OWH Our Daily Bread Design for January

I still haven't figured out how to edit my blog, how to input a decent photo, how to edit things to make sense but.....I wanted to link my card for the Our Daily Bread Design for OWH. This challenge is to use stripes.

I co-teach a daily bible study class for teens. One of those young men suffered the loss of his father on Christmas Day. It was a sudden loss with no prep that may have made it a bit easier, although losing your father as a teenage boy on Christmas Day to death is not ever going to be easy. That said we start class again tomorrow and I thought of bringing one card for all to sign but decided a bunch of cards would be better. I decided on simple cards with no embellishment. Several used striped paper. I chose the stripes because they are masculine and they would help meet the ODBD challenge to pay for shipment of 2 boxes of cards for the troops. So, here it is, simple but with love to a young man who suffered a horrible loss. I'm significantly older than a teenager but still have both my parents and am so grateful for that.

Sorry for all the mess in the background. Like I said, I still don't know how to edit photos etc.
