Never, Never, Never Give Up

This is my second post today.
It's a quick scroll down to The Alley Way Stamps sneak peek!

My teenager is suffering from a serious case of teenager-itis and after a long and difficult talk last night, I wanted to have a card ready to go for him this morning.

There is a perfect digi download over at Word Art Wednesday - it's a Christian group that has weekly downloadable Word Art - Christian and inspirational.  I discovered them through Marlena at Marlena Is Faithfully Crafting - she has wonderful cards and also amazing faith stories to go with each card.

Never Give Up
I am still playing with Washi Tape for the Catered Crop Recipe challenge and I got the layout from clean&simple's current Fall To Layout.

  • Stamps: Word Art Wednesday download
  • Paper: Stampin' Up Soft Suede, Poppy Parade
  • Accessories: Woodgrain Washi Tape from Love My Tapes, striped red from Queen & Co., EK Success postage border punch, Tim Holtz embossing folder

    Love the clean-ness of this - great sentiment and wonderful steam punk tie in through the embossing! I have a teen too - I know where you're coming from!

    Hi Kim, Teenage years are the worst! A Doctor told a friend of mine to just feed them keep them warm and love them till they come out the other end. Mine is just starting on his teenage years but I'm sure he's practising for the last year! A super clever card. love the embossed cogs in the background.

    What a nice mum you are! I am sure your teenager will look back one day and will thank you for the time & effort & love you have put in. My youngest daughter turned 20 this month ... My 4th to enter their 20s! At times it is a hard slog but so worth it in the end! Now I just need to get my baby through ... He is 14! Hugs xxx
