One of my most favorite challenges is with my buddy Nancy (nwilliams6). We take turns issuing the challenge, and this month Nancy had the most wonderful idea! We were to take a nice bubble bath, clear our heads and 'listen' to God. Not thinking about cards (that is the real challenge) we were to do a card based on whatever inspired us. How beautiful an idea! I love Nancy's mind, and her heart!
I had this lovely scripture from another sweet friend Michelle (Shellapoo) and was touched to think that God could actually rejoice over us! I wanted Nancy to feel that too.
Please see the sweet card Nancy made for me here. I love all of her beautiful cut work, and am especially touched by the words. Please see Nancy's gallery for more inspiration.
Thanks for looking! And Nancy, I am wracking my brain to think of the next one! How can I top the challenge you issued?! LYMI

What a beautiful creation (it's much more than a card)! So pretty - love the flowers and leaves - they make for a great easel card. Love the wonderful challenge idea - might have to go run a bath myself and clear my head!!!

Pat, this is absolutely fabulous! I love the colors and flowers and swirls, but best of all, the scripture! That is a verse that my friend encouraged me with about two weeks ago. Isn't it fantastic to know our God delights in us!
