Don't count sheep...talk to the shepherd.

Good day ladies....This is another page for the album of Me...another promise to myself in the new year. I am a big worrier and I try very hard to let go and let God....this is one of the things I used to say to my mom...a big worrier too....Don't count sheep, talk to the shepherd....so when I wake at night and my mind is full of thoughts that I cannot control....I promise to give it to God and pray about it. I know he can do lots more with it than I can.
All of the patterned papers are from the K&Co classic stack, I used some chalking and stickles to add some depth to the cuts. The sheep are from Paper Doll Dress Up....
The font is from Winter Woodlands, the clouds from Zoobaloo. I added some lace along the left side of the pic and a bit of silver lining to the clouds. The frame for sheep is from Paper Doll Dress Up...the extra stars are from Plantin.
I used Sandi's emery board distressing technique on the marquee mats....love how they came out...the computer generated words are Ba tang and I simply cut the paper randomly around the letters. The moon and stars are also Paper Doll Dress Up.
My tree is from Stamping, the shepherds hook and fence are from Paper Doll Dress Up....I cut the end of the fence from the one on the cart. My mats are from Storybook.....Hope you are all having a great weekend.....I hope to get lots of scrapping done so see ya soon....Thanx so much for stopping by!

  3. Sandy I had to come and see the detail on this page too. It is so beautiful! I taught my children that if you couldn't sleep at night its because God want you to pray for a specific person, problem or need. Just pray and you are sure to fall asleep in 'The Master's Arms'. Obviously you feel the same way! I love it. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

  4. Alright, if you're post this kind of stuff in the new year, I have seriously got to have some tissue by the laptop!

    this is a stunning photo of you! I couldn't agree more with talking to the Shepherd. My resolution is to grow my relationship with God. You have just inspired me to do an album about me this year.

    Sandy, you have such a kind and compassionate heart and I know that we may not understand God's plans for us, but I know through prayers, he will reveal yours. I keep you in my prayers!
    Blessings,

  5. Sandy, I just love all the beautiful layouts you come up with. You really are a talented and lovely soul. I love the beauty you show. We have a lot in common and this is very inspirational for me, as I need to stop laying awake at night on those crazy days counting sheep and let go because only God can ease our worries. :D I really enjoy your use of your Cricut, as you've inspired me to do more with mine each day! I love this photo of you - it is so bright and cheerful as the person you are. God bless you my friend! ;D
