Today our Lovely Linda is our challenge hostess and the scripture she chose is Jeremiah 31:3.
"The LORD appears to him from afar: With age-old love I have loved you; so I have kept my mercy toward you."(New American Bible - St. Joseph Edition)
Love - such a powerful word! Sometimes I think we overuse it. We say, "I love coffee", or "I love that card". I always end a phone conversation (or a text) with my family with a quick "Love you". Quick words - but read the above verse again - that is not a quick {Luv U}. That is an amazing love - like no other. How lucky am I to be loved like that - how lucky are you? Awesome!
The challenge this week is to create a card or project that is vintage. I think that all of us have a technique that is well outside of our comfort zone. Vintage is mine. In fact there have been times when someone tells me that I made a great vintage card and I did not even realize that it was. Hopefully this qualifies Linda! I truly did hand sew around the grey panel! I used 2 different Cuttlebug embossing folders. I colored with just a few Copics and some sparkly pens. I had the charm.
