Healing

 There were a couple of Knee surgeries for a couple ladies at out church and a guy in our life group had a serious accident.

These verses on these coloring cards were just right for the healing of their knees.

• Christian Art gifts - Psalm in color, coloring card, colored w/markers
• Sassafras - Mix and Mend paper
• EK Success - Sparkle gems

I thought adding this butterfly punch to this card would go with the image a bit.

My last card I wasn't sure what to use for our friend. He was helping a neighbor clean up some brush and wood from a tree in his yard. The neighbor turned with the Chain saw and cut into our friends arm. He was able to get him to the hospital and he had to have 10 stitches put into his arm, we were so thankful to hear he still had use of his arm.  I had this Calendar image laying on my desk to use in my junk journal but when I saw it reminded me of how Thankful we were that he didn't have a worse injury, so I thought it would be perfect for a get well card for him.

Christmas embossing

 I actually got my Christmas cards done early this month.  Our challenge with my stamp group was to use embossing folders. My first card also works for the Just us girls Spotlight challenge

• Darice - Mosaic Candle embossing folder, colored with markers
• Spellbinders - A2 matting basics A die
• Hobby Lobby - Country tags

• Fun Stampers Journey - Cozy knit embossing folder, inking around edges
• Paper Studio - 3D Snowman sticker
• Spellbinders - Big Scalloped oval small die
• Diamond Press - Vintage Christmas sentiment stamp, fussy cut and inked

This last one was inspired by the last two cards I will show that I had done before the challenge was posted.

• Darice - Hanging Ornament embossing folder, colored w/ Spectrum Metallic markers
• Hobby Lobby - Country tags

This is a scratch art card kit. I bought it at Michaels on sale before Christmas. It comes black with white outline and you have a wooden stick with a point that you scratch off the white part and what is inside.  I think I like the diamond dotz better.

Sealed

 Using my sealed dies and stamps for another sympathy card I needed.  After stamping the seal I added some Nuvo crystal glaze to give it that seal look. I cut all the flowers and faux string from scraps and inked them.

Northwoods

 Today I am sharing in the Neglected stuff Challenge for my next masculine birthday card. I just don't use my rubber stamps on blocks as much anymore.  I took the stamp off the wood block so I could use it in the Misti stamping platform. I colored it with markers and fussy cut it out. I added some die cut leaves to it and a stamped sentiment I don't think I have used before.
