I like this set, I just don't see a lot of use for it. I look at it often, scratch my head, and then pick another set to use. I just don't get the sentiment, don't really know what it is for. Today though, I found out!
I currently live in Western PA, but grew up in, and just recently moved from, Kentucky. My heart is still there. I read the newspaper from my hometown each week. It is only printed once a week, really small town. Well, last week they had a story in there about a woman from the town. She is an older woman who works several part time jobs to get by. One of her jobs is in the fabric department at Walmart (they are one of the lucky ones that still have the fabric department). Through her church she heard about this town in El Salvador, and about the needs for clothes for the children there. She started buying material, ribbons, and patterns whenever she could afford to. In her spare time she started sewing dresses for the little girls there. Her goal was 100 dresses, various sizes and styles. Well, she just reached her goal! How awesome is she??? Each dress is so bright and cheerful and all of them have the cutest buttons and ribbons, very girly! And no two are alike! She will be traveling to El Salvador with a mission group from church, and handing these dresses out in person.
I was so touched by her kindness, and her faith that God would provide for her to do this. I had to make a card for her! When I read the sentiment this morning, I knew it was for her!
Thanks for reading this...and have a blessed day!

Very pretty card! I love the way you used your color combo! The layering is nice too the way the verse is tucked under and the ribbon goes through the layers.
