May Your Love Increase, a sale, and an update

Happy Sunday all!! I am sorry for my lack of posting for the past few days. Life has been so busy. Currently my dear hubby is still laid off so we are focusing on finding him a job and looking into other ways to get finances to pay our bills. As my dear hubby says "We are not worried....just concerned. We know God will provide a job in His time." We just need to continue to trust in Him. This is where my favorite verse applies once again. Trust in the Lord with all your Heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5,6. It is in times like these that you realize nothing is guaranteed and that you need to focus on Him and what is most important thing.

I have an Anniversary card to share with you. I used all white with a very simplistic layout for the elegant look she achieved but used the Spellbinders Butterfly Magic die for the background instead of the embossing and used the Our Daily Bread Designs Antique Labels Design Stamp and Antique Labels Die as well as the All Occasion Sentiments.
