SSC Challenge #28

Here's a card I made for my mom's 81st birthday! She is such a gift to me and has always been a special part of my life. Happy Birthday Mom!!! We love you!!

This card is also for the SSC Challenge--make a card/project with a thankful heart and do it as if you are making it for God. I am so thankful and feel so blessed that God has given me the time, resources, imagination and creativity to do the craft I love. I also feel very blessed when I can use this craft to bring love, joy, and even encouragement into the lives of others.

Here's my card...

Birthday Cards

Just a quick post to show you two birthday cards I made for my niece Katie who turns 30 this week and the other for my friend Enid who just turned 65 and is retiring after 40 years of work. The stamp is called Labour of Love by Penny Black. I love this stamp--it can be used for so many different occasions. I coloured the images with alcohol markers and chose to use plain card stock from Bazzil papers for a clean look.

Thanks for stopping by--Have a relaxing day!!

Blessings,

Sarah
