Crafty Friends and CASe This Sketch

  • by

The February Simon Says Card kit arrived on Thursday. Thanks to the fourth cancellation of a volunteer commitment in one week, I had time to play again. By bedtime, I had created three cards. I’m waiting until today to post the first of them, in hopes it has reached its recipient. Since it’s for a sketch challenge I need to get it posted.

When I first saw this design at CASe This Sketch it appeared too challenging, but once I laid eyes on the design team’s creations I decided I give it a try.

CTS_256

Initially I thought I’d use some patterned paper for the background, but once I die cut and stamped the seven pieces, I realized it would be far too busy. I am a fan of white on white and with the bright colors I think it works. I did move the sentiment to the left-hand corner where it fit perfectly.

Colorful

I added a few matte enamel dots as a finishing touch. It’s a fun stamp set, and perfect for sending off to some crafty friends of mine. Here's a closer look.

This is such an unusual design, and the DT for this challenge came up with some brilliant ideas. You can check them out right here.

 

 

The Card Concept: Rustic Blooms

  • by

I'm back with a card for another challenge—this time The Card Concept: Rustic Blooms.

TCC85 0124

These beautiful pink flowers reminded me of the Simon Says "Floral Bliss" bouquet I used not long ago. This time I watercolored the whole image in pinks and reds.

PinkThoughts

When I finished, I decided to add a few dark pink splatters. I've been known to ruin an entire card trying this technique, but this time I pulled it off. I die cut the Tim Holtz watercolor panel with Simon Says "Stitched Rectangle," and adhered it to a Raspberry Fizz card (PTI).

PinkThoughtsFlat

The sentiment is from Papertrey's "It's the Thought." Finally, a few white pearls finished it off.

One of the challenges in entering a card at The Card Concept is deciding which category the card falls in. Nine out of ten times my cards usually land in the "Clean and Simple" category. Not so much this time. I'm guessing the best bet is "Classy and Elegant." If you have time to check them out, I'd love to know how you'd categorize this one. 

Celebrate! A Time Out Challenge

  • by

The current challenge at Time Out uses this quote:

Timeout gift quote

It's one of my favorite quotes, and the perfect inspiration for a birthday card I needed to make for one of my favorite young ladies who will soon be 16. I've used the "Celebrate It" for my inspiration.

I've had this stunning image from Concord and 9th ("Happy Day") for a long time, but this is the first time I've used it. I stamped it in black on Tim Holtz watercolor card and got out my Daniel Smith watercolors. 

NadiaFlat

I have an iridescent silver which I mixed with the bright pink which gives it a pretty glimmer. I added some Glitter Glue to the frosting as well.

NadiaClose1

I die cut the image with one of the Simon Says "Stitched Rectangles" and mounted it on a piece of sparkly textured cardstock I found in my stash. (I have no idea where it came from!) The final touch was to add a few sequins. We're going to be out of town for the birthday party, but I'm leaving the card with her mom. I hope she likes it.

You'll find other celebratory cards right here at the Time Out Challenges blog.

 

Janurary 2018 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop (And Make It Monday)

  • by

Very unusual, but this is the second post of the day because today is the monthly blog hop hosted by Papertrey Ink. I wasn't sure I'd find the time to participate, but then a meeting I had yesterday had to be rescheduled, and the afternoon opened up. I have two cards to share. Only one can be posted for the blog hop, but the other I'll post for the Make It Monday challenge which was to create a shadow sentiment. Both cards started, however, with the gorgeous inspiration piece posted for the blog hop.

PTIIce-Cream-Social-Birthday-Party

For the first card, I focused on the pink floral arrangements on the table. I was also influenced by the design Lizzie Jones used on her card for Make It Monday.

Gran'sGarden

I chose "Gran's Garden" for the card. It's a stamp set I don't use often enough. The frame for the sentiment is an old favorite, "Fillable Frames 10," and the sentiment is from another favorite and well-used set "Birthday Bash Sentiments.:

Gran'sGardenClose

Here you can see the shadow sentiment. I tried a variety of things before I settled on second generation stamping to create the shadow. If you're unfamiliar with that term it means I stamped the original sentiment, then moved the stamp just a bit, and stamped it again without cleaning off the stamp. You can also see the embossed background created with the Papertrey Ink "Rustic Burlap" Impression Plate.

I thought this would be the only card I created, and that I would post it on both challenges, but still having some time to play, I pulled out a stamp set I purchased on a whim. It's a $5 set meant to work with a larger set of paper doll kinds of stamps called "Dress Up Dolls: Birthday." I thought the images would go well with a variety of animal stamp sets I use when creating cards for my grandchildren. The new technique for me was to create a background of randomly stamped images. I've seen a variety of these recently, most often on Yana Smakula's blog.

