I can’t sleep even though I’m really tired and mentally drained. The card I’m sharing here is my third card for Splitcoaststampers for the March theme “Songs From the Heart.” Perhaps my heart called me out of bed to share this one knowing I needed it most. I’ll at least sleep better reminded that I’m not alone as I feel.
The background is blended with distress inks. I colored the bears on separate cardstock and fussy cut them out and used a postage border die to cut out the top layer.
I feel like I made these cards so long ago that I can’t remember all the little details. But the image itself warms me. No matter how bad a day is – you’re not alone. I have neighbors, friends, and family who experience similar set backs and feelings as I do in different ways and now more than ever – there is always someone to relate to on different levels. I truly am grateful for this community of crafters, the neighborhood that I live in, and for my family.
Good night, everyone!

You made me smile. I love it. I just purchased a stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs that means a lot to me. “My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever.” Psalm 73: 26 New Living Translation (NLT). Praying right now that God’s
Spirit will energize you and remove any anxiety or stress.

Oh, Caly, I love this card and love the sentiment! How sweet these little bears are, and your background is just so beautiful…I love the amazing coloring in the sky! Yes, we are never alone, and I continue to praise God for how He is always with me and provides me with a wonderful family and so many friends. And I count you as a dear and precious friend (and DD sister too). Big hugs and love! xoxo
