Faith Makes All Things Possible

Sorry I'm a little MIA again lately. My Dad's health has taken a turn for the worse and I've been visiting with him and helping my Mom wherever I can. So I think this card is perfect for today for me anyway. I'm trying to have faith and know that this is in God's hands.
I'm playing along at Use Your Stuff #479 today where the challenge is Paper Strips. I keep ALL of my scraps. I arrange the pieces by color in an inexpensive metal 9x13" baking pan on keep them on a shelf on my roll around cart that fits under my desk. I'm always grabbing the small pieces to use on projects.
When that tray starts getting full I pull out some border dies like the Pretty Pink Posh Stacked Edges or these Skinny Strips from Waffle Flower. I cut lots of strips at the same time and then store them in the envelope I keep the die in.

When I'm looking for a colorful background I attach the strips to a cardstock panel. I usually arrange them in rainbow colors but just about any combination looks great!
The Oversized Faith sentiment die pairs perfectly with the coordinating sentiments. I chose primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) for the sentiments. The white outline die helps them stand out against the busy background.
I hope you're doing well and sending you a big hug if you need one!
