SlimLine Christmas card #3

Hello Crafting friends.  

I'm excited to play along with another

slim line card at the 

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Decorated with Happiness,

Beary cute

I let the DSP do all the work here.

The background just seems perfect

for the polar bear family. 

I tried to keep things clean and simple,

this time around. I love how the hat 

and scarf pick up the blues in the card. 

The three snowflakes under the bears

worked perfect for the embellishments,

 I used this sketch

somewhat so to make a really fast

sketch card for my dad.  I 

posted it below. 

You see had my mom lived they would 

have celebrated 54 years of marriage on Dec. 6th.

Their tradition was always pizza, and my dad would

get a beer.  Well, dad can't drink much beer anymore

because of his health, but this year he got himself 

a can, and so I quick drew up this mug.  Not much

of a freehand artist, but I think he will see it's a 

mug of beer. 

I've been crocheting again.  I made these fun little 

coasters and plan on giving them to my kiddos, 

dad, and my grandma.  She's 100 years young and 

I think she will love the santa one.  If you could please

keep her in your prayers.  She tested positive for covid.  

I also wanted to share a picture of my son.  I'm not 

sure if I had mentioned this on my blog, but this past

August he was in a bad bike accident.  But praise 

the LORD for his protection and his healing.  Even

though he sustained quite a few injuries, non were 

life threatening.  Praise GOD.  He did have trauma 

to his whole head and face.  But again it is 

a complete miracle and nothing less that he is ok

and as you can see from this flier promo below

he's back at riding BMX  I covered up the location

of the event.  So proud of my son.  Following his dreams,

and working hard for them.  He works long 12 hour days,

and rides on the side so he's always on the move. 

Here's a picture of HP, he's been acting very

strange lately, I fear the worse, but hoping 

for the best. He goes off by himself like he's hiding. 

 He's usually always right next to us.

  Swallowing is becoming 

more and more of a challenge.  and 

someone is very spoiled now and only 

eats homemade dog food.

I don't want to end the post on a sad note,

but I feel it's a forgotten piece of history by so 

many in the younger generation.  So I do my 

best to make sure my kiddos and those I know

remember freedom isn't free.  God bless 

the soldiers and their families who gave all for our country.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

1 Kings 8:57

The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: 

let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
