Well, challenge hostesses...I have to thank you for the wonderful calls this week. I managed to put three inside of one and do justice to them all.
Wendy issued a call to USE a stamp that was more than a month old and unused at this point. What fun to spend time deciding which stamp would have the honor. It was my garage sale find of who knows what year! *God is the ultimate crafter.*
Polly (peeps321) of the MIX301 gave us the challenge to use texts of various books, maps, phonebooks (does anyone really still have a yellow pages in their kitchen cabinet?), dictionaries. It was here that ultimate crafter was whispering in my ear...Psalm 8. You'll find it collaged in two pieces on my work. And yes, cut out of a real Bible. Now my mother and grandmothers and mother in love would be mortified I defaced a Bible. I see it as sharing the word. I have a wonderful worn leather Bible from a missionary long gone to Glory that I journal in. I rather think, he would want me to spread the gospel. The hymn 'How Great Thou Art' was also torn from a hymnal. This hymn brings me to tears every time. I skipped the yellow pages, Polly, but did use text Washi tape to round out those corners.
And back to the beginning with the TeaPotter party and our hostess Jan (precious kitty) with a delightful teapot all lace and peach and some cookies TOO pretty to eat (well, maybe not). I wouldn't call myself a lace type person...well, now I do have a lace collection, but it's in the One4Joy museum...looked at, but not used. Until I parted with one of my most beloved laces for this card.
I apologize for being long here...if anyone is curious about any of the elements, pm. Thanks for stretching me, ladies. Be blessed all.

an amazing collage....after you commented yesterday, i kept checking your gallery but it wasn't there right away. I'm not an outwardly religious person (specifically organized religion, since I was let go from a church position), try to be spiritual though. Music has always been my way to pray. but I think I would have bought that stamp....who makes it?
