Ask, Seek, Knock

These two cards were made prior to the release of the door set at Sugar Creek Hollow, consequently I never shared them with you. So I thought I would go ahead and post them.

This set is one of my favorites, it can be used as I have done with a faith theme but the door can be used as a "new home" card, "welcome" card, "Christmas" card; I'll bet you can think of other ways to use it! It is so versatile and looks good anyway you decide to showcase it!

On the first one I made it more of a spring or summer card with the flowers around the door, the second card feels more like a winter card with the stark look of bare branches on either side of the door. Each card presents a different feeling, which one do you like the best?  As I sit here I am thinking of other ways to presenting this image. One of the design team members made a beautiful Christmas card, it was just stunning!

Hopefully you are having a blessed weekend with sunshine and warmth, to my dear friends in the "north country" ..... take heart, spring is definitely on the way!

Thanks for dropping by, look around, leave your thoughts and comments, take a look at SCH. Hoping you have a wonderful weekend!!

Donna, your cards are just stunning, I love the foliage you use on the top "spring" one. I like the idea of using it as a welcome card, it could also be used for an invitation to a friend or family member living far away to come visit.
