Happy Tuesday all!! I am so sorry for taking so long to post any of my creations. This week has been both a joyful and stressful week. Just this past Monday, my dear hubby found out he was laid off from his job. After just moving here 8 months ago, it is very frightening. Since I don't have a job either, it really adds to the stress. Thankfully we know that is in control!!! He knows our needs and we can go to Him in prayer. I know He will provide if we Wait on Him. With this news, this meant that we not only had to prepare for the Holiday Tour at Our House on Sunday but also to begin putting applications out.
The tour was fun and a real success!! I hope to share photos of a few of our decorations in our new home tomorrow or Thursday.
Today I would like to share a card that I made for the Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs which is to use the letters from the word NOEL.
For my creation I used: N- Navy and Nestabilities, O-Oval, E-Embossing, L- Layers
The image is stamped in craft or pigment ink and then embossed with Kaleidoscope embossing powder.
Thanks for stopping by!! I treasure all my viewers/blogging friends and their comments.
Have a blessed Day!!!

Your card is beautiful as always Chris.
I'm so sorry about your husband being laid off, but I know He is watching over you. I always liked the saying "when the Lord closes a door, he opens a window" or something like that, I never can remember the exact words, but it's a wonderful sentiment.
Last year and the year before when my husband was laid off, we found out that our son and family needed emergency baby sitters just as he was laid off, so at least he didn't have to miss any work when we went out to help them, and we got to spend time with the grandchildren.
Wow Chris!! What a gorgeous/elegant way to display the manger scene!! I so love that frame....your card is tops!!
Hugs
Hi Chris, Hopefully things will even out for you pretty soon, your card is adorable with that wonderful frame its stunning ......take care x
Gorgeous card Chris! I love the glittery embossing and the dark blue is so striking!
You know we're praying for you my friend! It was this time last year we were in the same position, and God had even better things in store for us... and I know He does for you as well! Stay strong and prayed up!!!
luv ya,
Grace
What a classic and classy card Chris. This is very beautiful. I hope that good things happen for you very soon. Nicola x
Wow Mom!! I love the spellbinders frame, colors, image, and sewing with the pretty bow!!Love you!!
