Pretty Perennials and New In-Colors!

Just Because Cards / /

Today’s card features three of the new In-Colors, Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent and Pale Papaya. The Pretty Perennials stamp set is perfect for showcasing many of our Stampin’ Up! colors. I love this set because sometimes you just need a little happy.

I will be very sad to see it retire at the end of June, but there is still time for you to add it to your list. Don’t you just love how the Stamparatus makes crisp, dark images?

Peace Be With You! -Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

Today we celebrate Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit. We can find consolation in the life of Jesus and how he always brings peace and reconciliation.

So let’s meditate a bit on peace. What is peace? Where is there a lack of peace in my life?

The gift of the Holy Spirit brings us ever closer to the Lord. So when it comes to inner peace we need to ask ourselves, “Do I allow God to move in me so that I can offer the gift of peace to others.”
