Happy New Year! 2024
My first post of the New year. How very exciting.
I can't believe it's already the 5th. Yesterday
was one of those difficult days because it
was Jan 4th 2013 that I had spinal injections
that damaged my legs, then that following
February another injection, then in March
before spinal surgery they did one more.
I'm glad I survived it but knowing what I
do now, I'd never do that again. not ever.
I made this fun card today for the challenge at:
The stamp sets featured in this card are:
Stampin Up: Welcoming woods, Beary cute,
Adventure/travel
I let the DSP do the work for me here.
I love how 3D it looks, almost, like the mountains are
popping right off the card. For the little bear I
had to stamp him on my silicone pad and then onto
the paper to reverse him so he was climbing up the right
side of the mountain which I suppose is considered
the left side looking at it. But I wanted him to get
to the top of that sentiment as well. I love how it turned out.
I got a lovely Christmas gift from my daughter,
one more punch holder. Away with my daisy box
(I will use it for something else) and my little crates
have already found a new shelf space.
Doesn't it look so much better. I
can't believe all the punches I've
acquired. I supposed over 25 years
of stamping will do this to a gal.
But I will say my collection has grown
considerably since 2013.
The verse I chose for this card is:
Psalm 28:7KJV
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him,
and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him.
The other reason I picked this verse is because my
word for the year 2024 is "shield" and my verse this year
is: Proverbs 30:5KJV
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield
unto them that put their trust in him.
If you pick a word and verse for the year I'd love it if
you'd share in the comments.
