There have been many trials at my house this year and last. First, flood in house downstairs, my broken shoulder and replacement, hubby's heart surgery. But, I believe you can always find some joy. A few joys I have are crafting, bird watching (see my bird), family (some coming today), watching Easter pageant tonight and especially since my hubby is singing in it (certainly joy there that he is able). So, there is good and joy to be found.
Lots of die cutting and coloring for this card but I do like it. I did some coloring on the brick embossing folder.

Beautiful project. Sorry you have so many trials this year. Glad you were able to find joy. I love watching the birds. This morning as I was making coffee I saw a little woodpecker outside. His little red head made me smile. Praying that you have a joyful weekend and that you enjoy hearing your husband singing. Blessings. Thanks for Playing along with my challenge.

Wow, Brenda, I am so sorry to read all that has happened to you this year! I love seeing your cards and this woody looking frame looks fabulous against the brick embossed panel! I love the sweet little bird perched there ~

Lovely, Brenda. I like the framing/window shape, the brick work, and that super pretty bird.
How fabulous your hubby was singing in the pageant. You have had a tough year, and it is good you can find happy moments and joy. Many hugz to you and your hubby.

Hope you enjoyed the Easter pageant and you are coming to the end of your stressful time. Love all the twigs you have given to the bird for nest building - sweet card
