For the 4th Anniversary Release this year, I chose a quote. This quote is part of the ODBD Quote Collection 1 stamp sets. One of my favorite inspirational speakers/preachers is Joyce Meyer. This quote really says it all when it comes to worry. Worry is a useless action and a waste of time. This quote reminds me to turn to God at all times and in all things. Exercising my faith is a more worthy endeavor than senseless worrying. I
combined some older My Mind's Eye dp with some newer patterns. Sort of mixing it up a bit. I am also using a new 2012 Spellbinder's! I also tucked in the background a new 2012 Impressabilities folder by Spellbinders! Love these! I thought the new frame looked great with one of my EK Success border punches. I finished with a few prima flowers, seam binding bow and a few tiny gold pearls.As always thanks so much for hopping by!
Next on the hop is Jan Marie Ennenga's Blog!

Simply beautiful card for a wonderful reminder. Thanks for both!
ReplyDeleteLove all the detail! Pearls and stitching and layers. The sentiment is great and something we all need to remember. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those cards that I wonder how to classify. It's not a sympathy card, not an anniversary or birthday card. All I know is it's a very important card that encourages a friend in a time when they need it most. It's the kind of card you least expect, which cheers you up more than flower or any other gift. So beautiful. I really like this one.
ReplyDeleteLovely card.

ReplyDeleteHi Betty!
ReplyDeleteWow! You thought of a wonderful quote! It is so to the point and purposeful! I need to make a banner with it and put it on my "Wall of Inspiration" in my art room as a reminder. I seem to forget until I am in it, and then a friend will remind me! LOL
Your card is bright and cheerful! I love the combination of papers. The red stands for "Stop" and "pay attention." The green reminds me to "Go" and take this action. I always love flowers and bows...and yours are no exception!
