Stampin' Up! Elements of Style Card Idea

As I mentioned yesterday, I spent Friday night with my girlfriends, one of which just lost her father.  It was wonderful to laugh and cry with her as she goes through this loss.  Both myself and my other friend who was there, have lost our moms, and we can surely feel the pain our friend is experiencing..... And today as I read my Bible... the first verse I read spoke so greatly to my heart.... It's found in 2 Corinthians 1: 3-5.....

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in all trouble with the cmfort we ourselves have received from God.  For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

Yes, God comforted both my friend in I in the loss of our moms, so now we can use the comfort He gave us to comfort our friend.... Sometimes we question why God allows things to happen, but I truly believe that he works for good in ALL things.... If I had not experienced the same loss, how could he use me to help others? It was truly a blessing..... SOOOO.....

This card reminds me that moments like these are the precious things that make up our lives.  I thank God today for my friends....

My friend Nikki made it using the new Elements of Style stamp set and the NEW Presto Paper from the Summer Mini Catalog.  The paper is white, and using the new Smooch Spray, the design 'magically' appears. 

Here's a close up, but it really doesn't do it much justice as it is REALLY shimmery!

I will be featuring this spray at my May workshops... Do you have yours scheduled yet???  Why not!? :)

Have a fun filled blessed Sunday!
