4 Cards from 1 Sketch

I'm hosting the 90 Minute Scramble at the Hero Arts Flickr Group this morning. I made up a sketch for a quick inchie card as the theme for the challenge.
Here's the sketch.....

And here are some ideas I came up with.....






Card Recipes:

I was reminded yesterday why I started blogging a little over a year ago....I wanted to meet and be inspired by talented paper-crafters, have a place to share my work and get honest critiques but the most important reason was to share my faith in Jesus Christ. God has blessed me by blessing others through my Thought for the Day. I wanted to give thanks to God for the amazing people He has brought into my life through this online community. I got the sweetest email yesterday from a sister in Christ (she just happens to share my name) who found my blog because of the link on Jennifer McGuire's blog post. Her words were wonderful and touched my heart, I'm so glad she took the time to write. Call it coincidence or serendipity, I believe it's all by God's design because of His love for us.
Romans 8:28 ~ "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
buckets of blessings,

    Oh my...I love them all! Especially the graphics on the second one. It would take me 90 minutes just to look for my supplies. Hopefully you'll host another when I'm more organized...
    hugs and blessings to you,
    Donna

    all your cards are so delightful and show just how much you can do with a sketch Nancy, Wish I could have taken part, but the timing wasn't right for me.
    Loved your thought of the day comments too... I am blessed to have got to know you through this medium too.
