Card #1 for 2025

Dearest Blog Readers, Happy New Year. 

I can't believe that last year I only made 61 cards.  Of 

course there were a few card projects with multiple cards,

and a few tags for Christmas, but what a bummer to think

that's all the cards I made.  It had been a rough year losing

our beloved dog, and then my husband's jobs here in Dec. 

But I am hopeful and prayerful this year will be better.  

So I'm starting off with a card of gratitude for life.

We are here living and that is a lot to be grateful for.

 

I will enter this card in the

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set I used for this card is, Stampin up:

Simply Zinnia 

I was going to do a Christmas card, because I'm 

always running short.  SO hopefully this year I will be 

making many more Christmas cards to be prepared.  

Any ways, I ended up with a flower.  Not my usual go

to for card making but I gave it a shot.  ya know the 

leaves there just didn't look right to me tucked under the 

bloom, so I used them as a stem instead. The color I chose for the

flower is razzleberry and it matched the DSP pretty well 

I added glitter to the center but my glitter pen is running low, 

so it's hard to tell unless you hold the card just right.  wink. 

Patriot Pup turned 6 months old today.  He's a handful

and we are exhausted trying to train him.  He's a bit 

naughty and sometimes aggressive, but we aren't 

giving up.  He's part of the family. 

He has those puppy dog eyes, that make you think

aww, sweet little pup, but turn your back and the little

goat is on the furniture, table, counter, or nabbing 

socks from the laundry basket then a fun game of 

tag around the table to fetch the sock.. Who is 

training who here?   He is a rascal.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Psalm 100:4KJV

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: 

be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
