Anyway.... because I was away, I am running like mad to catch up since I got home late this afternoon! I wanted to share a sneak peek with your of a new release coming on April 1 at Our Daily Bread designs. This image is from the set Happy Mother's Day, and the sentiment is from another set called Mom. Both sets are beautiful and so versatile. They include those hard to find words like Daughter, Grandma, and more... Stay tuned for more sneaks soon!
I made it for this week's Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge, to make a Clean and Simple card. For me, THAT is a challenge!!! I loved the verse the challenge was based on....
Ps. 51:7-10 "Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness, let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
A wonderful prayer to pray daily, wouldn't you agree?

ReplyDeleteHi Grace~
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back! I hope your time with your daughter and grand-children was wonderful! I'm sure it was inspiring,too. I get so inspired by children. They say things as they see things.
Your card is just beautiful, Grace. I love the colors in this, and the many different flowers in the ring. Of course your punched corners, and pearls add extra elegance to this card. As does this exquisite butterfly, Grace.
Glad you are back!
