Creative Nugget: If you've been visiting my blog for a while, my first favorite should not come as a big surprise. I cannot resist this adorable puppy from the Christmas Puppy clear stamp set. The detail on this image is perfect for any coloring medium, but I especially love coloring it with my Copics. No matter how much I try, I cannot help but make this pup golden! LOL!

I chose this last favorite stamp set before the devastating effect Hurricane Sandy had on the east coast, especially the beaches of New Jersey, New York, and Maryland. Many people living in these areas have lost everything, and my heart goes out to them. Please remember them and all those still without power in your prayers.
Creative Nugget: I'm so thankful that even in the midst of devastation, the Lord holds us in His hands. Beauty By the Sea is a wonderful stamp set with six shell images, six sentiments, and two Bible verses. Korin's Sketch Challenge from yesterday at Splitcoaststampers was the perfect inspiration needed to begin this card. The smaller shell images were embossed in white down the Groovy Guava strip, and the larger shells were colored with Copic Markers. Cheesecloth (thank you, Monika), Glossy Accents, and Stickles were used for added dimension to finish the card.
