Some big changes are a-comin'!

Hello, friends! I know some of you started reading my blog quite a long time ago - back when I was posting a few times a week - and wanted to let you know about some changes happening in my life recently....

I have made the decision to step down from all design teams I've belonged to and return to the ranks of private citizen and blogger. Bill and I decided a while back that we would like to adopt a child (rather three total, by the time we're done). I've started a new blog, Growing by Heart, to share our adoption story for anyone who is interested. I'll still be posting my crafty stuff here, though, although on a much less frequent basis.  =D

If any of you have been through adoption, or know someone who is/was, I'd love it if you directed them to my adoption blog. We are at the very beginning of the process, and would welcome any input from those who have "been there, done that".

Until later...blessings!

 

It's a Verve Anniversary Hop!

Welcome to Verve's Anniversary Blog Hop - Verve is turning THREE today! If you'd like to see all the participating blogs, just start at the beginning over at the Verve blog. Make sure you leave comments all along the way to enter for a fantastic prize!

Okay, on to the card I'm sharing! This card features one of my favorite Plain Jane Scripture verses - and Verve has lots of them! I used an emboss resist technique with the background, but used an iridescent embossing powder instead of plain clear ep. I think it makes an interesting effect that you wouldn't expect. The rhinestones help to emphasize the sparkle.  =D


Now it's time for you to hop on over to Edna's blog to see what she's showing off - have fun!
