Blessings, everyone!
I had the chance to ink up the new 'All Blessings Flow'
from the latest Greetery release.
I'm in love with the font of the verse and how amazing it
looks surrounded by the flora included in the set.
The die cuts were fitted in my Misti and sponge stamped many times
for a watery multicolored look.
I just had to try the new Square Dance die, so I did a
second card, this time die cutting the font before adding
it with foam tape.
This time I tucked the sprigs and berries around the verse
I don't have a recipient for either card in mind. It really
is a blessing I needed, reminding myself to praise God in
all circumstances.
I live in California's Central Valley, very near the fires that
have ravaged the sierras. As of today, nearly 200,000 acres
have been lost. We have a family cabin near one of the lakes
in the Sierra Nevada Range, and, thank God, our cabin still stands.
But I am aware that many lost homes, and even the road that
leads up to hills is impassable.
The fires all over California have been horrendous, sending
choking smoke and ash for miles into our valley. At one
point, the valiant firefighters formed a rim around the town
of Shaver, and would not let the fire advance! They saved
all but a few cabins and stores. So profoundly grateful to
them!
Our forests and redwoods are the jewels of our state, and to watch them
burn breaks my heart!
Thank you for letting me share a bit of my heart today.
Card Creating has been a joy of mine for years. And
through the stamps and making cards, I remember the blessings
and rewards being creative brings, in good times and bad.
