Welcome back to the Faith Based Challenges of 2013! 

Each month I'm sharing one of my favorite songs with you 

to encourage you to create your own faith based pages from them 

– create scrapbook pages, art pages, or journaling pages –
whatever you’re led to do! 

And I’d love to have you share them with me! 

The Summer of 2007 one or both of our parents was hospitalized for about 12 weeks – a tough time for us as a family. Since our dad was blind and had some dementia one of us needed to be there all the time; and we all live over an hour away. So there was lots of driving back and forth and back and forth [and back and forth] – add in our own work schedules and family commitments and it =
One. Stressful.  Summer. 

 But the Lord gave this album to me to listen to while on the road

 – and it spoke to my heart. 

He used it to heal my hurts and comfort my sorrows 

and help me give Him the praise even in the midst of pain. 

I love to listen to it still. 

And I want to share some of my favorites with you this year! 
Today we're listening to 
The Music of My Heart - 

[love the little of beat that comes with ' wrapped like a valentine full of love divine!'
Click here to see the lyrics - 
and here's my project for this month - I actually did a journal page too - 

but I loved working on these little paper mache' hearts [not as easy to make 'from scratch' as I remembered - so my advice is - buy the paper mache' mix - ha.]
I formed the hearts out of foil and then covered in paper mache' [old school = newspaper + flour + water] then wrapped in paper towels and painted red. I also put a wash of darker red on for dimension - I added in baby bracelet beads [faith - hope - love] on twine and glued them down to a frame with newsprint patterned paper.
