C4C431: I ♥ Puppies, sketches, and faith!

Good Morning, friends!

We're having internet connection issues here at home

so I'm bouncing by more like in the afternoon!

*Crossing my fingers Comcast has it fixed now* 

Today starts a new challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges and it's a fun sketch challenge.

The sketch looked like a perfect one to use as a base for a CAS card

to use as a foundation for my Crafters of Faith card, too.

Tracie is the hostess for the Crafters of Faith for April

and gave us this scripture/challenge theme:

 For my challenge I decided to use the Scripture "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart" which is from Psalms 37:4.  I love hearts so I asked everyone to have a heart somewhere on their card.

Based on her challenge and the wonderful C4C sketch, I came up with my card.

I knew I wanted to use "You Have my Heart" from My Favorite Things,

a stamp/die set I was very lucky to scoop up at their huge retirement sale.

Truthfully, anything with puppies has my heart ♥

This funny thing happens whenever I see a puppy stamp set,

it magically falls into my shopping cart!  

And here's the inside of my card:

If you'd like to play along with the Crazy 4 Challenges,

you can find the blog in the link and here's a peek at the sketch ↓

The fun thing about challenges is they can often springboard your creativity!

Maybe you are stuck in a rut or can't quite come up with putting together

a card idea and make the card come together.

Sketches are a great baseline to do just that!

Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
