For a friend . . .

This card was created Sunday after church to send to a dear, dear friend in need of a little love.  The design papers are Basic Gray, the cardstock is New England Ivy and Baby Pink from Close-to-My-Heart.  The stamped images are from the Lovely Shelf set I got by Nina Brackett.  If I hadn't mailed it already (oops!) I might have gone back with my new Copics and done some shadowing!  (can you believe it?  I forgot I had them!)  The vase was stamped twice - once on the base and again, pop-dotted up a little bit.  Perhaps I should have colored the vase, too?  The sentiment inside the card says "Keeping you in earnest prayer".  I'm telling you, it's a lovely set!  (pun was NOT intended - giggle!)

I am SO thankful to be alive!  I feel spring in my steps - joy in the daily activities and am just thrilled by the beauty around me!  I could have gone on and on and on in my list last night!  But there was one thing I really should have included - definitely more than food - possibly more than a safe home - probably more than a pretty church - I am so happy to have YOU my dear blog friends!
