One thing I love about this hobby is that we make things to hopefully make a bright spot in someones day. In a world where things are going wrong all around us, where bad things happen, where people are mean, where people get sick...I know that a card with a positive message, can brighten a day.
The sentiment on this card is one of my new favorites. God is our refuge and strength through these scary times. My heart is going out today, to all the kids in that Colorado school today. I am saddened for them and I can't quit thinking about it. I can't imagine if it were my kids. I pray over my kids every day and I am so lucky to know that we do have God taking care of us, no matter the situation.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and then heat embossed with white powder on gray card stock. Then I added in some colorful strips of paper and a bow. The little enamel dots were an afterthought and I covered them, and the center of the bow with glitter. Now that I sit here looking at it, not sure if I love those enamel dots...but we are going to go with it today. lol
I said it already, but I do love this sentiment (link below). It is one in a new set from Simon Says, called Blessed. And in such a gorgeous font....
