ICS, TPE, and BBB

WOW!!! I could not think of a title, so I abbreviated everything this post holds :). lol!

Welcome back to ICS. It was nice to have a little break. I spent a lot of time with the kids and did not make very many cards the past two weeks, so I guess now i am making up for lost time!!! I admit when Tuesday rolled around this past week I did sort of a panic thinking I had forgotten :/. Whew, was I ever relieved when I checked the DT blog out! Anyway, Dawn has started the New Year off with another amazing sketch. This one is so fun!!! I really enjoyed working with it and I know you will too. I {stamped} for this one ((don't fall out, I know I have been using tons of digis lately)). It was fun getting out my stamp pad, even for just a sentiment or 5? lol! (you will see as you go through the post where the 5 comes in).

I chose to use a Stampabilities stamp for this card. I know this past year how much God has been there for me and my family. I am not much of a 'New Year's' resolution committer. I feel that a new year is just that, a new year and nothing but a date change. It does not magically change the past or take away the other year. Every year near the end almost everyone is ready for it to be gone and to start new. I feel that this 'year' instead of waiting for the new, I will do all I can to praise God and love him and thank him every day, no matter what is going on, no matter what year it is. He deserves it all. I am inscribed on the palm of his hand. He died for me. I am so unworthy, but he loves me so much. I can not wait until the day when I can look upon his face and just hug him. I know right now I probably would not make him proud, I have a lot to change and lots of room to grow. So, no resolutions for me, just a stronger commitment to God and to love him wholeheartedly.

This card was supposed to be also for The Pink Elephant Recipe challenge ... but I FORGOT THE SNOWFLAKES!!! doh!!! Well, back to the drawing board :)

This card is for The Pink Elephant: 3 buttons, 2 DP and SNOWFLAKES!!!

Have a wonderful week everyone!!! I hope you get the chance to stop back in for the BUSY BEAUTIES BLOG HOP on the 7th of January. You will not be disappointed!!! Wait until you see the cuties she has in store :)!! EeEEEeeeeEEEee! so fun!!!
