Psalm 138:3 - You encourage me…

This is the card that has been all around America this summer. I made this card the morning before I left for CHA, thinking I would post while I was gone. (Hmm, there is never enough time for sleep on those trips, so why I thought I would blog all week was beyond me.) I did, however, get Beate to take a picture of it for me off the balcony of our condo, then I politely packed it back up and brought it home. Last weekend, I carried it on a mini-vacation to Branson thinking again that I would post while I was gone. With computer woes and roller coasters abound…I still didn’t post. Finally, I’ve unpacked all my summer bags (mostly) and caught up on my long ole to-do list and here is my card for Taylor’s Sketch 76.
I used the anniversary Scripture Collection from Our Daily Bread Designs to make quick work of this card. I needed a sympathy card, and that set is perfect for those. Kelley Holland, the Our Daily Bread Designs owner was the first person I saw at CHA - walking down the corridor. We hugged quickly, said hey! and didn’t take a picture because we agreed our paths would cross again that week. Sadly, it didn’t happen. I appreciate Kelley for the effort and energy that she puts into beautiful Scripture sentiment stamps every single month. She fills a definitely needed niche in the stamp world! Thank you, Kelley!
We’re off to a swim team fundraiser this morning. Should be a good time, and hopefully, profitable. 
Enjoy your Saturday!

Love this card. It really pops! And of course I am especially fond of the scripture!

but just think of the encouragment you received every time you saw that beautiful verse. God was speaking to you each and every time! so it was meant to stay with you for a while, for whatever reason…….
it is truly beautiful! thank you for sharing it with all of us!

Such a beautiful truth Lori. And I love that it travelled with you
I have to say that after you told me about covering your ripening cherry trees I panicked! We were on vacation when I read that and I thought, “oh no! I’m going to come home to all my cherries gone!” But…whew! still here! I’ll be picking them tomorrow
