Marvelous Monday #54

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 54th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture Readings. 
Today is Memorial Day a day set aside here in the United States for remembering and honoring persons who have died serving the United States Armed Forces. I want to take a moment to honor our fallen heroes while serving.
My daughter's good friends recently got engaged, so she asked me to create a card for them. She requested that the card have gold in it.  I thought I would give her a few options. Since I did not have a stamp set that says, "You're Engaged!" I created one on the computer and printed in on white card stock.  I then punched out the sentiment with several punches. The card base has a beautiful gold frame around it. She liked the result, and I hope you do too:

Hooray! I'm celebrating 52 "Marvelous Monday" posts. I would like to share a link to the very first Marvelous Monday from last year, 2018-http://joyfulheartcreationsanddesigns.blogspot.com/2018/05/is-it-possible-to-have-marvelous-monday.html
I hope that you have come to enjoy these Marvelous Monday posts each week, and I plan to continue to offer them each week going forward.
Today I would like to share some mini 3"x3" cards in some soft, subtle colors. This is such a fun size to write a quick note to someone. Although they are too small to mail, you can always put them in a larger envelope.

Today's Scripture Reading:
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 51st in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings. 
On Sunday, May 5, 2019, here in the United States, we celebrate Mother's Day. A day set aside to honor mothers. The word mother can take on many meanings-a mom to your pets, a step-mom, perhaps you do not have any children of your own, but you are a mom to your friend's children. 
 I want to acknowledge for some of you reading my blog, Mother's Day may bring some sadness to you if your mother is no longer here, or if you have lost a child.  My heart goes out to you.
The projects I'm sharing today are an excellent way to celebrate Mother's Day.  To see the photos in more depth, simply double click the photo:
Another project I'm sharing today  are some mini albums:
