For the TSC challenge this week, we were to make a card of one of our favorite things, or something fun from our past, etc. Well, I thought and thought and thought and couldn't come up anything fun from my past.....how boring is that!!
Anyway, I had just finished playing my favorite computer game and went into my craft room to make a card. Man, was I racking my brain for an idea!!!! Then, the lightbulb went on!!!! My favorite computer game is BEJEWELED!!!! I could easily make a card representing that game!
So, I dug out my "jewels", made a white grid on black cs and used jeweled colored punched letters for the word.
I love playing this game....it is very relaxing to me. As I match up the jewels (must get 3 or more in a row) my mind also wanders to different thoughts and often, I find myself praying for my family and friends and difficult situations. So, to me, this game is wonderful therapy!
This is another card that I don't know who or why I would send it to anyone! LOL!
What do you think?

Very cool card, love all that sparkle, I can totally relate to your thinking and praying as you play. I am a Spider Solitare person for the same reason. Your card is terrific!! I specially like the letters! TFS

I LOVE it. You gave us a personal side of you that we would have not known had we not had this challenge. Great job with this jeweled card. I think it is super. My special praying time is in the morning when I have my ipod blaring in my ear and I am outside walking. I can really put some time and thought into my day. TFS this Lesley.

Lesley, what a beautiful card. I love the jewels and the sparkly letters.
A really great job. I have never played bejeweled, where do I find it?
I like to play card games, maybe I will like that, too. Thanks so much for sharing.

Well this is very blingy and my kind of card. I have a suggestion to who or why you could send it out thought. To whom? Well, to someone who has put beauty, love, laughter and all those beautiful things in your life. I'd say we are bejeweled by them no...
Why? Well, for the same reasons and a close member of your family would even get it more knowing how you enjoy your game too. (smile)
It is beautiful Lesley, I was only suggesting here. Love it. TFS
