Happy Sunday Everyone!!  Well I hope all are doing well.  Unfortunately I only have a moment since one of my dear daughters is pretty sick right now....when they are like that, all they want is some TLC and mommy time.  I hope she gets better soon.  The poor girl has a pretty high fever right now and is completely tuckered out and coughing...My poor Nicki....I am exhausted to after being up the entire night.  A nap will be needed at some point today.

Well today is a new challenge over at Stampin Sisters in Christ...this week's challenge is hosted by the dear and talented Patti!!!

Patti chose the verse:
Hebrews 13:5 NIV "Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you."

It is funny...when I read this verse I thought of one of my dear daughters.  Just today, I was talking with one of my daughters who was worrying. I was trying to explain to her that we need not worry  because God is in control.  He knows how many hairs we have in our head...he watches the sparrows....how much more valuable to him are we than they...He promises us He will be there for us and he will provide. Does that mean life will be rosy and easy...No...but we need to trust.  Be thankful for all God has given!  His love greater than all the Love you could ever receive!! Remember, He died for you!!

Patti chose the challenge:
Since it is Valentine's Week, let's make a KISS Card (Keep it simple, Sisters!) - One layer card.

Now Keep it simple...is not usually in my vocabulary...as a dear friend once said...Clean and simple should never be used in the same sentence.

This image is from Lily of the Valley and it was sent from my dear friend Wendy. (Thanks Wendy!  I just love it!!  I am hooked on these adorable images!!!)  I colored it in with copics.  The heart shape is dye cut with the Spellbinders Labels 15.  The ribbon is May Arts Pink silk which I tied into a bow with my Bow Easy.  The clouds are sponged with baja breeze ink and a scalloped punch.

The second card uses a Whimsy digi image that I felt was perfect for Valentine's or showing someone you care.  I It is called I love You This Much...As you can see...the card is not at all K.I.S.S.   (Keep It simple or one layer...LoL!  The papers are a combo of dp from K&Co. Valentine papers.  The middle heart is dry embossed although it is hard to see in the photo.  The flower on the bottom is a felt flower with a flower button in the center.
