Blessing Abound and Surround Me!




I have a card to share with you today.  It's not really a "new" card since I created it nearly two months ago, but I just haven't shared it with you.  Since I've been doing other things, like preparing for Christmas and haven't really be creating much, I thought this would be a great opportunity to share it with you.


Using a border punch I created a scalloped edge on this beautiful patterned paper from Webster Pages and layered it with dimensional foam tape onto the card base.  I really do love the sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps' Blessed by You set. I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of the same patterned paper and then stamped the wonderful framed image from Very Vintage Labels #4 and then die cut it with my Labels 4 Nestabilities.  I added a wonderful swirl of Zva Creative Flourish, topped with a flower button and loops of Faux Suede ribbon


I try to be aware of, and acknowledge, the blessings that I'm graced with and some days I'm totally overwhelmed with how very fortunate I am.  I hope that you also find yourself counting blessings rather than troubles.  It's so much more uplifting to think of the positives, rather than negatives.  


Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope your Sunday is one blessed with warm and toasty thoughts, even if the weather outside is cold and uninviting. Have a great day.
