"Save the earth..." tile

Earth Day is later this month and some challenges are using that as the prompt.  Before I show my project, I have something to say.  I truly believe we do need to take care of the wonderful creation that God has intrusted to us.  Just a little op ed here.  And since it's my blog, I can do it! :)

It just breaks my heart how this is all out of focus.  Thousands of unborn babies are killed every day, animal abuse gains more attention than child/spousal abuse, and killing an endangered species sometimes carries a greater penalty than murder.  Our priorities are messed up!!    
I believe in the sanctity of life!!  God knew me before He formed me in the belly. (Jer. 1:5)  I believe we are responsible to take care of the earth!!  We are to "dress it and keep it" (Gen. 2:15) and "a righteous man regardeth the life of his beast" (Prov. 12"10) so we must care for our world!  

With that said, yes, we do need to care for our earth, but I went in a fun direction about it....

"Love at first sight!" valentine

My last valentine for this year!  When our oldest daughter was born, it truly was love at first sight!    This idea came to mind when I saw the Fantabulous Cricut challenge from this week... "Share the Love"!    They are having a blog crawl.  Go check it out!  The creations are awesome and some are offering blog candy if you are interested in that. 

What I did:

• Welded heart from Lyrical Letters to rectangle for the card -Cloud 9 paper
• cut just the heart in contrast - boysenberry linen textured CS from J's
• mother and baby from A Child's Year shadowed -I think it is really a girl and her doll, but it worked! :D
• LOVE from Jubilee welded
• white gel pen for trim and "It was...at first sight"
• the inside says... "and we've loved you ever since!!"

Happy Valentine's Day to you!
