As I told you the other day, playing with paper and stuff, making pretty cards from bits and pieces of things, makes me happy! It just does! Even when I'm making a card for a less than happy occasion! I was taking inventory of the cards I have made and realized I had precious few cards for occasions that aren't happy. You know, sympathy, praying for you, etc. So I used this week's
Unscripted Sketches sketch for this week and made it into a card that could cover a variety of 'less than happy' occasions. Here is the sketch . . .
And here is my take on the sketch. As you can see, I moved the image from bottom to top and dropped the sentiment down a bit, just to make everything fit. . .
Product Info:
- All card stock is Die Cuts With a View
- Patterned paper is Prima Marketing Flights of Fancy Collection "blooming happiness", reverse side
- Gems are Prima e Line
- Image is from clip art software

This lovely hydrangea image is one of my favorite, and I've used it on everything from cards to altered notebooks. It fits so many different occasions! I hope you have enjoyed your visit, and please come back soon to see what is going on at Camellia Cottage. Blessings to you! Becky
