myasperations 7-16-25

     I was honored to be invited to be a guest designer for the Word Art Wednesday Challenges in July. This is my second card using the current scripture verse, which is a favorite of mine when we live in a world of constant change… and so much of the change is difficult and frightening! As my husbands MS continues to progress at a devastating progress, I am so thankful for God’s grace. In spite of what we see or feel, we both know that our God is right here with us… supporting us through the pain and fear. It is not easy… but during the difficult decades, Rich and I have grown closer than I ever imagined. To each other… and to our God! Amen and Amen!

    The beautiful pre-colored Monarch Wreath is from a FB site that offers free digis, which I visit a lot, Free Printables for your Junk Journaling with TLC. (See details in my supplies section.) The beautifully colored digi really stands out on the B&W patterned background paper. I printed out an extra butterfly, fussy-cut and popped him up from the card with foam tape. I chose a digi with a butterfly because, to me, butterflies represent new life, transformation, and most of all, HOPE!  Right now, I choose to hold on to hope.
