Church prayer cards of Philippians chapter one verses nine to eleven

Last Sunday, the Pastor of our small Brethren church mentioned that for the coming Sunday he wanted the members to learn Philippians 1: 9-11 (NKJV) instead of reciting the Lord's Prayer like we normally do.

After the service I briefly explained my creative brainstorm on how to make them and volunteered to have some ready for the June 10th service.

My mind kept focusing on durability and the need for some color coding to help members with visual learning strengths to be helped in their reading and memorizing.

Here are the extra copies in 2 different font sizes and a book binder type ring with 12 medium size fonts and 3 small size fonts prayer cards ready to go:

I chose a blue and purple marbled lightweight cardstock for the backing. These are about 2.75" x 3.5" and just fit within the area of the Scotch laminating pouches that are "wallet size".

 

The color-coded words are : (1) love in red; (2) excellent in yellow [to remind of gold medals]; and (3) fruit in purple.

I kept the font simple for easy reading. The hole-punching and binder ring make these easy to store, to distribute, and to collect. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!!

Isn't it just a wonderful blessing to be inspired by the Holy Spirit in how to do a task and feel God's leading to do it in order to give the pastor one less task for the week.

Inspired By Challenge no 22 industrial charm theme with card three

Mix metals, staples, broken arrow, and railroad crossing bars are supporting theme elements

This is the 3rd card I've created for this industrial charm theme. Card three has the same center focal piece as card two however this version for three has been altered. The black and white stripes crossing railroad 'arms' were the outside border for the center focal (coaster! yes!!!!!! coaster!!!). Upcycling creative resourcefulness at its best!!!!! This card three has a clean and simple layout which is totally opposite to the full, busy, many scrap strips of paper and patterns of card two.

Below is the INSPIRED BY photo for the theme and the blog post link (to get all the details):

This is my third and final entry for this challenge that ends in 24 hours or so. Stay tuned for my next blog post when I show MY creative inspiration photo for color and style (to do something different style-wise) of an item that comes from my closet!!!

Inspired By Industrial Charm no 22 challenge card two

strong geometric patterns, lines, and deep dark colors

Design note about the theme: I wanted to support the theme with the scraps of different patterned papers and some additional blueberry cardstock at each corner to look like a builder's stack of lumber just fell and went every which way it could.

This is the photo to get INSPIRED BY from Laurel Seabrook Designs blog.

Design note 2: Guess what my secret mystery supply is on this card cover?

Answer: The center focal piece is--a coaster! Yes! Who knew!?!?! As soon as I saw the 4 pack of coasters for 98 cents, I envisioned using 1 or 2 this summer for graduation or promotion cards.

Watch for the next blog post where I alter the coaster for the next clean-and-simple version of this one.
