Life's Sweet

Melina is the current hostess of the Mystery Image card swap and she sent us three  small images with instructions to use all three on our card. She also sent a sentiment that we could use if we chose to do so. Well of course... I chose to do so. ;)

Here's my card:

I sure hope Melina likes it... and the other swappers, too!

Autumn Friendship

Have I mentioned we're moving? We are! My husband has a new job, beginning December 1st. In the ministry, often times positions/jobs include housing, and that's the case with both his current position (Pastor of a local church) and his new position (Director of Missions for an Association of 25 churches). Sooooooo... I've been packing, packing, PACKING. It's okay though, I'm one of those rare individuals who loves to move! This move will be unique for us, since we're only moving 3-4 blocks away.

The bad thing about this moving thing is.... in the midst of packing, packing, PACKING, the 9th slipped up on me and I forgot to create/post my Three Musketeer card yesterday. So I'm doing it today, a day late.

I was the hostess this month, which means I chose the image and sent it to both Barb and Kelly. This stamp set is called "Autumn Friendship" (Mark's Finest Papers). I've had it quite some time but had never used it. I especially loved the sentiments, since these two ladies are two of my dearest friends! We may live far apart geographically, but we are close in our hearts.

Well, that's to say we were close... before I sent this image. EEK! They may both hate me after this. That image was a stinker to color/use. I'm sorry for such a challenge, Barb and Kelly!

Here's the inside of my card:

I'm anxious to see what my partners did with this image so let's head over and see...

Hairspray

Gael is the hostess of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Cards swap group this round and her theme was to choose a musical and then create cards that portray some part (or all) of that title.

I knew immediately what musical I wanted...

HAIRSPRAY

Hairspray is the 21st longest running Broadway musical (August 16, 2002  - January 4, 2009).
