Dearest Blog Readers~ How will you be spending
your New Year's Eve? Do you make resolutions?
We stay in and watch the ball drop on tv. I'm not
one to make resolutions, but I do choose a word and
a scripture verse for the year.
I will enter this card in the challenge at:
The stamp sets I used for this card is:
Stampin Up:
It's a celebration
Light the sky
Autumn Leaves clear stamps
hand drawn alphabet
I took the "round" about way to finally get to this card.
My goodness, it started off gold and silver, and then
white and gold, white and silver, but finally I decided
tuxedo black was the perfect choice. I even looked up
traditional New Year's Eve colors:
- Gold and silver: A classic combination that symbolizes wealth, success, and luxury.
- Yellow: A bright color that represents joy, happiness, and the energy of the sun. It's also believed to attract wealth and prosperity.
- Red: A color associated with luck, prosperity, and vitality. It's also said to bring love and abundance.
- White: An angelic color that represents purity, cleanliness, pure intentions, and new beginnings.
- Purple: An understated color that represents wisdom, royalty, collected energy, and power.
- Black: A color that represents elegance, formality, drama, and mystery.
- Green: A color that represents renewal, growth, and harmony.
- Chocolate brown: A color that represents the groundedness of the earth signs.
- Pink: A color that represents friendship, inner peace, and approachability
I embossed the fireworks in sparkle silver and now have glitter
everywhere. I'm sure I'll be finding it for days to come.
I kept the inside simple with just the year so that I have
room to write my message.
The little pup is a tiny bit better. Thanking the Lord for that.
It's been a rough week. Last night he made it through the night
without having to go outside with tummy troubles.
Tomorrow my husband starts his new job. Our nerves our
a little frazzled here still from him being let go so
unexpectedly without warning from both jobs, they
say it was the economy. But nevertheless it has been a
humbling experience for us both. 25 years with a company
gives a person no security. But God heard our prayers and
He prepared a new job for my husband and he starts tomorrow.
Please keep our family in your prayers. My health is fragile,
the dog for healing, and my husband's strength to learn his
new job and do it well. Thank you so much.
The verse I chose for this card is:
Rev. 21:5KJV
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
