Paper Pretties #311 - FLOWERS / May the saddest day

Wednesday May 21, 2014

 

Well it's hump day and hope you all have had a great week so far.

 

This is Paper Pretties #311 challenge with the theme FLOWERS

 

I chose to use an Irish blessing and love the thought of this saying. I had to read it a couple of times to get the jest of it (that's just me, thick skull) but I like that thought.

I embellished it with flowers to stay with the theme. I now there are digi's with flowers in them but I liked that I could just use the sentiment and embellish instead. I like that this card can be to encourage someone, a birthday card, just a friendship card. The sentiment can be used for different occasions.

I hope you play along and you could win some awesome digi's.

Unscripted Sketches #256 / Near the sea

Saturday May 10, 2014

(second posting for today)

First off Happy Mothers day to all of you that are blessed to be a mom, that special someone in your loved ones lives. Hope your day is blessed.

 

Today we have a new sketch from Unscripted Sketches #256

You know that you can turn the sketch as I did and make a card, scrapbook page, some project that kind of follows the sketch. Just have fun.

 

 This is the card I made using the sketch. Last weekend I went to a ladies church retreat at Seaside Oregon and had a wonderful time. We had some free time during the day Saturday so my dear crafting / BF went shopping to this craft store we always go to when we go to retreat. I got this great seabird. I knew I had to use it. So I die cut the bird, found a lovely sentiment that I received from my oldest BF that passed away some years ago. She loved the sea and it was perfect. I did not have a seabird foot so I drew one.. sorry for the funky look. I added some sea grass that I just clear embossed to give the hint of grass. I hope I inspire you to play along and post your card at Unscripted Sketches.
