Card Ministry

We just got back from Colorado yesterday. Great vacation! We froze on top of Pike's Peak, ate at wonderful restaurants, shopped, rode an antique steam engine in the mountains, went to the Zoo and just a fantastic visit with our son.

Here are a couple designs that we made in Card Ministry this month.
