Friend Card - CQC #49

Today started out as a fairly uneventful day. Went to the office and spent some time on the computer, which seems to take up A LOT of time. We are in need of a new computer as it...is.....SO.....SLOW! It's about to drive me crazy. Funny how i become adapted to what's been given to me, the whole instant gratification thing, and when it is taken away, i am the most impatient person. i think i need to grow up a bit. Yikes!!

Then i needed to get ready to go have lunch with my kindergartner. He's really had a really difficult time adjusting to school. i think he is so overwhelmed with the size of everything (which, to his benefit, is a small school) plus the fact that he knows NO ONE in his class. One would think in a town the size of 230 he would know someone, but that's not the case. i went to lunch, and a whole new light was shed as to why he's having difficulties. (That's a whole other story.) Needless to say, we will be on our knees praying that Jesus will help him through. Being the "mother hen", i just wanted to rescue him, but i'm not sure that's the answer.

i came home very sad in my heart and spend some time alone with the Lord, and do you know what i read? Philippians 4:19...

"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ
Jesus."

i'm so glad i read that, because now i have peace about the whole thing. i think it is amazingly cool how when we focus on how great our God is, our problems just seem to diminish. He's bigger than this, and He will give us the power to overcome this difficulty.

So, on to the card i made today...

After the whole school thing, i made it into the stamp room to create. It was a hard day to create, but i managed to get one done anyway. i chose ColourQ as the choice for my color scheme, and just went with it. This is usually not my style of stamping, but it seemed to flow once i got into the groove.

The colors are Whisper White, Soft Suede, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, and Marina Mist. i embossed the sentiment in white so it would stand out on the darker CS. Right now, i am SO loving the 3-dimensional look of things. The butterflies and the flowers add the dimension to this card. i can't remember where i saw the idea to layer the butterflies, but i love it.

Thanks for looking.

TTFN,
