This kit will be on sale at an introductory price for 20% off until September 4th, 2008.

It took all day to get this pulled together, but I finally got it up in the store.  I normally do not release new art directly for digital clip art, but I intentionally created these kits for this purpose.  So many of you are so patient with me when I show you art that you can’t have yet I wanted to do something special for this season and for my special friends!

There are quite a few pumpkins, pumpkin leaves and vines that  you can put together to make borders, frames or other items with.  In addition there’s an adorable art piece with a pumpkin-headed scarecrow, owl and a fun autumn tree.

This kit will also work very well with the Fall/Harvest sets that I released last year (and hope to have up on this site during the next week).  There will be a paper pack to match that will be out shortly.

In addition, later this week or next, there will be a sweet, innocent, non-scary Halloween set coming.  The art for it was painted at the same time this art was and it will coordinate perfectly together.

Freebie, Anticipating the Coming Fall Season with Joy!

Free digital printable recipe card halloween, scarecrow, pumpkin, trick or treat, candy cornCLICK HERE FOR LINK TO FREE RECIPE CARD DOWNLOAD Those of you that know me, know that I ADORE THE FALL!!!  The first crisp day of the fall season is one of my favorite days of the year.  Perhaps it’s because I live in a very warm summer area of the country and don’t particularly enjoy heat.  Perhaps it is because I love the warm, spiritual focus of Thanksgiving and Christmas and the first day of fall reminds us all that these seasons are approaching.  All I know is that I felt the tiniest hint of coolness a night or two ago and my heart soared, LOL!

I am working on brand new art this week.  Normally I don’t release brand new art to digital use until 2 or 3 years of licensing has passed, but I’m going to break my rules on this one.  I’ve been painting up a storm and have a freebie to give you a sneak peek of what’s to come.

These recipe cards show art from two of the kits, one is purely pumpkins and fall, the other is a very sweet, non-scary Halloween kit.  Each is available in a lined and unlined version so you can hand write or type in your recipes.  I hope you’ll enjoy both the sneak peek and the freebie recipe cards.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:  Ps 5:11-12  But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.   For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.  NIV

PRAYER:  Lord, help me to remember as I struggle with the challenges of each day that you desire to be a refuge for me to run into.  You want me to come with you with each stress, each joy, each sadness and trouble.  Basically, you want me to come to you with EVERYTHING!

A refuge is a safe place, a resting place and a place that can be defended.  Help me to rejoice knowing that you are standing guard over me and surrounding me with your inpenetrable shield.  Thank you Lord that you are blessing my life as I rest and rejoice in you.  AMEN

As I was creating the pieces I was really enjoying the way the colors were working together and the fun, young feel that they were producing.  Then I realized that they needed two more things to be complete, a whimsical butterfly and dragonfly to play in the garden!  So off to the art desk I went and here is the result.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:  Ps 34:11-18  I will teach you the fear of the LORD.  Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.  Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry; the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.   The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.  The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.  NIV

PRAYER:  Lord, as I see the innocent being slaughtered and cry out to be saved, my heart cries out to you to deliver them from evil.  Where man is powerless, let your power be shown.  Give wisdom to the international community to know how to stop the aggression, not just temporarily but in a way that will lead to a lasting peace.  Let those that are evil in your eyes be cut off and their plans come to ruin.

Take what the enemy would have desired to produce evil and make out of it a great good.  Only you can do this Lord, we trust in you.  AMEN

New! Photo Frame-ups Digital Photo Mat Freebie

LINK TO PHOTO FRAME UP DOWNLOAD HERE This is the first of what will be many Photo Frame-up kits that you can send to places like Wal-Mart, Target or other photo developers that can handle digital images.  The size of this is 4″ x 8″

All you need to do is add your pictures underneath the png format file and size to fit.  Then save the file as a jpeg format (or other file type required by your photo developing service) and send to your favorite lab.  I checked this morning and saw that Wal-mart sells this size print for as low as 33 cents per print.

This would make a beautiful baby announcement.  Just add a baby picture or two and the baby’s information in the text box and print.  You can also create your own greeting card by using this as a card front rather than a photo frame-up.

In case you were wondering which art kit this is from, this is a new kit that I am working on called “Wildflower Sonata.” It’s available now in my store at the above links.  It’s a bright, sunny, fun, younger feeling kit that will be perfect for a lot of uses including card making, scrapbooking and crafting.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:  Ps 56:3-4  when I am afraid, I will trust in you.   In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid.  What can mortal man do to me?  NIV

COMMENTS:  Isn’t it amazing how quickly our world can change and the prospects for peace or war?  When things in the world seem suddenly out of control, it is easy to become afraid.  I love this verse because the psalmist doesn’t say “When I am afraid you lecture me.”  Nor does he say, “God only rescues me when I am not afraid.”   It also lets me know that faith isn’t an absence of fear, but it is turning to God when I am afraid.

In an every-changing world it is important to remember that nothing comes as a surprise to the Lord.  When we rest in Him, He will be with us and see us through.

PRAYER:  Lord, this week the world suddenly changed and it was easy for fear and uncertainty to threaten to overwhelm me.  I admit that at times like this, I am afraid of the future and what it will hold.  Help me to overcome my fear by running into your arms.  When I am afraid, show me ways to actively trust you.  Teach me to praise you and remind myself of everything that your word says about you!  Thank you Lord for your protection.  I rest in your power and your love.  AMEN

Deep reds and greens with parchment tan makes up the color palette.  I hope that you will enjoy the classic, natural feel of this artwork and the quilts that were created from it!

Unfortunately, my store has suddenly stopped showing the extra product shots of the kits.  It is my habit to show 100% of the pieces included in an art kit in the previews.  I like to see what I’m buying anytime I buy something, so I make sure that you can too.  So I’ll show all of the previews here and my helper will probably be able to help me figure it out when she gets back from her weekend away.

This set is called “Nature’s Christmas” and has an elegant, woodsy feel to it.  I love to alternate between glitzy glamourous Christmas decor and then a more natural feeling Christmas.  My favorite place to celebrate Christmas is up in the mountains at Hume Lake Christian Conference center, especially when they get an early snow.  This set captures those wonderful memories for me and I hope will help you create some very special memories this coming holiday season!

I want to remind you that there are only 133 days left until Christmas.  If you are like me and want to do so much but never quite get it done.  Think of one project you can work on this month and get it done.  You’ll feel so good about it that it will give you the momentum to keep going — honest!!!  The years that I’ve done that have been such fun and special holidays.  It’s so much fun to have “guiltless” holidays.  If we stick together we can do it!!!

SCRIPTURE:  1 Tim 2:1-2  I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.  NIV

PRAYER:  Lord, remind us to pray for our nation’s leaders frequently.  We forget and so often we complain about them more than we pray for them.  Complaining doesn’t seem to bring much change, but prayer will!

As our nation (USA) prepares to elect new government officials this fall, please give us the officials that will be a blessing to your people  and to your kingdom.  Lord, please give us the rulers we need not necessarily the rulers we think we need!  For those in other nations as well, raise up godly leaders that will rule in wisdom, with sound governmental principles and bring peace and quiet to their lands.  AMEN
