Introducing
It gives me GREAT pleasure to Introduce to you a BRAND NEW series, the Holiday Collection for Winter of 2011! There are a host of images that have “glass ornaments” in them of two different colors for this year: blue and red.
Additional images, both with Scripture and with-out Scripture, will be added to the site as time permits! Folks have already let me know that the backs are just as neat as the fronts, so for this set there are a few that have been made to “showcase” that concept of the back of cards which can be used as prints, screensaver images and backgrounds.
Many of them have Scripture, while others are Holiday titled, but the back will always have the Philippians 2:7-8 KJV on them, as follows:
“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
Philippians 2:7-8 | King James Version
The Ultimate Encouragement Series
It would be difficult for anyone who even has a vague idea about Christmas to not know what the Celebration is all about – the birth of Jesus Christ. All of the “ancient” retelling of the olden times in which baby Jesus was born and was lain in a manger because there was no room in the Bethlehem Inn for Joseph and Mary, are things many of us can easily recall from our youth. They would continue to understanding that Jesus didn’t have a “roof” under his head in his Service to the LORD.
Touching the hem of Jesus’ garment, as shared with us in the Gospel according to Luke, chapter 8, verse 44 and following:
“Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?”
Luke 8:44-45 | King James Version
The woman being spoken of was healed by merely touching the border or hem of his garment – she had been “Encouraged” to do so because of what she saw in Him. Will we commit and think upon what Jesus Himself told the woman when she came forward? Here’s what she said in Luke, chapter 8, verse 48:
“And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.”
Luke 8:48 | King James Version
Likewise we should want each and every print in this series as well as all of the rest of them, to remind those who see them to remember what the Lord has done for them!
NOTE: Note to self – there are NO flowers in this series – so it is possible to do so!
The Five Groupings
There are five groupings or classes of designs, which total up to be thirty-four (34) images designed for this series.
Blue Ornament & Spiral Tree
This set of blue ornaments and stardust tree contains a mixture of portrait and landscape oriented pieces totaling 15 design units. Twelve (12) of those designs have Scripture incorporated in them from Matthew, Luke and John.
Scripture from Matthew:
“And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.”
Matthew 2:6 | King James Version
Scripture from Luke:
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:11 | King James Version
Scripture from John:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
John 1:1, 3, 14 | King James Version
Blue Ornament Alone
This set of blue background and a single gold colored ornament provides a view which in essence cannot be denied. Your mind will tell you that it is there and it is round, all the while the captivation is but something allusive… It was engineered to give the opportunity of the “looker” to look again and want to be drawn closer to it to see if it really is what is first appeared to be. Our lives are just like that – they should see Christ in us by every action, deed, place we go, word we speak… They will see us, watching to see if what they “think” they see is indeed what they are seeing in us – will it be like the imagery used in this design?
There are four (4) total images in this set, consisting of one large “ornament” and four different “tag-lines” or titles of fashions presented including:
- We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
- Merry Christmas
Red Ornaments Triple Hanging
This set of red ornaments contains a mixture of portrait and landscape oriented pieces totaling 10 design units. Eight of those designs have Scripture incorporated in them from Isaiah and Luke.
Scripture from Isaiah:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6 | King James Version
Scripture from Luke:
“And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:12 | King James Version
The two tall formats have Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas along the right side edge from top to bottom.
Red Ornaments Single
This set of single red ornament designs incorporate both a portrait oriented piece as well as two landscape pieces. In addition to the two orientations, these three pieces are titled artwork only. One large gold decorative ornament with red and gold bursting stars with Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas in gold written across the bottom presents the bright transparency in gold and red. The final image is made of a weighted large gold decorative ornament with red and gold bursting stars with Merry Christmas in gold emboldened across lower part of the image.
Back of Card
There are three designs made for the back of the Holiday Collection for 2011 series cards/design/prints. Each design has Philippians 2:7-8 | KJV as follows:
“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
Philippians 2:8 | King James Version
These images have been SO much of a surprise that folks would like them – for God’s Honor, Glory, Magnification…
We are to BE the ENCOURAGERS!
