God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But, if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
---Muhammad Ali

"We are driven to create at this deep wordless level of the soul because we are all fashioned in the image of a God who is an Artist." - Michael Card, Scribbling in the Sand.

GROWL!!!  It's snowing for those of you that don't know me I HATE snow.

Unfortunately, since it is snowing it's hard for me to get a good picture of my newest card.  I even designed a cricut cut out with my gypsy I had fun with the designing but sure need more work with it.  But for my first try I was pretty happy.

The stamp of the doll is a Magnolia from the 2010 Christmas collection.   She is colored with copics and stamped with momento ink.  The sentiment stamp is Close to my heart the stamps were all cut out with spellbinders with my Sizzix Big shot.  Never thought I would own two die cut machines but they sure both have their own place in scrapping and card making.

Here is the outside of the card:

And finally the inside and my gypsy design:
