Happy Thursday!

I have alot to say today, so grab your cuppa and sit down for a minute 🙂

Wow, where to begin!   I think the most important thing we can do as human beings (Children of God, if you will), to support and lift up our fellow man/woman.    Even if you have not a penny to your name, you can share an kind word.    If you have two cents, you can give one.   Well, you get the idea.

I read about Dawn’s story on Splitcoaststampers after Cindy (Mothermark) posted this thread:

Dawn’s Story

I encourage you to follow the links and read Dawn’s story.    I am so touched by her plight, that I am pleading with you to do what YOU can.   Even if it is only sending a card of encouragement.

So, there were two challenges that I jumped on today.   One was the Ways To Use it Challenge (to use Bold and Bright colors) and Jessica’s (There She Goes) challenge to make a shaped card.    This is for you, Dawn.

I was a little skeered at making a shaped card.   I have enough trouble getting  a regular card right…hahaha.    But, with Jessica’s encouragement, I gave it a shot.    First I die cut the card base out of GP White with my largest Nesties pinked edge circle.   Then I die cut the next layer in the same size as the base so that there would be no ‘flat edge’ where it hidges.
