So here is what I made for today. As a Christian, I am trying to reconnect with the Hebrew roots of our faith. I consider myself a crossed-over Hebrew. My Savior was a Rabbi and He taught us to keep the principles and teachings of the Word. One of those principles is the counting of the Omer. This is the time when you set aside some time each day to read a passage from Psalm 119 and reflect upon that. It is the 50 days between Pesach...Passover and Pentecost. It is a truly humbling experience. Did you know that Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible? Did you know that each little subsection is entitled with a letter from the Hebrew Alphabet....Yep this is OUR BIBLE....Our TORAH :)  So to keep track of this, I decided to create a box where I could print off the scriptures and keep them on the table for everyone in the home to take and read. Sometimes it is such a revolving door around here with school and work that at least everyone can do it on their schedule.

Here's how I made it.
 

I started with the plain box that I picked up at Michael's for .99. I printed out two sheets of the Exhortation background digital printable I created on cream colored paper. See below for free download.

Next I measured the top and all the sides and cut the paper to each side. I inked the edges of the paper with some QQ Amaretto Chalk Ink. I adhered all the paper to each panel.

I then punched out a strip of the same paper with my MS punch. I punched out on both sides of the strip. I inked the edges of them and adhered them to each corner. This was to give the appearance of some "hardware" but really to keep the edges of the paper from curling over time and use.

Here is a close up of the "edges".

Next, I cut out the Flourished Box Top-Rectangle Frame file that I created. I inked it very heavily to give it that vintage look. See below for free download.

Then I printed out the scripture Psalm 90 verse 12 and then cut it out with my Pazzles. I Inked that and adhered it to the box top. See below for free download.

Lastly, I added some Prima Flowers and some butterflies cut from my MS punch.

So what would a hop be without some wonderful blog candy!!!
