We Remember

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

The Beatitudes, Matthew 5:4

Twelve years ago terrorists attacked the U.S., killing hundreds at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania.  Today we are facing yet another situation where evil has taken center stage.  Let’s take a moment today to pray for the families of those who lost their life twelve years ago, and pray for a revival in our country that will lead our decision-makers to choose the best and most Godly way to tackle the terror abroad.  This day should be one of  reflection on the blessings we receive each day because of our Savior.

Just a quick card to day for the Just Add Ink color challenge, but, unfortunately I forgot the time difference between here and Australia, so I missed the deadline.  But you can still check out the fabulous creations by the designers, as well as the terrific participant gallery.  Lots of inspiration, just for you!



And here is my card.  It’s a CAS (Clean and Simple) card and I love it. The sketch was inspired by mamamostamps.com and I will be using it for a quick WOW card in the future.  It would make a terrific design for a set of notecards.

Kindness Matters

I could send this card to thousands of people and I’ll bet you could too.  I have been blessed so many times with the kindness of others.  God has put wonderful people in my life- I wish I could list them all.  Some of these wonderful people are kind enough to ready this blog.  This card is for you.

I altered yesterday’s CAS challenge sketch and used the gorgeous color combo in today’s Color Challenge.  AND, found a reason to use the cutest and sweetest new Stampin’ Up! set Kindness Matters.  AND, if that isn’t enough, I made my very first Gerbera daisy from my brand new Flower, Daisies #2 Bigz Die.  This is absolutely “to die for.”

We had a wonderful weekend in Franklin with Isabella and her parents.  Growing. Like. A. Weed.  Here’s the little princess crawling down the hall with her Poppy:
