One of my favorite passages is Proverbs 31:10-31 so I absolutely love the fact I now have part of it in stamp form in the Scripture Medley 4 set!!!  It was the perfect sentiment to put on a card for my daughter as she will be starting university in just a few weeks and is quite nervous.  A perfect way to reminder her who is her strength and who has her future in the palm of His hands. 

She is a romantic, girly girl, so this paper from MME's In Bloom was a the perfect fit.  I added a flower from one of my favorite Verve sets, Dream Big and the coordinating Scalloped Flowers die set, and accented it with the Sprightly Sprigs dies.  A few pops of red to liven it up a bit and I was good to go.   Can't wait to give it to her :)
