Good Morning & Happy Thursday Stamping Friends!

It's the last day of the month & that means we share our artwork for the Crafters of Faith Bloggers group.  Our hostess for February is Tami & here is her challenge:

 I have a crafting tool that I just had to have and have hardly used. Does that sound remotely familiar?! I think you all may have the same tool in your arsenal. I would like you to drag out your scoring tool. Scor-Pal mini, biggie, Martha mini, biggie or if you do not have one of those, I am sure that you may have a scoring blade on your paper cutter. SCORE!!! It would be fun to see how you all incorporate scoring onto your card. You know I am into 'use what'cha got', so if you do not have a scoring tool of any sort, please create without this element. Oh and I do not mean just a score to fold your card base in half! LOL

While it is a 'lovely' month February, let's create a card that is not Valentine's themed. That being said, it is the second part of this challenge. Let's not use Valentine theme, red, pink or white colors anywhere on our cards. That includes the paper you stamp your image on....*gasp*!

For our third element, how about we place both an image and a sentiment on the front of the card.

I do believe that I met every single one of her expectations with the card I created.  I used this week's SCS sketch & everything just came right together!  Please check out the rest of the girls' work---they're listed on the left hand side of my blog.
