"Two For Tuesday"

Hello friends, followers, viewers and visitors.
It's Tuesday, February 25, 2020.
It's not just any ordinary Tuesday...it's "Fat Tuesday".
Fat Tuesday, also called Pancake Day, Pancake Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday and Mardi Gras (which is French for "Fat Tuesday"), is the last day of feasting before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday.
While there are carnival festivals in many countries on Fat Tuesday, in the English-speaking world the term is particularly associated with the "Mardi Gras" carnival celebrations in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Recently the term "Mardi Gras" has evolved to refer to the whole period of festivities, not just the single day of Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday.

Today I'm sharing the card that was made yesterday and the one I made this morning:

 "FAITHFUL"

Sending you a hug and love,

"Embossing Folder + Embossing Ink = Card"

It's the middle of the week and things have been going very well on my end.  What about you?
Are there any good exciting things that have happened since Monday? 
People near Florida are bracing for another storm/hurricane.  My daughter lives in this area and each year we brace any time something is stirring up in the atmosphere that could cause structural damage and harm. With her and others in the Tampa area and seeing the news that this is the directions of this latest storm, makes my heart flutter.  I pray everyday and now I'm praying specifically that she and others will be safe. 
Embossing folders have been my go to medium during this week.  I'm back at it again today.  I've made two more cards using embossing folders as well as embossing inks.
