Perfect Sentiments ~ The Robin Sings

Welcome back to another week of challenge over at the Perfect Sentiments blog! This weeks challenge is a "Round Robin Die Cut Week." Each person on the design team sent another team member some of their own special die cuts to incorporate into their card this week. How amazing that I received a die cut of a bird and its cage from Abby! (get it?? "round robin"..."bird and bird cage"??) I find this incredibly coincidental and wonderful all at the same time!!   Abby sent me some pretty amazing die cuts to choose from. It's obvious that she's a Tim Holtz fan, as many of the items she sent me come from his line of products which I hope to purchase more of in the future! But for now....Abby FULL STORY HERE.......

Get Well in White

Welcome back to this weeks Perfect Sentiments challenge! This weeks challenge is to create a card with a "get well" sentiment. The "twist" is to use the inspiration picture which we'll take a look at in just a moment.   For my card this week I wanted to keep it simple with color but magnificent with its texture and one color as a focal point. I like creating get well cards because I know that they will be sent to someone as a means of encouragement so it's got to be something that will bring a smile to the heart.  This card size is unique for me as I'm accustomed to regular A2 cards or squared cards. I really love the look of an all white card that FULL STORY HERE....... Read more

Meeting God On Your Knees….

Ever notice how different phases of your life bring different levels of happiness, as well as different levels of struggles? Some days/weeks/months/years we sail through life, everything going as we anticipated it would and we feel totally blessed from all the goodness around us.   Then there are those "other times"....I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.... Within a matter of days/weeks/months/years, life throws some major struggles your way and they seem to be hitting you at rapid speed one right after the other. Maybe you have a period of time where things are tough financially, followed by a relationship struggle, followed by the passing of a loved one or friend, followed FULL STORY HERE....... Read more

Each Time I Miss You…..

I don't know of many other feelings of the heart which affect a person as deeply as missing someone who is special to them. As I have "matured", I have also become more emotional about things that involve people whom I love and care about.....At times I just can't close the flood gates.....I've just got to shed some tears!!! Right now I miss several very special people in my life and just thinking about them Read more
