Cancer is so limited...

I've got a pretty card to share today, but I wish I never had to make this kind... it's for a friend battling cancer.  This is actually the third card like this that I have made and sent recently. :(
But I really love the truth of the verse on it! 

In case you can't read it in the pic...

Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple Love.
It cannot shatter Hope.
It cannot corrode Faith.
It cannot eat away Peace.
It cannot destroy Confidence.
It cannot kill Friendship.
It cannot shut out Memories.
It cannot silence Courage.
It cannot reduce Eternal Life.
It cannot Quench the Spirit.


Supplies...
My Time Made Easy "Be Supportive" sentiment (I LOVE this set! Click the name to see it.)
Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles
Memento Potter's Clay ink
Crate Paper "Farmhouse" DP
AC ribbon


Challenges...
Polkadoodles #31 - anything goes

A purr-fect friend

It's Friday!!  Yay!  Actually, do you ever wonder why we wish our lives away by always wanting the weekend to arrive or our vacation to come or Christmas or birthday or whatever it is that we look forward to?   I do that often, then I realize that "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."  I will be thankful for my today that the Lord has given me!

I've got a cute kitty card for you.  I love cats and we have 3 of them, but one of them is being a real pain!  However, this kitty will cause me no trouble at all!!

My DP is from the last few pages of a MME "All Dolled Up" 6x6 pack.  The edges are inked with TH tea dye distress ink.  The flowers are Recollections and the ribbon is from my remnant box.  My image and sentiment come from Kitty Bouquet COLOR Plus from Doodle Pantry.

Challenges...
Chocolate, Coffee, & Cards #98 - use a sentiment
Really Reasonable Ribbon  #124 - autumn colors + ribbon or trim
Sister Act #120 - anything goes *so sad this is the last challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and have a purr-fect day!!

I just love my card that I have to show you now!  I love it because I love the image I got to play with!  A sock monkey!!!  Sock monkeys are just about the cutest thing ever!!  Do you like sock monkeys or do you think they are creepy?   How could this little face scare you?!?  They are adorable!!

So here's the card...

The button and twine match everything much better IRL!!  Cameras! :P

My image, sentiment, and digi paper are all from the new set Funky Sock Monkey from Doodle Pantry.  Laurie made an outline and colored monkey in several poses plus extra heads and accessories that you can mix and match.  So cute!!!!

Tulips just for you

Here's a card for a friend who are going through a rough time right now.  I pray this is a blessing to her and that it cheers her to know someone is thinking of her and praying for her.
