For MaryLou

It has been a while - we have just had a week of travel and visiting family - what a great Christmas, to share with family and friends.  I hope you have also had a blessed Christmas.
This is for a friend with many health problems.  The latest issue for her was back surgery - so she spent Christmas in a rehab facility.  It is a very pleasant place, but still lonely.  We had a chance to visit briefly a few days ago, and now I want to continue to do what I can to cheer her.
I used some Spellbinder dies I have had for a long time.  The blue and paisley as well as the ribbon are also from my stash.  I added the gold strips to cover an error in cutting - I suspect a few of you can relate!  The sentiment is Our Daily Bread (Faith).

Dorothy: These are wonderful colors, and of course your scripture is AWESOME! I feel so blessed to have you share God's Word in your art, and I thank you for sharing it with us in this week's challenge.

This card was eye-catching--even in a thumbnail on WAW! Love the pastel paisley paper and can definitely relate to cutting errors! All is well, though. Praying your friend will be encouraged by your card!
