Good Morning Stampers!
Today I am posting my smaller version of a dazzling project I found on the internet. This project was presented at a Stampin' Up! event. When I saw it, I loved it because of its simplicity yet elegant and dazzling effect.
I had some shadowbox frames I bought at Dollar General a year ago. The glass had words on it and I carefully scraped it off with my hobby blade knife. I pulled out Urban Oasis Designer Series Paper, that is retiring, and cut out a piece to fit the frame. I took the Big Shot and cut out a butterfly out of black cardstock and added a piece of sticky strip in the middle of the body and flipped its wings upwards. After I closed the frame, I took a Decor Elements and applied it to the outside of the glass. It was so easy to make and it is beautiful.
I will be giving this to a friend who is going through a rough time right now. It is so difficult to keep our faith when we are faced with difficulties in life. We have to realize that there are some things we can't control and we have to trust and have faith in God that He is working everything out for us. I hope this small gift will encourage her and remind her not to lose her faith. God will provide in the midst of it all. Sometimes it doesn't happen when we want it to happen but it will happen. I believe that if God were to answer our prayers all the time or immediately then what need would there be for us to trust Him. Sometimes His delayed answer is to help us grow and mature. I want to encourage each of you that whatever you are facing today that you don't lose your faith. Things will get better!
Before I go for today, I want to let you all know that my catalogs have been shipped and will be here in a few days. I am so excited!! This catalog is dazzling!

I think the project is beautiful! I have just recently come across your blog and looked through several other of your posts. Your work is very inspiring! Your friend will be thrilled to receive this as a gift. I am now going to have to hunt down some of those frames at the dollar stores here in Canada to try this!!
