Have You Thanked A Veteran?

The Sisters In Christ challenge for this week is to make a card for our troops. Sunday, at our church, they announced that one of the soliders who died at Ft. Hood is from our church. His wife was packing up their household items to move to TX. My heart goes out to them!!! So, make sure you thank a veteran!!

Sisters In Christ Challenge #11

This is the last card from me until Monday, I promise!

When I first saw this challenge last Sunday, as I was reading it my cousin's name came to mind. She has had a rough time recently & I just thought of her. Every time I sat down to make this card, I had more interruptions it was crazy!
This week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge was to create something to show someone that when times are tough, Christ isn't unseen. Since the new challenge will be posted in just a few hours, I decided I just had to sit down & make this card. My phone rarely rings on Saturday & during the card process, I received 9 phone calls. I finally had to turn the ringer off. It was just crazy!!

My cousin hasn't said much, but I know that she's had a lot going on. She just moved into a new place, in a new city. I pray this card brings her some encouragement.

Etsy Inspired Rose

The Etsy Inspired shop this week is Jared in Kansas. The pictures are gorgeous. This is the one I choose: Pink Rain
I used it for my color inspiration. This card did not end up like I had planned. Not at all! LOL! I know I say that alot! I had a different layout in mind & it just didn't come together like I thought. I did pop the rose up using dimensionals.

Stamp: I love Roses Flourishes
C/S: Pretty in Pink, white
DP: Basic Grey
Circle Nestabilities, pearls, copics, ribbon

Stamptv Sketch Challenge

Isn't this sketch fabulous! I really liked it. This is for the sketch challenge on stamptv.

Stamps: A Year of Flowers
C/S: Real Red, Basic Black, white
Black ribbon, circle nestabilities, copics
Swirls Cuttlebug

My stamping time has been limited this past week. My sweet hubby decided we needed to get some exercise. Over the last week we have hiked 32+ miles. We have found a really good trail for us to use, it has a huge incline, lots of steps, & is just over 5 1/4 miles. Yesterday, we ran part of the trail!!! My youngest son has made the biggest improvement, he's almost 6 & at the beginning of last week, he was asking if we could turn around. Yesterday, he ran and ran and ran. We had to tell him to slow down! I hope to catch up on my stamping this weekend!!
