Sympathy Card

Hello Bleeps!

 Long time no post,huh? Well,I haven't been feeling well (shingles and cold)....then my kids have been off again on again sick too!!! But hopefully everyone will be going to school tomorrow!!!

 I need to ask a favor if you would please.....say prayers for my son....some of you may know a little of his story.....you can read more here. He really is having a hard time,and now that he is living with my mom in TX ...he's finishing up his senior year there (I live in GA)....it makes it hard on me, and him. I know I need to give it to the Lord...that's my weakness....I've always had that problem.....to let go and let God!!! Ultimately God is in control.....I just need to be reminded of that!!! Thanks for any prayers you may give!!!

 Anyways, I made a card for the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog....to use punches. This also fits in the Operation Write Home sketch challenge # 37. I am also selling this stamp set used on this card. Look below the card recipe for more details! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!! ;)

Stylin' with Elements!

I made these two cards using a new Stampin' Up! stamp set. I am really going to try to make two cards at a time when I need to make one....that way I can send one to the troops and such!! I needed a Sympathy card for my neighbor....her Grandma passed away. I think I'm going to start making more of these types of cards.....I always forget about them until I NEED to make one and then it's kinda sad as your creating it,KWIM? They are very simple cards,but I do like how they turned out. Here's the deets and thanks for stopping by....have a great day! ;)
