Hello and welcome back to the blog! Today was a very interesting day, Bible study went very well,  I made breakfast during the week and I made two cards again.  First here a couple of pictures I shared on my FB page.

Up first is my tassel project. I saw online Bibles that had tassels so I decided that with our current book,  the 5 minute Bible study - for the Anxious Heart and before I retired this study bible and get my year-long bible. Which I may not start until 2021. But I've got handmade and store-bought tassels. Here is my last video of me making bookmarks and a tassel.  I use floss for them, which I got from Amazon .

Thought I'd share the photo I shot of myself today as well, it was taken to update my FB page. 

Finally on today's card.  I'm loving how the second card turned out. Yup, you heard it second!  I used the die cuts, for my card below leftover from my first card that somehow moved during die-cutting. BAH! Ah well, I got a twofer! I used the amazing Poppy Garden from Altenew stamp in Obsidian Black, heat set and gradient of color with the Red Cosmos inks for the main background.  Overall I love the simple design of the card, but it was not where I was going. 

Here was my original idea, of a simple shaker card with minimal imagery and lots of color and negative space from the die cuts. But as I stated the die moved during the cutting process and went wonky on me.  I finished the card as an example, how easily die-cutting can go wrong. I added lots of shaker bits from Pretty Pink Posh.

Anyway, I'm done for today. I hope you like the cards and my tassels on my study Bible. Somedays life is easy and you forget to thank the Lord for all he has given you. Change that today! Pray for the good in the world, in your life and love the Lord our God with all your heart. Amen
