I've been in the garden getting things ready for Sandy, so I missed Tuesday all together! My knees are all dirty, cause I've been planting flowers and praying this week too. And my card is missing buttons...yikes! I was so focused on the "round thing" I totally got lost. (that ever happen to you?) At any rate, this "Dodge Ball" card is loaded with prayer to help Sandy dodge fear, doubt and discouragement. I hope this beautiful scripture from ODBD fills Sandy with hope. Please read more about Sandy here.
I have been wanting to make a shaped easel card forever, and was inspired by Nancy's (nwilliams6) work, and the card I got from her today. It was so easy to work out Beate's Tutorial once I had Nancy's card in my hands. I used fern stamps from Hero Arts, and these impressions were made with real ferns. There are a few little watercolors mini's tucked in too- in pink. The little fern punch is from SmARTworks.
Thanks for looking!

"I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses..." I KNOW the voice you hear and I know the heart that sends you to your knees for Sandy or anyone else laid on it. Then, that heart also pours out its inspiration thru those blessed hands. What beauty I'm sure you create in your garden (which I don't see!) and I know the beauty you create with those wonderful hands because here it is in all it's glory to bring to a soul comfort, hope, and encouragement. You have every lovely thing going on here to help dodge those doubts--the beauty of the Word and the beauty of your heart. LY, LYMI.
