Hope

When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
~Author Unknown

There is a new set in the TLC store called Cross of Hope.  It's filled with five of the most beautiful crosses I've seen!!  I was blessed to be able to play around with the set and wanted to do something a bit different for it since the crosses in the set are just so beautiful by themselves.
That's when I decided to try a center step card.  I've never done one before and to my pleasant surprise, it really wasn't hard at all!!  In fact, I'll definitely be doing this folded style again in the near future:  it was so much fun and has such a stunning effect!


Thanks for stopping by today and hope you have a fabulous day ahead of you!

  1. Your card is beeathtaking, Sara. I love that quote and will be putting it in my smash book immediately. :) I just tried my first center step card last week too... besides a couple of hiccups, I can see they have the potential to become addicting. :) :) :) Hope your day is most fabulous!
