Every Good and Perfect Gift
April 30th, 2012
Happy Monday! Yesterday our church congregation presented our Pastor (and my boss) with an iPad as a gift of appreciation. The Family Pastor asked if I would create a card to go with the gift and of course I happily agreed. Pastor Jeff is a surfer, so I immediately went to the palm tree image from TE Hanging’ Out at the Beach along with the matching die.
I started with a piece of shimmery shite cardstock and masked 2 inches in all around with Eclipse tape and then sponged several colors to create the sunset. Then I used my Scor-pal to create two score lines around all the edges. I stamped the palm tree and colored it with Copics before die cutting it with the palm tree die. Then I die cut the wave and embossed it with a CB embossing folder. The Bible verse is from an old SU set. Some simple liquid pearls finished off the design. I usually have a hard time with masculine cards, but this one came together quite easily and was really fun to work on. 🙂
I’ve been feeling really crummy for the past several days. In fact, on Saturday we decided to just do nothing and pretty much relax all day. I feel a little better today, but still not great. I’ve heard so many friends talking about the green smoothie craze, that when I saw an infomercial for the Nutri-Bullet I decided to give it a try. We went out and bought one yesterday. I still need to get to the market to get some fruits and veggies for it. People who really know me will be shocked by this, I’m sure. I tend to be a bit of a picky eater and I’m not a fan of veggies at all and barely even eat fruit. So…we’ll see how this goes. If you have a favorite green smoothie recipe that veggie-hater might like, please feel free to share it with me. 🙂 I also need to get back on my WW plan. I just haven’t been able to focus on it since I started the new job and I’ve been eating way too much junk. So…smoothies, here I come.
