And here is our theme:

Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
and let his banner over me be love.

I made it for a friend of mine from church that is facing surgery soon as well as having some other difficulties with sick close family members.  I am also going to enter this card in Word Art Wednesday Challenge #156.

 

Over on Colorful Creations it is a sketch/mood board combo.

The Mood board:

 

As I am on Team B I have not yet created with that as I will be working with the next sketch and Mood Board on the 15th.  But I may decide to play along anyway ... why don't you do the same?

 

I hope that you have enjoyed checking out all the new challenges and will now go and play some of them!
