Birthday Surprise

This card was made for my Scrappy Sister MJ’s mother for her 85^th birthday. Isn’t she a pretty lady? The image was personally done by Robert Jackson. He's great!  You send him a photo and his gifted hands creates an A+wesome self digital image reasonably priced!. I'm sure she was on her way to church in this lovely ensemble. Her children are throwing her a surprise birthday party.  That's right....Celebrate Life!  I decided to write Happy Birthday and sign my name on the inside.  I hope she keeps it visible in reach just in case she has those days that are not as better as others.  I'm hoping this card would put an instant smile on her face.

Season's Greetings

I bring you Season's Greetings from Twist of Faith card challenges featuring Digi Darla's Christmas Bells & Garland digi image.  Bells are ringing Christmas Joy.  I used solid card stock to compliment the colors from my Bic Mark-it markers.  My sweet scrappy sister Tamika gifted me one holiday season with these markers and I absolutely love them.  They come in a small case and they are easy to carry along.

Sure hope you join us this week at Twist of Faith card challenges for our Baubles and Bells theme.  I just want to remind you to use your uplifting, healing, inspiration or scripture.

 

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" — which means, "God with us."

—Matthew 1:22-23

Do Not Open Until December 25th



I cannot tell you how excited I am about this Christmas.  It’s my nephew’s 1^st Christmas and I made this tag with him in mind after seeing a challenge at Mo’ Digital.  I am going to hang it on his tree so he can remember it each year.  Trimming trees is a tradition with my Mom.  She use to have one large tree.  Last year it was two and with grandbaby it’s three!  Yes he has his own tree lol.  Anyhow...I can't wait to recapture this moment with him under the tree in a box!  It's going to be a Kodak moment!!!   Stay tuned.....
