I love it when you can do something fun in a flash... usually cards take me a couple of hours this one came together really quick... which is good I have lots to do today!!...  My dad ask for a card to send to my church, Life Church in RBC... they have been so good to him!.  Pastor David was there, over an hour away, at 6am to visit with him before surgery... and 3 ladies from my church took him food... and then the Lady's Sunday School class sent him cards! This has touched both of our hearts so much!!  I prayed for this card... right after that I walked down to my scrap table and there lay the tree trunk that I had not used on another card...I though all that needs is some circles behind it to make a great tree...then I hand cut the grass... the only cuts I made today were the bird and the turtle...they are both from Live Simply... I didn't save them so I don't know what size I cut them... sorry! ... Thank you so much for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

I made this card as a thank you card for my pastor, who is wonderful… my Daddy is having surgery next tomorrow in B’ham about an hour and a half away… at six the morning… Pastor David is coming to pray with my dad before surgery!!… I wanted to thank him… there is not enough words… I hope this makes him know how much this means to us.

I have several cards that I need to make… I had a really special birthday and I have some people to thank!… this is the first of my thank you cards…. I won’t mention who its for so maybe they will be a bit surprised when it arrives!… I got to try out my new Sugar and Spice cartridge on this card… and the tags feature on the Once Upon a Princess is priceless… that cartridge is now my go to when I need a place to put text!!… if you haven’t noticed it has a tag feature…then you hit sift and these two pieced work together to make a beautiful tag… I duplicated the circle that was the center of this cut and tapped the circle on my Gypsy, the one that makes images larger, a couple of times so I could add a little more color. I sure hope that you like this… I hope that my sweet friend… oops I almost said it… likes it too….

I wanted to make a card today...and had no starting place at all!!!... so I decided to use a pick a design that I felt I would probably never use and see what I could come up with... that is how this card evolved... the emblem in the black circle is what I started with... and then I just went from there... I wish that I had embossed the white piece with the Swiss dots folder but thought of that only after it was too late to do it... silly me!! I hope you like my odd little thank you card.
