Prayer Request

I have a special prayer request. My daughter’s brother-in-law was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. He is currently paralyzed from the nose down and his only form of communication is by blinking his eyes. They flew his brother (my daughter’s husband) home from Afghanistan for 10 days but he had to return. This boy is only 22 years old and is still not out of the woods. Please pray for him and his family.…

Hoping for a new venture

Well I am going out on a limb and trying this again. I have applied for several design teams and have not been lucky enough to be chosen. I was checking out the forums on Splitcoast Stampers and just popped into the design team calls and saw there was one posted for The Pixie Cottage.

When I saw the colors you were to use, I wasn’t sure how I was going to use them all.…

This was a quick card so not much explanation needed. I used the sketch from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge for this week. I thought the card would look plain when I added my strips so I stamped the background with a swirl, but the strips were…

Building Up My Stash

I have another cute Halloween card for you today. I have not broken into my new Halloween paper yet. Maybe I will have to use some of it soon as the colors are very similar to the retired paper I used on this card. I was able to use some of my wide grosgrain ribbon on this card. I used the sketch from Splitcoast’s Card Sketches that is posted on Wednesday. It was a good…
