Mama Bear

Enjoying one of my Christmas gifts.  Just call me mama bear.

It's About The Cross

I've been wanted to scrap this song for a while now, but just couldn't do it justice.  I was hesitent to post this, but felt the message was worth conveying.

I used various kits from Anna Aspnes, Natalie Designs and Jopke.

Merry Christmas to my dear online friends and family.

Lyrics to song:
It's About The Cross
song by The Ball Brothers

It's not just about the manger
Where the baby lay
It's not all about the angels
Who sing for him that day
It's not just about the shepherds
Or the bright and shining star
It's not all about the wisemen
Who travelled from afar

It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus
came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could
have real life someday
It's about the cross
It's about the cross

It's not all about the good things
In this life I've done
Its not all about the treasures
Or the trophies that I've won
Its not about the righteousness
That I've find within
Its about His precious blood
That save me from my sin

Repeat The beginning of the story
is wonderful and great
But it's the ending that can
save you and that's why we celebrate
It's about the cross
It's about my sin It's about how
Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about God's love

Nailed to a tree It's about every
drop of blood that flowed from
Him when it should have been me
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross
It's about the cross

Itune Challenge - Dec 16

Well I should have read the whole post before diving into this layout.  I looked at the example and litterly used squares for my inspiration.

I wanted to see if I could do a cutout and was able to create it and filled it with various papers for colors.

Day 12 - Scraplift

Last day of the December challenge

I lifted FloridaGranny's sport page, one because all my grandkids are involved in sports so this one really caught my eye and second because I love big photos and working with masks.
