:6
 This one is from the set Island Life  -  Job 9:8

Psalm 96:10-13
 This shows them spread out.
I left the backs empty, so you could see the paper, but left
the opportunity to add more scriptures if I choose to.

These are the following winners of my comment challenge yesterday. They each will win a pretzel knot.

#21 Janis.



I have not ever heard a shark or a starfish or an octopus sing praise to God, but Revelation 5:13 says that all those creatures along with many others will all Praise Him. I love this song called Praise Him. We sang this last Sunday and it blessed me, and I hope it blesses you too. I also hope you had a great time with this month's blog hop.

  3. Oh how I wished I had seen this last week. We are off to a 25th wedding anniversary party this weekend and this would have been a wonderful "gift" - no real gifts allowed just donations to a charity.

  27. Marlynn -

    I love this project! I love how you stamped the shells over the scriptures. It looks great. And the knots on the front are wonderful! Did you tie them? I really like how that looks! You have my brain thinking now. I had instructions years ago on making those Chinese knots..... hmmm..... Maybe I'll be adding some to a project soon ;)
    Blessings,
    Michelle

  30. Hi! Just wanted you to know that I am really enjoying the knots you sent me. I'll be featuring one of them on a card I'm posting this Sat, July 14th, and linking to your blog as the one who created it. Have a great day! :) Janis

  31. Oh... one more thing... would you like to sponsor one of my challenges with a prize of a couple of knots you create? I don't know if you sell them or not, but if you don't, I think people would buy them. You can email me at craftyjanis@live.com. I have accidentally deleted your emails about winning the knots. :( Smiles! :) Janis
