Marvelous Monday #72

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 72nd 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, I'm sharing the 5th and final card from the Looking Up card kit.  Hopefully, you have enjoyed seeing the cards from this kit.  The palm trees on the card and on the envelope along with the sentiment "I'm so very thankful for you" can offer the recipient a thoughtful way of showing how important they are to you.

Today's Scripture Reading:
"No matter what happens, always be thankful. For this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus"
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Next week, I will begin to share some ideas for Thanksgiving.
May you have a Marvelous Monday and a blessed week.

Last week I mentioned I would be sharing some cards from a card kit called Looking Up. This kit includes enough supplies to create 15 cards, 3 each of 5 designs.  It comes packed like this:





Each card base has unique backgrounds, here is an example of one of the backgrounds:
After I stamped the sentiment Thanks So Very Much and added a copper foiled sticker, this is the finished card:
