PTI March 2012 & For Janelle Blog Hop

I was contemplating if I wanted to participate in the blog hop and decided to do it at the very last minute. Being a slow crafter, I barely made it to submission. Anyway the challenge for this month is based on the inspiration photo below:

Here is my take:

I thought the colors look really cheery and spring and thought to base my card on that. The dandelion stamp looks faint as it is 2nd generation stamped. I wanted it to look like it was floating around in the background.

So happens, another blog hop is also taking place. I got to read about it yesterday and it is for Janelle. I don't know her and  didn't know about her until this blog hop and got to read her story. No words can describe what she and her family is going through. I just wanted to send in my encouragement as I do understand to a certain extent. My youngest sister had brain tumor.


I just want to end with a note that God has a plan and a purpose for all of us. I'm touched with Janelle's sharing of Psalms. They truly brought my parents and I comfort and peace during those difficult times. May God bless you, Janelle & Ken as well as your family.
