Card #107 for 2025

Dear Blog readers, thank you for all the kind messages 

regarding my surgery tomorrow.   I'm very nervous after what happened

in the first one.  But I just keep telling myself to trust GOD.  

SO to keep myself busy I made a couple cards for a few challenges. 

This one I will enter in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamps I used are:

Stampin Up:

CTMH: Winter wonderland

Stampin UP: Everything festive

Santa's Sleigh

I love all things plaid for Christmas especially.  

But as I mentioned in my earlier post, I would 

love a library wall papered with plaid.  Just something cozy

about that.   

I stamped the images and then die cut them out.  I used the 

snowflake and ribbon as the leaves in the challenge image. 

The Merry Christmas is a piece of washi tape that I hope sticks

to the white paper I put it on.  Sometimes washi tape curls.  I should

have added glue to the back of it.  I love that classic font of  it though. 

The inside is a bit weak in color, but black was too bold so I used a gray. 

Patriot pup was enjoying the snow fall.  I put a video 

of him on my instagram page.  He's a little nut trying to 

catch every falling snowflake.  

The verse I chose for this card has a quick "back" story:

as I was doing my devotions today, I was getting rather sad thinking

we need to be thankful no matter our infirmities, and still be trusting God no 

matter what.  Then I came across Neh. 9:31 and found a message

 I wrote back in2013 when I had my back surgery.. So I added 

tomorrow's date in my newer  Bible for my intestine surgery.. 

It was the hope I needed that GOD willing it will all be hooked up and work as it should. 

Nehemiah 9:31 KJV

Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, 

nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.

📖

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping

UPDATE:

On Nov. 19th, I will be going in for surgery.  I humbly ask that you would 

pray for a safe and successful surgery with no complications or injuries this time

and that when they reconnect my intestines it will all work as it should.  

Thank you kindly.💗  

Here is a link to a few of the other updates along the way.
