Pretty Tulips

Good Morning! We're now on the downhill side of this week. Whoo-hoo!!

I am here to share a card with you that features one the newest images from Sweet n Sassy Stamps. This gorgeous image is available in both digi and stamp formats. These Spring Tulips are so beautiful, I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to color them well enough to do the image justice. I think they turned out really pretty.

I really like the added texture with the embossed grid and the plaid ribbon. I need to find some paper that matches that ribbon so I can create a custom lined envelope for the card. Any suggestions? LOL

I hope you like my card - I am pretty pleased with it. Have a happy Thursday and thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs & Blessings,
Melissa

God made you special.....

...and He loves you very much. Are those words familiar to you? My kids were huge Veggie Tales fans and even now that they've out grown the sweet singing/acting vegetables, they will still watch them once in awhile or sing a silly song. Well, with the great line up of new releases this month, the sentiment (used on my card) from One of a Kind reminded me of Bob's wise words.

God did make you for a special purpose and I truly believe that in the way we treat each other, love our families and worship Him is a glimpse of the person He is molding you to be. Our real potential will never fully be developed until we are in Heaven with Him, but I think that here on earth we certainly should be practicing.

You can practice by just saying a little prayer for a friend, or helping a child see the awe of Creation or just being kind enough to create a card for someone special. So go ahead... practice!

Many hugs & blessings,
Melissa
