Headed Away for a Visit

The top two cards you have already seen -- the bottom two complete the order that I received from my friend at church.

I will be flying out tomorrow for a visit with my daughter and grandkids in the Houston area. Will be gone for two weeks and will most likely not be posting or checking in on your blogs as often as usual. I haven't seen the grandkids since last November and I bet they have grown about a foot!! Can't wait to see them.

Don't forget me -- I'll be back in a couple of weeks!

A Father's Day Card

This is my offering for the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches #33. Here is the sketch that I used for the layout of my card....

I made this card for a friend at church and the inspiration for the card came from scripture -- chapter one of Psalms speaks of a righteous man who is "like a tree firmly planted by streams of water. Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers." Fathers need both the righteousness of the Lord and the wisdom of the Lord as they raise their families to love and follow God.

Papers are from a pack by My Minds Eye, stamp is from Stampin' Up and I used a Cuttlebug Branches embossing folder to emboss the rusty colored panel from SU and a Spellbinders die to cut out the name which was computer generated.

Will be back tomorrow with another one that will look similar because it's made with the same materials -- just a different layout!
