C.O.F. ~ Praise the Lord!

Hi there!  I have missed you!!  Aside this being summer, we've had 3 trips in a row including this last one where dh and I snuck away for a few days for our FIRST alone trip in 17 years :)  I missed my babies but was so blessed to have the time with my honey who single-handedly did an amazing job recreating our Hawaiian honeymoon!  Right down to the resort, to the luau, romantic dinners - We had a blessed 4 days away :)

And it's the last day of July which means that the Crafters of Faith (C.O.F.) blogging group have our card blog hop!  This is a group so near and dear to my heart.  I was inspired spiritually to create a group on SCS that joined together ladies of faith and that had a love of crafting and have been so blessed that so many lovely ladies have answered 'the call!'  Sadly a few ladies have stepped down from the group en masse in the last month which, I confess, shattered my happiness for a bit but one of God's gifts to us is the answer to our needs in His time.  I have full faith in that timing! Even if I am the last one standing, I will keep the COF doors open and will continue fellow-shipping, crafting and friend-shipping! :) 


I did find myself scrambling this month to come up with a theme on short notice and just on a whim decided why not send a card kit!  Voila!  An idea was born and I whipped up some card kits to send to the gals - with the fun twist of everyone getting a different color of the same papers! I had my unopened Butterfly Nora stamp and inked it up to go along with the papers, tossed in some embellishments and asked them to think of this scripture of the month when creating ....... "Praise the Lord for He is good, His love endureth forever." Psalm 118:1

I added the kits to each gals envelope without even looking so I will have to complete the hop to see what I sent out to whom, LOL!  And when the last one was left, it was blue so here is my very blue card today :)  I used 3 of the DSP sheets, a ribbon to give it a pop of color and kept this one pretty simple due to time constraints.  I added a small bit of glitter to her wings and colored Nora with my prismacolor markers.  


If you have a moment, here is the line up of the COF Sisters who have created a yummy card with this kit, too!
