Happy Tuesday, everyone!! How was the beginning of your week? We pulled up all the Christmas decorations, and I plan on slowly getting everything up and hopefully finished by December 1st. So, after not working out since last Monday, I went to Oula (dance fitness) two days in a row....and I am SO sore. It's a good sore though....so I shouldn't complain. I took today off, but will be back in the gym tomorrow & Thursday for Oula again! Yay! Oula is only offered in a few different states right now, but if dance fitness & Top 40 music is up your alley....I suggest you learn about Oula and start asking your local gym to look into it!

Happy Sunday, everyone! Did you have a good rest of your Saturday? We watched football, and I ran to Michael's to get a couple things from their Black Friday ad. I got some super cute ribbon that was 60% off, and some ornaments to add to my tree that were 50% off. And, I got the berry sprig for 70% off that is on my card today! I didn't spend much...but got some pretty cute things for a small amount of cash! Gotta love that!

Happy Saturday, everyone!! Sorry it has been a little while since my last post...it has been a busy week filled with other things than card making! I hope that all my American readers had an awesome Thanksgiving, and that everyone has had a wonderful start to this holiday season! We experienced the craziest thing this morning! We were getting ready to head out, and all of a sudden we heard this loud BOOM! and our house seriously shook. We just stared at each other for a second, then ran outside....because we were certain someone had to have run into our garage or something. Well, we ran outside at about the same time everyone else in our neighborhood did....and none of us had any idea what happened. This is when social media is awesome...because people started posting on Facebook, and the Missoulian posted on their page a bit after it happened that it was a planned detonation at the landfill. Well- that planned detonation with no time & date release to the media shook the entire city of Missoula. Might have been nice to know that was happening....
I have a soft & shabby love card to share with you today. It is full of Prima's "Tea Thyme" collection and other Prima flowers & embellishments. I just love how romantic and sweet this card is...the resin embellishments kind-of make me sigh a little bit. Tee hee! Check it out!
Instructions:
1. Make A2 card from vintage cream cardstock.
2. Cut background paper slightly smaller, sand the edges & adhere.
3. Add a resin photo corner & a bling frame to the front.
4. Back a resin frame with paper, add the sentiment to the middle, and adhere to the top of the bling frame.
5. Tie a bow from seam binding, then layer with flowers & a bottle cap trinket to the corner of the frame.
6. Add two pink flowers to the opposite corner of the frame.
7. Tuck a wooden ticket slightly under the bottom flower cluster, then accent with a gold crown to finish.

Isn't that card just plain pretty?! I love it. The Tea Thyme collection is my very favorite of all the collections from Summer CHA. I cannot WAIT to see what Prima has up their sleeve for Winter CHA...so excited!! I have some Bible study notes to share with you today, so let's get to it!
1 Peter 3:5-7
Alright....the submission thing. So, I used to wrinkle my nose at that word. Truthfully....sometimes I still do. It has such a negative connotation attached to it, and has really been taken out of context by people in the church. Submitting to my husband doesn't mean that I have no opinion, that I can't speak my mind or make known what I want.
I see it like this- I would never make a big decision without talking to my husband about it, and the same goes for him. We talk about things, and make decisions together based on what we believe is best for our lives & situations.
Ephesians 5:25 says, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ Jesus also loved the church and gave Himself up for her."
A husband's role model should be Christ, and if you've ever read the gospels you know that Jesus talked with and was surrounded by many women. He never talked down to them...never exercised control over them. He treated them as He treated everyone else....as a person with thoughts, feelings & emotions.
Until later,
