Card #40 for 2024

Hello Crafting friends. 
You know I say crafting because I think for 
the majority of people that are crafty, we 
dabble in all sorts of artsy things, not just cards. 
I made this card for my Grandma, bless her 
heart she will be 101 on June 12th.  She's an
amazing woman and quite the inspiration to me.  
My goal is to live to 102 and I do believe
my dear Grandma can do it.  I need to learn
her secrets to a long life.  With all that being
said it's not been an easy one.  Grandma
is a strong tiny little woman, she's had to 
bury 2 husbands, and 4 adult children, one
being my ma.  Grandma has one remaining daughter
and many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and
great great grandkids.  We love her dearly. 
Grandma and Grandpa had a huge garden,
and as a kid I had the privilege of spending nearly
everyday there because they lived behind us/or 
in front of us depending on which way you come from.
There was a well worn path between our homes,
I use to love to run through the gardens barefoot, we 
had sandy soil where I grew up, so it was like a beach.
Not a weed to be found, grandpa sold his raspberries, 
asparagus and rhubarb to people and the local grocery store. 
I will enter this card in the challenge at:
The stamp sets I used for this card are:
Stampin Up:  Sweet Strawberry, and deckled circle dies
Hand drawn Alphabet by Autumn Leaves clear stamps 
The card was just simple stamping.  I think Grandma will
like the bright red colors and be able to see it better.  I used
some dimensionals under the two berries to raise them up 
so you could see the third.  It was hard to decided if I wanted
a plain white background or this DSP, as you can see I chose 
the DSP, hoping Grandma would like that best.  

Below is my latest Etsy sale, it's always exciting for me
 to see a sale in the shop.  
The verse I chose for this card is:
Isaiah 46:4KJV
And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar(gray) hairs will I carry you: 
I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
