Wow! It has been since the end of July since I have posted a card on the SCS gallery! This was due to having my other knee totally replaced this past August, causing me to take a hiatus from the Clear Dollar Stamps Design Team, then my elderly widowed father developed a leg aneurysm, requiring an arterial bypass and then he decided to move into an apartment a few weeks after surgery, and now he wants to auction the family home! Whew! I have been a little pre-occuped, but it is SO good to be stamping again!
This card was made for Laurie Wilson's "Clearly Delightful Blog Challenge #1". Laurie has illustrated the cutest digi image of a darling rabbit, so her theme for her first blog challenge was "wabbits".
Everyone who participates in her challenge receives her adorable digi image FREE through email! I have never used digital images before, but this "wabbit" is calling me and I'm thinking that I need to explore digital imaging.
This card also was meaningful to me, as I had so many, many faithful friends who prayed for my surgery, my father's surgery and for all the struggles that I faced during my hiatus from CDS. So, this card is to celebrate all those faithful friends! You truly have touched my heart and I am forever humbled by your love, concern and prayers.
