Wow! Can you believe that 2009 is almost here? I remember when I was a kid, hearing my mom (and other adults) say "time goes by faster and faster....each year". I thought they were crazy! Time couldn't have gone any slower for me...(this from the perspective of a kid...LOL!). Now that I'm older and have kids of my own, I find myself saying the very same thing!! LOL!
Here's a little encouragement card that I made last night. I was determined to use this paper (from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie collection). There is something so comforting about it...it actually reminds me of an old but loved quilt!
I stamped the small flower from Stampin' Up!'s Bella Blossoms set (I inked it in Certainly Celery and sponged some Taken with Teal around the edges) on to some Pearlized White c.s.. I then embossed the Proverbs 3:5 Plain Jane stamp (from Verve Stamps) over the flower. I stitched around the edges of the patterned paper (in keeping with the loved quilt feel), and added a button for embellishment. Over all, a pretty quick and easy card!
We are headed out of town for the night, but I have some really fun stuff to share when we get back! **wink** I hope your day is a blessed one! ~Laurie
