Card for my prayer partner, Rachel- who gives me continuing encouragement every week- for the last eight years! We share the love of "brown" as well, our fav color! I added stitching to the edges on this card, because Rach, in addition to working as an RN FT, and homeschooling 7 children over the years- she also sews, (and sings and cooks... she is too much!)
The sentiment is from Close to my Heart, and was my favorite sentiment this year, because this verse speaks volumes at Christmas, and always!
Thanks for looking!

What can I say, Sister, you card is absolutely beautiful and speaks volumes of the thoughts in your heart! The DELISH DP, ribbon and embellishments surrounding that verse bring the Christmas message HOME to our hearts! LYMI, Sis!

The whole set of cards is beautiful, but this is my favourite. You are something else making cards for the family while they slept, the cards are so intricate you must have been up at 4am to get them all done. If we were neighbours we would have had a coffee together at 4am as that's about when I woke up realizing I hadn't finished hemming the napkins I had made for Christmas breakfast! Your cards are always so inspirational and bring us all such pleasure.
