Rainy Monday

It is a rainy and somewhat cooler day today. Praise the Lord. We need the rain and the cooler temperature is welcomed! We have been pretty hot the last few weeks.

Last night I made this card for my cousin who is battling cancer. His birthday is on Wednesday and I wanted to wish him a happy day. Hopefully he will be able to go home from the hospital before Wednesday so he can celebrate at home.

I used my old favorite stamp set Lovely as a Tree--what a GREAT set! The cardstock is Kraft, Whisper White and Parisian Summer Speciality DP. Elegant Cheer was used for the sentiment and the inside sentiment came from God's Blessings set. I used the scallop border punch and the corner rounder to give the card a special touch. The velvet ribbon and hardware finishes it off. Hope you like it!

Here is another card I made over the weekend. A young lady in my church is getting married in October and we had a shower for her last night before service. It was a perfect opportunity to play with my new Great Friend set and Cottage Garden DP. I also used my new matchbox die. I am loving all this new stuff!!!!

With both kids out of the house and hubby travelling this month, I expect to get soooo much accomplished in my stamp and sew room. Who knows, I may even get around to sewing on my cards! Until tomorrow when I hope to have a sewing project to show--remember God loves you!
