More is More

I was so excited and encouraged by the wonderful response we all got to our Bible Verse Challenge.  If you’d like to join in, we’d love to have you.  In the future we will be posting our verses on the 8th of each month and the Divine Design Challenge has now been posted on Splitcoast (click here) so check it out for all the challenge rules and please plan to post something on the 8th of February with us…or you can post any time really.  We’d love to have a group of women committed to playing every month.  🙂

Here’s a card I made for Beate’s Weekend Sketch Challenge.  I just got this Paper Salon paper (pristine pretty posies and herringbone) from eclectic Paperie and I had to do something with it right away – it’s so yummy!  Oh and it’s on sale too!

The main image is from an SU set from 2000 called Girl Talk (I’m pretty sure that’s what it was called – I recently broke up the set *gasp* and no longer have the label).  I’ve always loved that little shopping bag image – I don’t care how old it is!  The accent stamping is done with A Beautiful Life – brand new.  So I guess this card is *Something Old – Something New*

I also used my Nestabilties dies for the first time since getting them for Christmas.  It was much easier than I thought – I was a little intimidated by trying to get the right *sandwich* with my CuttleBug, but it worked out no problem.

I’d like to recommend a non-stamping blog for you to check out – Confessions of a CF Husband.  You might want to start back a month or so to really understand the story – try here perhaps.  This is a story of hope and courage and faith and mostly of God’s goodness.  It will probably make you cry, but it’s really not a sad story (I learned that from Nate).  You have to read it (and join in prayer) to know what I’m talking about.  And in fact before you go to Nate’s blog, you should read Tricia’s story first – click here.  I hope you’ll be challenged and encouraged.  I know I have been.

Thanks for stopping by.
