Antique Senior Window


Hmmm...that sounds like the senior is antique, not the window, but you get the idea. This is a window we found at an antique store a long time ago. We had to replace glass in 5 of the panes, but it was worth it. I tooks some of the lovely photos of Kat taken by Christa Holland (see link to the right for more of her fabulousness) and made a layout with each. Then I put them on some cardboard (no, not acid, free, but neither is an antique window.) Oh and Lori, two of the cardboard pieces have your mailing address, from our last CJ. LOL. This is the second window like this I've done. The other is here:  http://www.scrapjazz.com/myjazz/index.php?mod=galleries&u=20907&m=view&id=415311&start=160&page=1.
 


Each pane has it's own theme, but they're all on vintage style papers. This will be hanging above my sofa. I have another window to fill for Arch in two years. I'm looking forward to that.

And now to finish rearranging all the stuff in the living room so this fits....

Inspiration

I know sermons are SUPPOSED to inspire us, but this morning's sermon had a secondary inspiration: a layout. I took these pictures (and more) at an old cemetary near here that was covered with bluebonnets, irises and other flowers recently. I just haven't had time to do anything with the pictures yet. So when I opened my Bible and read this morning's scripture, my mind started going. Yes, I paid attention to the sermon as well. It was very good. I flipped over the outline of the sermon that was in the bulletin and sketched out this layout. Then this afternoon, I put it all together. The scripture quoted is excerpted from Colossians 3:15-24. It says: Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts...Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly...And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him...Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord...

I'm hoping to get several LO's done the next couple of weeks, so check back often, I might just get something done!
