Be Still

Happy Monday Friends!! I hope all is well with you all!! Winter is definitely here in VA. It is 19 degrees this morning!!! Just a tad bit chillier than what we have seen here thus far.

Today I would like to share a card I made to encourage a friend. I seldom make double pocket cards but I felt adding bookmarks and encouraging verses may be appreciated so I made a diagonal fold card.

I used Our Daily Bread Designs Daisy Background stamped in Apricot Appeal, Bookmark Trees , Bookmark Verses , Bookmark- Eagle , Fellowship Sentiments , Antique Labels Design . The dies used are custom made Spellbinders dies from ODBD and include Antique Labels and Border die and Bookmark dies

I wanted to make a thinking of you or encouragement card for a friend so I used bright colors.

I hope this creation, has somehow inspired you.

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great day!!

hugs and blessings,
