A Pink cow Christmas
I am participating on a Splitcoast stampers swap for Penny Black images, I chose this cute cow with a Christmas reef for the focal image. I used DCWV patterned paper, and coordinated it with retired Stampin Up card stock. The image is colored with copic markers and embellished with glitter, dew drops. The sentiment is from Hampton Art Stamps.
I am just in love with pinks this year for swaps, I really love the wonderful soft feeling of pink, it reminds me deeply of my favorite color mauve pink. I used a sizzix strip die (maybe called a border die) for the side of the card trying to change up the layout a bit.
It is already nearly the middle of September. It has been a hard year. Today, I had the honor of speaking with someone who has suffered somewhat silently with the depression issue. Depression is not a victimless problem. Depression like any medical issue is just that a medical issue in need of proper medication, treatment and follow through.
I did not choose to have depression in my life, but I have chosen to see a Psychiatrist, get proper medication and be honest with myself and those I love the most dearly about issues as they arise. I know how hard it is when you are in the grasp of this to even get out of bed. Things don’t make sense. There is hope, Jesus said in Jeremiah 14-21, I know the plans I have for the Future. Plans to give you a HOPE and a purpose. Plans to prosper you and give you a FUTURE. .
Yes, I am paraphrasing and don’t have the scripture exactly as it is written. My point is Jesus Christ as the greatest Physician, the greatest love of us mere humans and our greatest asset. My prayer is if you do not know him as personal Lord and Savior, you will pray a simple prayer asking him to meet you where you are, to have him come into your heart and change your life. I promise my friend, he will.
Be of good courage, have faith and be a blessing. As always, Stamp Happy!
