Showcasing Christmas Bingo Challenges #3 September 1 to October 15 DT card

Loving the HQCB Color Heart #9 BONUS project

 Heartfelt Greetings to my personal blog posting showcasing the current theme at Heart's Quest Challenge Blog!

Color Heart #9 theme requires at least 1 orange heart and 1 purple heart. 

This theme launched on October 28 and will end at 12:30am CT/Chicago on November 13th.

For a BONUS design inspiration I've created 2 page entries presented as 1 project from my Scripture Writing Journal. Continuing with the November list from Inscribe the Word shared with members of the Christian Card Makers ~ Women's Fellowship group.

The Scripture sticker has pink hearts but I have 1 purple and 1 orange within the 'gratitude' row as well as an orange and purple striped heart at the bottom of the R page.

Purple and orange have also been used as the accent colors for the Scripture writing. 

Take a look at the launched post at Heart's Quest=

https://heartsquestchallenge.blogspot.com/2022/10/hqcb-color-heart-9-use-orange-heart-and.html

___________________________________

<3  **  <3  **  <3

other inspiration came from "Inspired By" current photo AND sketch=

https://theseinspiredchallenges.blogspot.com/2022/11/inspired-by-pinecones.html

I have pinecones on the left page and the left and right pages have reversibles of the sketch (or at least I'm thinking of them this way). 

With doing the Scripture writing journal entries, I thought the IB sketch design was perfect--some space for my handwriting and some space for printed cardstock(s).

Scripture Writing Journal for November Days 3 and 4 in Autumn Colors of Gratitude

 Howdy and Heartfelt Greetings!

This posting is part 2 of an earlier posting made today. 

I'm getting caught up with the November list of Scripture verses for writing. Days 3 and 4 were just written out about a half hour ago. 

Using same sketch layout, autumn colors with orange and brown to underline "give thanks", and the same Inscribe the Word list for November having the theme of gratitude. 

Here's most of the previous post with some edit removals of items not applying this time around:

 Heartfelt Greetings to my personal blog posting showcasing the current theme at Heart's Quest Challenge Blog!

Color Heart #9 theme requires at least 1 orange heart and 1 purple heart. 

For a BONUS design inspiration I've created 2 page entries presented as 1 project from my Scripture Writing Journal. Continuing with the November list from Inscribe the Word shared with members of the Christian Card Makers ~ Women's Fellowship group.

The Scripture sticker has pink hearts but I have 1 purple and 1 orange within the 'gratitude' row as well as an orange and purple striped heart at the bottom of the R page.

Purple and orange have also been used as the accent colors for the Scripture writing. 

Take a look at the launched post at Heart's Quest=

other inspiration came from "Inspired By" current sketch=

https://theseinspiredchallenges.blogspot.com/2022/11/inspired-by-pinecones.html

 the left and right pages have reversibles of the sketch (or at least I'm thinking of them this way). 

With doing the Scripture writing journal entries, I thought the IB sketch design was perfect--some space for my handwriting and some space for printed cardstock(s).
