Stampin'Up! CROSSES of HOPE Stamp Set

Well as you can see, I've been gone all weekend .... again! I don't know about you but I spent a lot of time reflecting this weekend and remember those we lost on September 11, 2001. It's hard to believe that 10 years later the war continues and we are still having to deal with loss of life as a result of that dreadful day. On my recent trip to the Carolinas, I got to see for the first time the flag quilt my sister, Sue, made to hang in her new stamping shack. What a reminder of the freedom we enjoy for those who enter.

Last night the Care Team at the church I am attending met. Here is a card I designed to send to those members who are in need of encouragement for whatever reason. You may notice I used retired designer series paper, Elegant Soiree. But what better way to use products that I can no longer demonstrate. The stamp set I used is Crosses of Hope ( 120567 - clear / 117136 - wood ). I hope you'll take time for some reflection today. God Bless You and God Bless the USA. Thank you for joining me today!

It's not about stamping today; it's about quilting....

My sister, Sue, made this quilt for me and gave it to me last week while I was in Charlotte. She knows all too well how much I love and appreciate handmade gifts. Gotta love this Texas Star Quilt!


I did not notice until I got the quilt out to display but look at the note she put on the inside. It nearly brought tears to my eyes. I'm so thankful to share such a special bond with my her! Thank you Sue! and I love you too!




Until next time, stay safe and take time to be creative!
