My card today is for the Queen for the Day on Splitcoaststampers. This challenge is posted every Friday and this person will remain Queen for the rest of the week until another one is appointed. Today it is Hilda aka Broom. I cased one of her adorable 'mouse' cards. I am still into making Christmas cards so I changed my image from a mouse (Hilda's) to a house...church house, that is. I guess my love for old churches inspired me to buy this stamp. I really love it.
I am entering my card into the 4 Crafty Chicks challenge-Use die cuts or punches

This church is located 8 miles east of Demopolis, AL. It is a Carpenter Gothic style built in 1873 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in Nov., 1973 and declared a National Landmark at the same time.

This is a beautiful card. I love the stones on the church. Gives it a great look.. Your pictures are awesome. I love old churches and barns too. Great part of our history.
Where do I begin? Love that neat old unexpected-looking church you photographed, and the Gothic cemetery also. And your card is so neat! So you like sheep, birds, birdhouses, churches, and what else?? ;)
