CARDS blog challenge & Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Thanksgiving place cards

ETA: I noticed my Thanksgiving place cards fit the Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab Blog too! :)
Hey everybody! Well, first of all, I just can't say how much it means to me that ya'll pray for needs in my life! Thank ya'll so much! I know it seems like I have been asking for prayer alot here lately, but prayer is SO important to me! So with that being said, the baby is doing pretty good, he is still in NICU, and I don't know how long he will be there. They are still running tests.

I did want to ask if you could please pray for my husband. He noticed a couple of days ago his vision seemed weird and then a little bit later he had a bad headache. Then the next day, it happened again, weird vision, then a headache. So I made him a eye appointment, because he was hit in the eye with a rock from the lawn mower when he was 10 and busted his retna, so we wanted to make sure, that wasn't it! He went today and everything was fine with his eyes. So the eye dr. suggested that he go to his regular dr., to get a MRI, because he thinks it is migraines. My husband was in a car wreck about 9 years ago and got whip-lash, and his back and neck have hurt ever since. He just told me about a month ago, that he wanted to go get a MRI, to see why his back hurt! So I guess he will find out both problems, and it could be possible that he is having migraines because of his back! So he goes to his regular dr. next week, so I will keep ya'll updated! I know that's alot of info, but I feel like I know ya'll and I wanted to give you the info to pray about, if you will! :) Thanks so much!

I also forgot about the PTI blog hop last month. I made some place cards for it, but the day passed by before I knew it, and it was to late to join! So when I saw the CARDS blog had a challenge to make Thanksgiving place cards, I had to use these. Ya'll know I love the PTI- Try Before You Buy Papers, so I printed off some First Fruits paper. I did a little stitching and added some PTI holiday mix- vintage buttons and stamped our names. I set the table up in a Thanksgiving decor and I was getting all excited about the Holiday's! :) We don't know our exact plans for Thanksgiving yet, so I guess I need to figure that out! :)

Supplies:

Cardstock- (Paper reflections) cream

Patterned paper- (PTI) Try before you buy papers

Stamp- (K&Company) Amy Butler alpha stamps, (PTI) polka dot basics II

Ink- (SU!) close to cocoa, (Martha Stewart) green

Buttons- (PTI) Holiday mix- vintage buttons

Other- twine-(WalMart), cream stitching from machine

Have a Blessed day!

Embellish the Cure Color Challenge with Bling and CARDS blog challenge

Well Hello! I would say TGIF, but we have a very busy weekend! We have a family reunion that we cannot attend, our employee is getting married and we cannot attend, all because of FOOTBALL games! I am so ready for football and cheerleading to be over! :) We would miss the games so we could attend the other events, but so many players have already quit! We really need the players, so we are going to the games! We just found out that Chace's team and the team Autumn cheers for, is going to playoffs! So that means at least one more game next weekend, and if they win, there will be more! This season is like the Energizer Bunny, " it keeps going and going and going!" :) Oh well, they are only kids once! :)
Well today I wanted to share a card I made for my sister's MIL. She just found out this week that she has breast cancer. When I heard the news, I just wanted to let her know that I would be praying for her, then I see that Ashley and the girls had another challenge for us, and that is just what I needed to make her this card! The challenge was Embellish the Cure Color Challenge with Bling! We are to use the colors fuschia, light pink and grey and use bling! Look at the pretty pictures and colors, it is one of my most favorite color combos and I think I need those shoes! :) I also submitted it to the CARDS blog Challenge, where we are to use lots of white space and a some type of collage! My card wasn't showcased over at the CARDS blog, but some of my friends cards were! Kelley, Sarah, & Kim and alot of other talented ladies! So go by and check them out! (The inside of the card reads... "The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind it!" I also wanted to share the meaning of the word "Hope". Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that the events turn out for the best. That is encouraging to me, so if there is someone out there reading this and needs some encouragement, just remember that God can give you Hope through any circumstance! Supplies:
Cardstock- (PTI) sweet blush, (Georgia Pacific) white
Stamps- (PTI) polka dot basics II, (The Paper Company) faith greetings
Ink- (PTI) smokey shadow, (SU!) Pink passion
Other- (Recollections) pink rhinestones, (Fiskars) upper crest border punch

Have a Blessed day!
