Can I just start by saying my last two week's have been from H-E double toothpicks! I think that God is trying to test my strength and patience! It all began when I through my back out, almost lost our dog to who knows what, funerals, argument with hubby, incredible indescribable problems with my sons school which have reached way beyond the school, lost my car keys at JoAnn's and took two and half hours to find them, made me late for my mommy and me class at my church that I do for our congregations and after all the rushing only two out of 12 kids showed with their mom! By did I need to stamp and relieve stress! It is snowballing and I AM NOT GOING TO LET IT GET ME DOWN! So I took a few minutes while doing laundry to make a card for this week's blogger's challenge. I didn't feel like worring about using all current products or non-Stampin Up products, just some of my favorite retired stamps, and some retiring colors.
This week we have a sketch challenge....
I am sorry that I am not feeling up to adding all the details right now, I really just want to go do some stamping and crafting with my son. If you have questions please ask, it is pretty basic though. The colors are Ruby Red, Pumpkin Pie, Apricot Appeal, Very Vanilla.
Hope you day is filled with many blessing!

God never gives us more than we can handle and although, it sounded difficult, you handled it (with God's help, of course!!!) Keep your chin up and way to treat yourself to some stampin' therapy! Terrific card!!!

Sorry it was a difficult week but you made a beautiful card. I have been walking around all week saying, "I feel just like Job". Even though it was tough I feel blessed. Thank you for sharing with us.

MJ: I am sorry you are going through so much, know that I'm thinking of you and have been there. I don't know whether to believe 100% that God never gives any more than we are able to handle. I'm so glad you were able to take time to stamp and let go of some of that stress even for a little bit. Awesome card-love the colors and that set always makes for a WOW card.
