Here is my project for both the New Technique challenge and Patter's My Holy Name Challenge.
This picture shows the wonderful frame that my DH made for me to hold all of my 'His Holy Name' 6x6 pages - there will be 26 of them by the end of the year. He made me two frames so I could put 13 on each.
First I stamped the bg trees on my 6x6 panel - then I made a 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 cut into my page and made a recessed frame as per the instructions in the forum.
I framed the outside with choc chip cs strips that I had embossed with the Distressed stripes cuttlebug folder before cutting.
This weeks My Holy Name word was Protector. I chose Psalm 5:11 to illustrate this word. I used trees as I thought they illustrated well the words 'take refuge' and 'spread your protection' from this psalm. Many animals seek protection and refuge in the trees - as we seek the same in God.

What a wonderful holder Julia ... are you going to rent your DH out to all us stampers? LOL. This is just a wonderful idea and just perfect combined with the challenge today.
