2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I made this for my friend I met on-line several years ago. Her 18 yr old son was diagnosed last month, Dec 2014, with bone cancer. He has started his 6 month chemo treatments. I made him a card but I also wanted to make her a card to encourage her as she goes through this battle with him. When praying and asking God what she needed to hear he advised me to send this verse. So I paired it with a stitched cross from Deedee’s Digis. The design inspiration for this card came from the Deconstructed Sketch # 183.

CHALLENGES:

1) Suzy Bee’s Bloomin’ Challenge #65 – Stitching – faux or real. I went with the stitching in the design of the cross.

2) Feb Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com – Bonus – Stitching

SUPPLIES:

Digital Image: Stitchy Crosses @ Deedee’s Digis

Cardstock: Bazzill

Inks: pre-colored digital image printed on Canon Inkjet Printer

Sew Thankful

So I changed jobs at work and my new position requires me to wear a uniform. I haven’t worn a uniform in 8 years so had to buy all new ones. Well, I got them just 2 days before having to wear them and they didn’t fit. So I called the Tailor shop up the street from my house. As soon as I told her my issues and that I would need it done in one day she said No problem come on in. She was an angel sent from God above and saved the day! I plan on getting a gift card to a local restaurant to thank her for work extra to squeeze me in and getting my uniforms done in one day. Diane’s Daydream Designs set – Life is Sew Sweet – sewing notions is perfect for this.

I cut out the drawn thread and used real floss as thread. I printed out an extra set of buttons to cut them out and pop dot them on the card. I used a past Tuesday Morning Sketch #273 as my inspiration.
