~OH, I WANT TO KNOW YOU MORE...Spending Time In His Presence~

~DID YOU KNOW...?~

Of all the things I hunger for most for in my life my greatest passion is simply to know the Lord more. My thirst for Him is greater than all my earthly loves combined and there isn't a day that goes by when I don't long to spend time alone in His presence.

And so...I do.

Whether I'm sharing with Him one of my best days or seeking comfort in His grace, nothing satisfies my spirit more or brings a deeper peace to my troubled heart than Jesus.

Below are the words to one of my favorite Christian-Inspirational songs. It is the first song on my PLAYLIST below if you'd like to hear it for yourself~ Just turn up your sound...

~OH, I WANT TO KNOW YOU MORE~
Steve Green-Steve Fry

Just the time I feel
That I've been caught
In the mire of self.
Just the time I feel
My mind's been bought
By worldly wealth.
That's when the breeze begins
To blow I know,
The Spirit's Call.
And all my worldly wanderings
Just melt into His Love.

Oh, I want to know You more!
Deep within my soul I want to know You,
Oh, I want to know You.
To feel Your Heart and know Your Mind,
Looking in Your eyes stirs up within me,
Cries that says I want to know You
Oh, I want to know You more.
Oh, I want to know You more.

When my daily deeds
Ordinarily lose life and song,
My heart begins to bleed,
Sensitivity to Him is gone.
I've run the race
But set my own pace
And face a shattered soul
But the Gentle Arms of Jesus
Warm my hunger to be whole.

Oh, I want to know You more!
Deep within my soul I want to know You,
Oh, I want to know You.
To feel your heart and know your mind
Looking in your eyes stirs up within me,
Cries that say I want to know You
Oh I want to know You...

And I would give my final breathe
To know You in Your Death and Resurrection,
Oh, I want to know You more.
Oh, I want to know You more.
Oh, I want to know You more...

Blessings to you and peace...Rebecca

~SEPIA VALENTINE SACHET PILLOW...Making Use of Vintage Graphics

~DREAMING IN CREAM~

Finished Sachet Pillow

If you took a peek at my POST from earlier today you know I shared with my readers two FREE VINTAGE VALENTINE POSTCARD IMAGES. I used one of those prints to create the sweet Valentine Sachet Pillow you see above! Both images are just perfect for Altered-Art projects!

I self-printed the aging images directly onto fabric! The finished Sachet will be listed later this evening on eBay!

Is your New Year getting off to a CREATIVE START?

Blessings to you as you begin to BEGIN...Rebecca

~SEPIA VALENTINE GRAPHICS - Sharing Pretties With You~

~SIMPLY GORGEOUS~

Perfect For Romantic Projects~

~REMOVED LETTERING~
Blurred Edges to soften

While working on several special order Valentine Projects I couldn't help but share with you two darling vintage prints that were passed along to me by a friend. I've used both cherub postcard images and made them into charming little Sachet Pillows and they came out very sweet! I'll be showcasing them later this week...stay tuned!

I just love the Sepia tones, don't you? Possibilities are endless! I think either image will look wonderful used in a collage, shadow box, made into hang tags, etc. I removed the writing in the second of each of the images for you and blurred the edges to soften them a bit as well!

Feel free to copy either of the graphics and use as you wish! I'd love to see what you've come up with when you have time!

Happy CREATING on this frosty Winter Day~

Blessings...Rebecca

PS: I use Paint Shop Pro10 to manipulate my vintage ephemera prints, postcards and other graphics. There are many programs out there to choose from. This one just happens to be the once I chose.
