Flowers and bling

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV

This is a card made using a Hobby House kit. I bought this last year and have recently used the last three toppers. I still have plenty of bling, ribbon and backing card left from the kit and can thoroughly recommend The Hobby House for value.

The topper features a Mo Manning image and apart from the card base, everything you see came in the kit. I have edged the card with Tim Holtz Barn Door distress ink.

Just a wee thank you

I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.

Daniel 2:23

This is a lovely Wee Stamps image. The card is made with a Hobby House card kit, the only part that was not in the kit is the little heart-shaped button. This will be an ideal thank you card for Granny after one of my son’s birthday.

Wee boy

Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

Philippians 2:14-16 NKJV

Today’s card ismade with a Wee stmpsimage and NitWits backing card with the corners punched. Sometimes we need cards that are definitely not for girls!
