Miracles

Did anyone think I had disappeared off the face of the earth?  I was beginning to wonder about myself!  Ha!  Last weekend was a busy weekend.  Then we had revival at church that began on Sunday night and ran through Wednesday night.  Then our modem bit the dust, and a new one just arrived today via UPS.  Our UPS delivery man is lucky I didn't grab him and kiss him!  LOL.  I am such an internet junkie!

I made this card for a Deputy Sheriff from a small county in Virginia (where I am originally from) who was shot in the line of duty a month or so ago.  Two officers were killed, and one other officer was injured as well.  I actually graduated from high school with the shooter (who was shot and killed by the police), and no one seems to know why he went on a shooting rampage.  Anyway, the recipient of this card is paralyzed from the waist down as of now.  But, I heard that he was having some pain in his thighs and he told them they were hurting his feet when they were doing physical therapy.  So, I am praying that God will heal him, and he will walk again.  He is in Georgia in rehab.  He goes to church with my parents, and although I do not know him, I wanted to send him a card.  Thus, this card was made.

Here's how it was made:

Size:  A2
Cardstock:  Bazzill
Patterned Papers;  DCWV Linen Closet Stack
Frame:  Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge cut at 4 1/2" (I think)
I used my Stampin' Up punch for the corners. (I can't remember the name of this punch, and I can't find it in their catalog now.)
I printed the sentiment and cut it with one of my Nestabilities oval dies, and it was perfect with the frame!
Doilies:  Martha Stewart punch, with added pearls and gems.
I also used a Fiskars border punch (that you can barely see) and a little baker's twine.

Hope you like it, and have an awesome weekend!  I'd love to hear from you.  Your comments make my day.
