Warm Wishes

Hello friends!  Is anyone else tired of the snow, ice, and freezing temperatures?  Here's a little card full of warm wishes made for Ally's Sketch Challenge this week over at Splitcoaststampers:

Creative Nugget:  KaiserCraft patterned paper, Baja Breeze, and Poppy Red card stock form the layers for the sketch with a Poppy Red Scalloped Border stitched down the middle.  Mmmmmmm…hot chocolate looks pretty good right now, don't you think!  This darling cup of cocoa is from the new Winnie's Warm Wishes stamp set released this month by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  It's colored with Copic Markers to match the DP.  Some metallic thread and heart crystals were added to finish the card.

Here are the products from the SNSS Store used to make this card:

A little hot chocolate to warm the heart and now a little inspiration to feed the soul...

Inspirational Nugget: Our golden, Kody, has absolutely no fear of my hubby and I.   We can be reading in bed or sitting on the couch and up he jumps and plops his head right on our laps.  Yes…he is a bit spoiled and we do allow him on only these two pieces of furniture.  He comes to us boldly and confidently, knowing that he has nothing to fear from us.  I was thinking of this while reading during my devotion time the other day.

"Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it]."

Love this verse in the Amplified Bible.  How wonderful to know that no matter where we are in our walk with the Lord, we can come boldly to Him with our needs, and He gives us just what we need at just the right time!  Now that's something you can carry with you in your heart for a time when you need it!

I hope you've been inspired by your visit…thanks for stopping by!
Have a warm and wonderful day!

Hugs,
