Good morning. Today I'm going to share with you a very unusual birthday card that I'm not quite sure about but at least we can figure out why it was a Paper Crafts Magazine reject! I had one idea in my head when I made this card, but another came out on paper. I do hope that it will provide you with a little color inspiration though.
Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me today and may the Lord richly bless you. Today's Treasure: Ezekiel 48:35. While this may seem like an off the cuff verse for you, it tells you what the name Jerusalem in Israel really means.
