I have so many things I should be doing today, but on this dreary and rainy day who could resist playing in today's inspiration challenge. LOL!! God must definitely be telling me that I should not be doing this, however, since one upload has taken 1 1/2 hours. Grrrrr!
Anywho...since I have limited time and I did not get to play in yesterday's Pay it Forward: F4A203 nor the QFTD198 Honoring Sister Sandie..., I decided to combine these all together.
One of my goals this year is to encourage others and what better way to encourage others than through the Queen for the Day or yesterday's Free for all challenge to send a card to encourage someone.
I chose this Porcelain Flower candle on the Global candle site as my inspiration. I used 4 ivory flowers and an ivory color as my focal point. Thanks for the inspiration Audrie!!
Sandie, congrats on being queen!!! You are so deserving!! You are such a sweetheart and so encouraging and your clean and elegant style is one I greatly admire!! Your gallery is gorgeous!! I chose this "Gold and Green" card to inspire my creation or layout for today.
This card will be sent to a precious friend who shares this verse as her favorite. She is a beautiful woman, inside and out, and always puts others before herself and is such a treasure to me. I hope she finds this card an encouragement!!
Thanks for Looking!!

I hope your friend finds a prominent place to put this beautiful card you made for her so she can look at it and be reminded of where to place her trust.

Oh, Chris! This is absolutely gorgeous, and I know we both share this very precious Scripture verse! I love the richness of the cream with the wonderful gold embossed edges and rich texture with the lovely floral array so wonderfully surrounding this beautiful focal image verse! How great that this fits three challenges and honors this week's Queen Sandie, who really is just the sweetest! Into my faves! Warm hugs, my precious friend!
