Happy Birthday Jesus Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Happy Birthday Jesus" blog hop hosted by Lynne Kirsch and Lorby's World. 

The holiday season is in full swing and with it rushing to get up the decorations and buy all those presents but in our rush we sometimes forget the whole reason we have this beautiful holiday - to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

A wonderful line up of people have come together and put their rushed holiday lives on hold to show the true meaning of Christmas. Please hop through and leave them each a comment since they have worked hard to help make this hop a success.

We have five wonderful sponsors today.

I saw this stamp at Michael's and thought it was perfect for this hop so here it is...

A mixed bag of crystals and half pearls from Miriam's Crafting Supplies.

Over 3 yards of each holiday twine colors from Divine Twine.

I took a dark blue sheet of card stock and cut it in half long way. I then scored it at 1.5 inches, 3 inches and 7 inches. I glued on my manger and then cut around the stamp and straight back. I need to show video I'm thinking but I don't have video. Might make a good video in the future. I then attached the Jesus is the Reason behind the manger scene. If you're looking down at the card like you would be on a table, you can see how it flows. I didn't realized the words look covered up until my camera battery was dead. I have it on the charger now but that's not going to help my post, is it?  I used my Winder Glitter Glue to add the designs to the sides of the cards.
