Hello Friends...

Meet today's labor of love: 

I spent a lot of time on this card... from trying to die-cut the heavy card stock to figure the embellishments out... love the result! 

The background was made with Tim Holtz alcohol inks (one of those not so cool backgrounds)... the die-cut panel added just the perfect finish to it... 

Be safe and God bless!

Hello Friends...

I was really busy (and in a funky mood) for the last 3 weeks... my baby boy left for college! I can't believe time went by so fast... while he is only 1-1/2 hrs away and is already home for the weekend, him leaving was really hard on me... countless sleepless nights just worrying about his future and thinking what life will be, instead of trusting the LORD! Yeah, how silly of me! I should have known God has it! 

"And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10 ESV

......

Hopefully I will be in my craft room more often again, because I do love crafting and miss it so much when I don't take the time...

I have a fun rainbow card today... nothing too fancy, just lots of colors and blings! I already had the paintbrush colored and cut out on my desk, so I didn't have to spend much time on this card...

I used watercolor paper and distress inks... I love how the ink reacts to water! So awesome and different every time.

To embellish the card, I used up some of my buttons... I have so many... it's time I started to use them...

Until next time,

Monika
