I wanted to play with my Christmas present today from Shirley Quarry (Wannabcre8tive) I love to watch the little birds in my garden and on my walks and my sis bought me the perfect stamp set for me, Thank you Shirley I love them, I did not have anyone in mind when I made this card so I didn't have a sentiment in mind for someone so I thought it would go nicely with a passage from the Bible :- Matthew 6: 25-27 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Thanks for looking.

Christina, I love this!! Clever to use this stamp with that great and encouraging verse from the Bible! I like your use of raffia too, it adds that natural element - the embossed bg is perfect, it looks like wood. Hope you're doing well now that 2011 has started!! I don't know why I keep missing your cards in the gallery, I'm obviously not on at the right times!!!

Sweet Christina~ you don't know how I needed these words from God today, thank you Sissy! Your card is so beautiful! The stamps from Shirley are gorgeous, and I love that MS branch punch on the leaves. The cuddled bg is so perfect for your scene, and the raffia reminds me of some nice nesting material for your sweet lil birdie. I am imagining you on your walks (thinking of your walking partner, Giggles) spying on all God's creation as you meditate on these words. Beautiful Sis. Lymi....hugs!

Christina, you did a fabulous job with your bird. I love how you used the MS branch punch to put greenery on the branches with the red berries. Your bird is colored very well. I like the embossed bg, it is so perfect along with the raffia. The verse, what can I say, it hits home with all of us. We all worry way too much and He is the one in control and provides us what we need. Looking at your bird makes me want to go get my stamp set like this and make a card. I have to make Abraham a birthday card today so I will use a go cart stamp. The birds will have to wait for another day.
