Stampaganza Blast from the Past

Stampaganza is our chance to buy two stamp sets and get one free. We can also get the opportunity to purchase stamp sets that were previously retired from Close To My Heart.  Today we are showcasing stamp sets from the past that have been re-released just for this month..  You may have come from Brenda Lapp's blog.  If you get lost along the way, you can find the whole list at Melinda Everitt's blog here.

 I decided to play with the Washi Wonder stamps again to make another card. You can see all of the re-released stamp sets here.

I was inspired by a sketch at Atlantic Sketch Challenge and the current Color Dare at Color My Heart.

 

I hadn't used this stamp much when I first got it a couple of years ago. (That happens to me a lot.)Now I can't stop playing with it!  You are ready to go to Darlys Recker's blog.

Praying for So Many

In the past few days my oldest daughter had surgery, a good friend's son lost his eye in an accident and is having a second surgery, and tomorrow my son's wife is having surgery.  Amazingly, I had serious eye pain for two days and I used it as a prompt to help me remember to pray for the eye surgery and my daughter each time it bothered me, which meant a lot of praying! Saturday my eye was fine and I heard that the patients were much better, too. It's amazing how prayer works! Here's another one of my encouragement cards that's going to be hand-delivered tomorrow.

I used the top row across at CAS-ual Fridays tic-tac-toe challenge:

I used one of the stamp sets that has been re-introduced this month at CTMH, called Washi Wonder. There's a great sale for stampers, buy two get one free.
