I cased this card from my favorite blogger, the very talented - Lauren Meader.  I love the simplicity of it. Lauren’s version has been burned into the creative corner of my mind since I saw it mid June. I still like hers better… she has a vellum butterfly that really completes the card. I NEED that Martha Stewart Punch! I used my new favorite technique to bind the card: Ri bbon! Here is an excellent tutorial. All stamps used are Papertrey Ink. The sentiment is by Martin Luther and reads: "God writes the gospel not in the bible alone, but on the trees and flowers and clouds and stars." It comes from Papertrey’s Out on a Limb sentiment set. There are a lot of beautiful sayings that I am looking forward to using from that set.  I love the bling in the flower’s center. I think these may be worthy of creating a set. They will make a nice gift.

On a personal note, my mom and grandmother were in a nasty car accident yesterday. My mom was driving and they were t-boned on my gram’s side. She was kept over night in the hospital and Nathan and I picked her up today. She seems to be doing much better today. My parents also closed today on their new home. Its a beautiful old farm house and they are excited to get things rolling there. They have big plans. This weekend is going to be busy! Friday we are excited to see the new Batman movie. Saturday we are meeting some of our favorite people in the world at a new Japanese Steak House in Greensburg for dinner, and Sunday we are off to White Oak park for my cousin Aidan’s birthday party. He’ll be 8 and its a dinosaur theme. The kids are making garden stepping stones during the party. My aunt always has the BEST party ideas so even though its a kids party I’m excited for it! I’m going to try to post more often. I have been working lots of cool stuff but can’t seem to get it online.
