Stampin' Sisters in Christ~A Cheerful Heart

It has been a long week for me as you can tell by the lack of posting and I am glad to be in my craft room again.  Our challenge today at Stampin' Sisters in Christ is brought to you by me.  I hope you enjoy it as it is a different one. Whenever I get to do the make and takes for the Our Daily Bread Designs booth at trade shows, the scripture that ladies most often choose is Proverbs 17:22  "A cheerful heart is good medicine" from the Get Well set.  As we talk they often tell me who will receive the card. I hear of so many sad stories of heartache and yet this verse is one that brings the hope of cheer to their loved one. So... when my turn came to provide the challenge I thought that this would be great verse. I have had it in the line up for several weeks but this week it has been put to the test as it is cancer check up time here. Those of you who have been touched by cancer know that check up time is always an adventure into the unknown. Maintaining a positive outlook is so important in all walks of life but crucial in fighting cancer. Cancer affects the body but not the mind and this week I wanted to make our challenge one that will bring cheer to all who participate.

Challenge:  Make a clean humorous card/project.  Lets see some laughter.

I could not decide which stamp I would use for today so I made a set of four cards.  They are of simple design but I hope you like them anyway.  I will tuck them away and give to a friend someday.  I love the sassy ladies on the Emerson images and thought they would make a great gift cards. Lucky for me I have friends that appreciate a good belly laugh. I have provided the rest below.



Our sponsor this week is DeeDee Digis.  As always we would love to have you join our challenge over at Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge blog.  I am sure that you will want to see all the other DT humorous cards as they are cuties.

Today's Blessing: Great to be in my studio again.  Too many tests and doctor visits makes for a very uncreative brain.  LOL

Thank for stopping by!
Have a great Lord's day,
Randi
