God struck this silly gal upside of the head this morning. Thank you, Lord, I needed that. I think I don't have time to make a card for an adorable little boy who is going through so much in his life. So what if I am busy, so what if I have other deadlines, so what if I don't make a perfect card, it really doesn't matter. This little guy is fighting for his life and I think I have problems. Anyhoo, this is not a perfect card and God told me that James does not care, it just might put a smile on that little face.

Bless you for making James a card!! I know he will get a kick out of this ghost pirate - one that has returned from the depths of the sea to haunt us - (insert an evil laugh here - whoo hahahahahaha)
I remember this image from another card you made and I think it is perfect to make James whip out his sword and put up a fight with the ghosts in his life - how sweet of you to put aside your impending chores and get this done for him first. You have such a huge heart! Hugs, Sis! You always find a way to bless people!

Oh,..one more thing....I totally agree, have always felt, its not about that the card fits the challenge perfectly, its not about that the card is the best one on the face of SCS, its not about perfect layouts, perfect embellishments perfect coloring......
its about sticking a stamp on it, some kind words written inside and off to the mailbox!

This could not be a more perfect card! I love the ghost pirate and how could we not think they like to celebrate fun fall festivities??
Amazing how He smacks us just when we need it most. Got one of those myself this week!
