So Blessed

Making cards is only half the fun, really.  The process of putting words, images and colors together is new every time I pull out my paper, and the adventure of seeing what the end product will be doesn't get old.  There's always a new technique to try and a different perspective to explore.  But this is only part of the fun, and really the least important part.

The more valuable part is when one of my creations leaves my hands and travels to someone else, either full of encouraging words or sold to raise money for a needy Indian child.  The real eternal value comes when a card is opened and Jesus comes spilling out, pouring love and joy and peace.

That's what I want from my cards.

I'm sending this one to a dear lady in our homeschool co-op who shines Jesus every week.  She's been such an encouragement to me.  I hope to give her back some of that encouragement when she opens this card.

This tutorial by Jennifer McGuire inspired my card, and the lovely sentiment is by Paper Smooches.

Let's all be an encouragement to someone else today!
