Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop Challenge

It. Has. Been. a Long. Winter.

Not only is the snow and cold endless...

spiritually...I feel rundown.

It's been a shoveling snow kind of season...lots and lots of emotional what not to push through and get past.

ugh.

I need refreshing.

Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop Challenge:

Stamping, praying, reflecting is what helps me deal.

When I say deal, I mean

"help me Lord I'm drowning and discouraged".

I'm one of those always on, engine running... thinking peeps that can't chill.

I can't.

He, on the other hand...

can.

Jesus always shows up.

He offers me new hope, and a new beginning for whatever has me stressed.

 I am renewed. I am refreshed, yet again. ;)

 Thank you Lord.

This card is going to my mom for Easter.

I made one for dad too.

 The following photo had me look for any masculine colors to change up for dad.

The right photo has blues and darker pink.

 I had a sliver of autumn rose pink that I stamped with black and die cut leaves out of.

I wanted to convey the same message...he's been through some stuff lately.

He needs renewing as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by friends~you make my day. ;)
