Card #1 for 2026

Dear Blog readers, 

Happy New Year!! 

 May God bless 2026 with healing and good heath to each of us. 

 I didn't quite feel well enough to start

making cards so soon, but I needed to make one for my dad.

Bless his lovely heart.   

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set I used is:

Stampin up:  Blessed Beginnings 

I took a picture of underneath the stamped church

so I would make sure the church fit.  Well it didn't, 

and yet I still decided to work with it.    I had a heck

of a time trying to cut and die cut the tiny pieces today.

However I like that the door and trees have a little texture 

to them.  I added wink of stella to the windows and so 

they sparkle so sweetly.  Like they are glowing. 

I found this lovely sentiment below and thought I'd 

share.  I've been reflecting on growing up since

I've been ill for the past 6 plus months.  I think I've been

humbled by this experience as God is teaching me

about love and forgiveness and letting go of bitterness,

I've come to a place of surrender. it's all I could do and I believe 

that's exactly what He wanted me to learn.  So much more

to learn and I'm thankful for the opportunity to do it.  

Patriot pup is sharing verses on instagram reels.  

I just feel the need to do that more often. More

for myself perhaps than anything.  Keeping my 

eyes on Jesus (Heb. 12:2)

The verse I chose for this card is:

Hebrews 10:25NKJV

 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, 

but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
