Coffee with BFF's

May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;

establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.

                                                          Psalm 90:17 | NIV 

Created another card using an Art Impressions stamp set.  Glad I'm back to making cards again. I love to challenge myself on how my cards should look. Oh! and another reason I'm happy to be making cards again is, my copic's was starting to dry up.  We need to keep things working, including myself! LOL

The Kid In You

Salvation is found in no one else,

for there is no other name under heaven 

given to mankind by which we must be saved.

Acts 4:12

I hope everyone is staying healthy and being creative while quarantined! I've been keeping myself busy with all kinds of crafts. Anything from beading, making facemask, sewing handbags and yes I am still making cards. I haven't posted any of them in a little over three years though. It's like exercising, once you quit it's hard to get back into the rhythm. Although I have missed blogging the challenges and most of all, I've missed all of you. I love sharing my ideas and inspirations. There's something about sharing that makes a person feel good. So here it goes my first card in three years.

Form Godly Habits
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and
mind . . . talking about them when you sit at
home and when you walk along the road, when you

that the heavens are above the earth.

Hello everyone! It's been quite a couple of months here. I had some last minute ideas for Christmas gifts that I made that kept me pretty busy. I knitted two scarfs, tried my hand at making bath bombs, monkey simple, made eight tiny purses using a Tonic die and eight cases for each one. I will post one or more yet this week. 

So now I am going to try and get back on track to get things posted on a regular basis. Here we go with a Christmas card.
