BELIEVE!

Today I have a quick post of a card I created last night for a friend of mine that is dealing with some tough issues and is currently in the hospital.

I started with sketch #114 over at Feeling Sketchy.

 

I had this great pack of 5x7 Kraft card bases so I started there and chose some papers that I thought would go well with that.  When I decided to choose my sentiment I realized that the card had a nice masculine feel to it and would be perfect for my friend so then I went in search of my sentiment.

 

Here is the card -

 

 

I thought these epoxies would be great for my sentiments.  I looked at the sketch again and realized they had a bow so I began searching my ribbon when out of my stash flew this cute little white feather.  I felt this would make a cute accent instead of the bow.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by again to see my latest creations.  I plan to work on something when I get home tonight (at least that is the plan...LOL!) as I have another get well card to send and an over abundance of photos to be scrapped.

A BIT MORE OF CHRISTMAS!

Today I am sharing another Christmas layout with you using Soul Scrappers Sketch challenge SC87. I have decided that I want to get as much of this Christmas scrapped as possible since I have not done all of the last several Christmas'.

Here is the sketch:

 

I love being able to share all the little accents I've

added to my page...

 

Here is a large brad that actually has tiny little stones

as lights on the tree. 

This was the title that was already printed on the page

that was just perfect for the photo I chose.

Here's a tag with some great cording I used through the hole.

  I wanted to loop it but it is thick and stiff and it ripped

 through the tag.  I had put an eyelet in the hole

but it pulled it right through!

 

I thought this little chipboard accent was perfect as the photo was taken on Christmas Eve.  When I put it on the printed paper it got lost and I wanted you to be able to read it so matting it on white helped with that but then it got lost on the paper so I matted it on the same cardstock I had used for the backing of the page.

And finally!  The finished project!

I was not very happy with the way the photo shop printed the photo as it was a bit grainy even in this standard 4x6 size so I am hoping that I can get a better quality reprint at a different shop soon and replace it!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope that you will take this time to stop by Soul Scrappers and have a shot at the sketch too or at another of the many fun challenges we offer!
