I could not believe it when I got done making it, then it hit me "I did not even use a stamp." That doesn't happen very often so I was amazed! Haha
Do you notice the fall background? That is my backyard. I love the fall of the year. God has such a beautiful palette of colors!

The Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers 24 that I am a member of has a weekly challenge and the one this week was a sketch. I kinda turned it around a little by putting a verse where the image should go and my image where the sentiment should go but it turned out nicely I think. What do ya think?
