Bible Verse Challenge April 08: Psalms 119:105

Published by rainy at 10:23 am under Cards SUO, Projects, SCS Challenges, Templates, Tips and Tutorials

Lori Craig has organized a Bible Verse Challenge over on Splitcoaststampers. “We’ll each create an on-going altered journal, rolodex card, scrapbook page, ATC or recipe card project… Each month we will choose a verse and get to stamping. We’ll add that piece to our collection.” Here is my first scripture card, the storage box and dividers.

Isn’t this a wonderful idea and challenge! I am just now joining in for the month of April. I plan to make this more than just a year long project.. perhaps a life long project. The scripture card hangs from the picture hooks in plain view all month. As I create the next month’s card, I will simply take the old one off from the hooks and file it under the month in which I created and memorized it. It will be easily available if I choose to refer back. Oh and another easy change each month could be the ribbon around the hangers. Thank you, Lori, for such a meaningful and awesome challenge!!

The finished box measures 5-3/4″ wide X 4-1/2″ tall X 3″ deep. Each scripture card measures 4″ X 5-1/4″. The center of the holes for the eyelets on the scripture card are 5/8″ from the top and 1″ from the side of the card.

The holes for the brads are placed 1/8″ from the top and 1-1/4″ from the side fold on the box.

These are just the regular inexpensive picture hangers that measure 7/8″ in length. The holes for the brads are placed 1/8″ from the top and 1-1/4″ from the side fold.

Each divider card measure 4-1/2″ X 5-1/2″ not including the tab.

This is gorgeous and something to be treasured for years to come!
# nanon 10 Apr 2008 at 7:34 am

This is a great idea - and it would be the perfect RS super Saturday gift to make….if you’re really nice to me I won’t suggest it though! Glad you made it home - no cards in Mexico? I was waiting to see if you posted anything from PV with cards - but I guess you were too busy floating in the pool. I’m waiting for the baby - very impatiently I might add - but she’ll be induced on Monday so I’ve only got to get myself through the weekend! I love your mom’s cards - they are beautiful - are you going to do something with them? Frame them? The 3 of them framed together would be beautiful!
Time to eat…then shop…that’s all I’ve done for the last week! I’m gaining “baby weight” right along with Lyndsey - but at least I have new shoes!
# Renéeon 10 Apr 2008 at 8:06 am

wow, this is gorgeous! I love the picture hangers on the front, fabulous idea for having the scripture verse in front for the month, actaully a great devotional tool. I may just have to case this idea! Thanks so much for showing how you made it.
# Angie Z.on 10 Apr 2008 at 10:11 am

# Rosellaon 10 Apr 2008 at 11:21 am

Susan, this is beautiful!! I’ve been playing with this idea, just hadn’t quite come up with a template for the box. Thank you for sharing it with us!! Now I don’t have an excuse!!
# Michelle Williamson 10 Apr 2008 at 12:06 pm

This is a fabulous idea and you made it so beautifully!!! No surprise. I love your color schemes and paterns!

That is so funny that Nan suggested a RS class because that is exactly what I was thinking and I will ask!!!!! heeeheee Maybe for September?

It will be great for scripture mastery in seminary, but you would need 2 scriptures per month. I might have to make one for Terry’s classroom! Would you help me do it? Beleive it or not I am all thumbs when it comes to this .
# Jenon 10 Apr 2008 at 1:04 pm

This is just beautiful!!! I love the colors you used, so peaceful!

Love the design of this box for hanging and storing your verses - thanks for sharing the instructions!
# gramee2elion 16 Jun 2008 at 9:01 pm

Super template for retreat destination packing of craft materials and embellishments. Small hanger, brads, and bookplate for owner id provide heavy metal to balance display/treasure storage supplying total attention and eye candy of Bible scripture to be hidden in the heart. Grace and peace be unto you treasuring dot and tittle, all powerful Word.
