Words of Encouragement

My weekly card for my friend with a little humor and words of encouragement on them. 

The card design is based on the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  Of course I moved my ribbon to the other side of the panel and used the bow as the circle elements.  Sometimes you just have to be a rebel.

The stamp is one I have had for years.  It is by American Art Stamp.  I stamped it with Colorbox Chalk Ink (Dark Brown) and just colored a couple items with Copics.  I used paper from Basic Grey's 6 x 6 pad Kissing Booth - pinks and browns are always a lovely combination - love the houndstooth. 

Thanks for stopping by - I think I may indulge in some paper therapy today - it has been months.  Have a wonderful day and I hope you get to spend a little time being creative.

Another Week End Gone

Another week end is gone and of course I did not accomplish enough. I did manage to buy a new dining room set - I am excited - I think the set I have is over 30 years old - out with the old - this new set is so bright and cheery looking. It will be delivered next Saturday and on Saturday I am having my new bathroom light and new towel fixtures installed and the curtain rod hung in the bedroom - yeah - closer to getting things back to normal. I think I may need to buy a new sink fixture to match everything - have to talk to my friend the plumber about this.

I did get one card finished this week end - I do want to play a little tonight. This card is for my friend Shari who is battling breast cancer. The chemo has worked so now she can have the breast removed. I hope she will like the card and message of encouragement.

It is based on the weekly sketch at Get Sketchy. I moved the trim to the other side (my bow). I guess I added an additional layer in there with my image.
