I made this card for the challenge over at
Mojo Monday blog. I have to admit I stepped out of my comfort zone as I don't usually mix pattern papers even if they are of the same color and design, but I am glad I did and am happy on how it turned out. I cannot believe I had this paper in my "Stash" (you know we all have one where we want to save it forever-LOL!!!) and decided I better use it before it was no longer wanted or began to fade. I keep telling myself I need to use the paper from the special stash bin, but you know I never do. So now I have it sitting to the right of me to make me go through the bin before I look elsewhere. Of course my daughter when she visits always seems to find the exact paper from the hidden stash, but that's okay as that is what mother's are for right?
Supplies: Verve Stamps Plain Janes and Beautiful You; Paper Bazill and Basic Gray; Ink-Stazon Timber Brown; Brads and Buttons-memory Makers.
Today is a day of emotions and sadness, a very dear good friend of mine lost her mother to cancer on Friday, she had been battling it for quite sometime and we all know she is in a better place where there is no longer any pain. But no matter how much we try to prepare for it, it still hurts deeply when death finally succeeds. I understand what she is going through as my mother has been gone for 17 years and today it just opened up the flood of emotions of missing her after receiving the message that Steph's mom had passed. I have had some cards made for quite sometime and just have not posted them and felt today would be a good day as my creativeness is not here as all I can do is think about Steph. This card was suupose o be submitted for a Verve Challenge, but I was not real pleased with it so I didn't place it in the Mojo Monday Challege. But it could be used for "Just A Because" card or encouragement as well. Anyway thanks for looking and vsiting my blog today.
