In today’s readings, we are reminded of God’s abundant love for us and that Jesus will never abandon us. By offering us the beatitudes Jesus envisions our everyday life transformed into something new. He challenges us to care for the poor and be aware of injustice. He wants us to think about his promise of love to us and how we can extend that same love and mercy to our neighbors. He wants us to step out of our complacency and change the world.
This is a life of hope where our rewards will be great in heaven. But, we cannot do it alone. We cannot rely only on our human strength, we need the Holy Spirit so we will have the courage to move forward in holy boldness. We have to first strengthen our relationship with Jesus and then we will be filled and able to extend unconditional love and generosity to others.
So today, read through the eight Beatitudes and focus on how Jesus is teaching all of us the virtues and values in life that will result in blessings and rewards.

Hello my stamping friends, I am back today with another Favorite Things Friday featuring a clean and simple card using the new Flowing Flowers stamp set in the January – June 2022 mini catalog. This set is quickly becoming one of my favorites in the new catalog.
I love how simple and elegant these flowers look, especially when you stamp them in a variety of colors.
My card today begins with a Basic White card base and I used Melon Mambo, Highland Heather and Old Olive inks. The light gray highlight around the card is just so you can see the image more clearly. Although it would also look good backed with Smoky Slate CS-who knew?
The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and punched with the Label Me Lovely punch., which I layered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also add a few pearls that were in my stamping stash!

Sympathy cards are never fun to send, but they can and do bring comfort to those in sorrow. Today my card was created simply because I had a left over piece of the Daffodil Afternoon designer series paper that I just had to use. I know you can all relate, and this paper is so beautiful so why waste right?
For those of you who do not know about this paper, you can get it FREE with a $50 order through my online store. Our host code is 4CW6QDVV. But hurry, this sale and this host code ends on February 28th.
Here is a close up look at the paper pack.

And here is the card I created. The sentiment is also part of our Sale-A-Bration products, Special Moments # 158081. FREE w/ $100 purchase. See all products used on today’s project at the end of this post.
I began my card with a Very Vanilla card base, added a layer of Evening Evergreen and then the designer series paper.
I stamped the greeting from Special Moments in Evening Evergreen ink directly to the designer series paper. And just like that my card is complete. Happy Stamping!

Today’s card was created for my daughter’s roommate, who absolutely loves plants. This is a perfect card for anyone who has a green thumb! I love plants and a well groomed yard, but I am just not good at growing things, so these plants are perfect for me.
I began with a Crumb Cake card base and added a layer of Cajun Craze that I dry embossed with the Brick and Mortar embossing folder. I stamped a few of the pots with Cajun Craze ink and a few with Shaded Spruce. I decided to add a mixture of stamped greenery and Designer Series paper images.
I used Very Vanilla for the hanging pot and added Happy Birthday in Memento Black. This is a really great bundle and while it looks really involved it did not take long to put together. You can choose your plants to be all designer series paper, all stamped images or a combo as I did in the image above. Either way, I am sure your green thumb friends will love it.

My daughter and her roommate live in Chicago and they just got hit with a ton of snow, so I am hoping this fun card filled with lots of summery greenery will be a ray of sunshine for both of them.
