A day of Grace

Today is February 29th.  It's the extra day of the year, so it's kind of like a bonus day.  An extra day of grace if you will.  With my "extra" day, I had to take my daughter to a neurologist.  We have been making the rounds of docs working to figure out a diagnosis.  When my daughter and I returned home, she wanted to rest, so I came to my crafting area to "chillax" (a new favorite word taken from the TV show Modern Family.  Love that show!).  I know I am a blessed person, but I decided to make something for myself, something that I can see on a daily basis that will remind me of God's Grace in my life.  I opened My Digital Studio (MDS) and made this project.

The frame is one that I had on hand, and I loved the way the page looks inside it.  MDS is becoming easier and easier for me to use.  This project took me no more than 10 minutes from inception to print.  Can you see the flourish from the brush set Baroque Motifs behind the words?  One of the things I like most about MDS is the capability to take an image and have your way with it -- make it bigger, smaller, or more transparent, like you stamped it in Versamark.  I printed onto Very Vanilla card stock.  It's very elegant looking IRL.  The color of the flourish and the text is Cherry Cobbler. 

Here's a closer look at the prayer.  It is a prayer written by Marjorie Holmes which I read today in a book entitled Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach.   When I read the prayer this morning, I knew I wanted to have it start more of my days.  What better way to remember the prayer than to put it in a frame on my dresser for use each morning?!  

Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope your "extra" day has been lightened by Grace.
