DT Project for The Squirrel and The Fox - Challenge 71 - Use Something Metal
Hi all of blogland! I hope you are doing well and enjoying the spring weather; for those in US. I heard it is snowing in Africa; but I hope you can still get time to enjoy yourselves; maybe just indoors.
Please continue to pray for my brother in law Darrell. He started high dose chemo on June 6th; which he had for 3 days. Then, his stem cell transplant was on June 11th. It really is hard on a person's body to go through this; and this is his second time; with just 10 days between rounds. Also; please pray for my sister Becky; as this is very difficult for her. She is at his bedside all the time; and trying to work on her computer to get her 40 hrs. a week in for her job. Thanks so much for your prayers in the past. You are all appreciated so much.
It is time for another fabulous challenge at The Squirrel and The Fox - Challenge 71 - Use Something Metal. Our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles. They have some fabulous Digi stamps; and I own several of them. I hope you enjoy my creation using Delicious Doodles "Blossom". Isn't she gorgeous! Check out the inside. I thought that sentiment went really well; with the title of the Digi. LOL!

I am entering this card in the Path Of Positivity Challenge - Happiness. This image makes me smile. I believe taking time to smell the flowers and watching a butterfly, is a sheer sign of happiness. I love watching butterflies; and I create a lot of cards using them. They make me happy just adding them to my cards. I hope the person receiving one of my cards will feel "Happiness" when they see them. Spending time to create someone a card brings me happiness. Just the act of giving to another person; normally brings "Happiness" to the person giving as well as the person receiving. One of the things I have always been told; is that if you feel down; do something for another person; and that will uplift you. It certainly does for me.

Hello Gloria,
ReplyDeleteFirst off, please know that I've said a small prayer to help bring comfort to your family members. Such a difficult thing to go through!
As far as your card goes, it is simply beautiful. All those die cut butterflies are gorgeous. Taking notice of the beauty around us and the small things in life are definitely happiness bringers. It is nice that you've discovered that. Not everyone does.
Thank you so much for joining us for Challenge #15 over on the Path of Positivity. Your continued support means the world to me. Good luck in the draw!
May you always experience true happiness throughout your life.
Hugs,
Lisa

I am continuing to say prayers for your brother in law and sister, I know how difficult this time can be. As for your card, you have outdone yourself once again Gloria...this card is breathtaking. Love all of the wonderful attention to details and yes, the butterflies did make me smile. I love them too :D Fabulous colouring on that beautiful image too. Have already voted for you :D