She suggested that solid images would work best for this technique, but I'm pretty happy with the way the outline images worked here. It makes for a bit cleaner look, which I always like. Rather than a large center-stage sentiment, I opted to die cut the balloons from the set for the focal image.

PartyBalloons

I did take Yana's suggestion to assign each stamp a given color which I took from the inspiration photo, as well as the birthday party theme shown in the inspiration piece. Since there were so many tiny images I laid out the stamps on the ink pads I used. I took the photo after dark with my iPhone, but thought I'd share it.

InkPads

I chose four Copic markers to color the balloons, but decided they needed a coating of Glitter Glue as well. Glitter Glue always darkens the colors so the darker pink ended up looking more red that I would have liked. I mounted the balloons with dimensional adhesive, and finally decided to add a sentiment to the focal image. It came from the "Initial Sentiments: Birthday" set.

PartyBalloonsClose

It's a bit easier to see the glitter here as well as the glitter added to the sentiment banner with a Spectrum Noir clear glitter pen. 

So I'll post the top card to the Make It Monday challenge, and this one to today's blog hop. It was a lot of fun to try a couple new techniques, and I was delighted to have an afternoon to play! 

 

Take Three Thursday: Sledding

  • by

I'm joining in again with Mary-Lou's Take Three Thursday meme:

In an effort to notice more of the ordinary in my life, I have decided to share what I have noticed this week in Take Three Thursday.   The idea is to take photos that are linked some how; by theme, by colour, by date, by moment,  by points of view. 

We had a couple beautiful sunny days over the weekend. It wasn't warm enough for serious snow melt, but definitely warm enough for sledding. Colgate Divinity School sits atop a hill at the end of our street. It has the perfect hill for sledding, steep enough to get good speed, but a long flat yard at the bottom to avoid any disasters. Matt brought Skyar (6) and  Ella (3) up for an hour or two of sledding, and I walked down to join them. I didn't have any intention of sledding myself, but they were having so much fun, I ended up going down with Skylar before I walked home. Sadly (or luckily), Matt didn't manage to get a photo of the two of us going down the hill.

They brought three sleds–two plastic ones, and one large inflatable one. Here's Skylar ready to take off down the hill.

IMG_7808ed

And much to our surprise, Ella wanted to go down on her own. She loved it!

IMG_7804ed

Somehow I never ended up with a photo of the two of them going down the hill on the big inflatable sled. Coming up the hill is the hardest part. Ella managed a couple of times with Skylar's help, but finally needed Dad to help her out.

IMG_7812ed

Matt and Sarah spent time sliding down this hill when they were kids. It's fun to watch the next generation enjoying it as well!

Winter Cards

  • by

I needed two cards—one for a young lady (18) who had just had a heart transplant (very successful, thankfully) and another for a winter birthday. I thought I'd pull out a new die (MFT's "Solid Birch Trees") and a new stamp (PTI's "Background Basics: Birch"). It's a perfect combination for a winter-themed card.

BirchX2

I die cut the trees from white cardstock and stamped them with the background stamp in Soft Stone. The little red bird is an older die from Memory Box, "Goldfinch." Finding the right sentiments took the longest time. I originally thought I'd stamp a message on the right side of the card, but ended up liking these two Papertrey Ink dies from "Swoosh" better which I die cut from True Black.

BirchbarkHello 

The last touch was to had a tiny drop of black Nuvo Crystak Drops for the eye of the bird. It's nice when a design works well for two such different occasions. 

 

 

 

The Flower Challenge: Spotlight Stamping

  • by

The Flower Challenge is new to me, and so is the current challenge: spotlight stamping where you selectively color just part of an image. I needed an encouragement card, and thought this would be a good time to try it out.

TFChallenge#16

I chose one of my favorite stamp sets from the Simon Says Card Kits. "Floral Bliss" from the June 2017 kit has such a gorgeous floral bouquet. I stamped it with India Ink Black on Tim Holtz watercolor paper and got out my Inktense watercolor pencils.

SelectiveColoring2

The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's "It's the Thought." I chose to color the three main flowers and the two sprays above in pinks with orange accents. I thought a bit more orange was in order so I color just the centers of the daisies.  The final touch was to add three black pearls by Amuse.

SelectiveColoringFlat

I'm quite sure I wouldn't have give this technique any thought without the challenge, but I'm quite happy with it in the end. Check out how others approached the challenge right here. 

 

Time Out Challenge: Thankful

  • by

I've had more than the usual amount of time to create this weekend. The photos at the end of the post will explain it pretty well. Along with some birthday cards and Valentines which I can't post for awhile, I have a set of thank you cards to enter at the Time Out Challenge: Thankful. It's their 100th challenge which is quite an accomplishment.

Thankful

I pulled out two oldies—Papertrey's "Brushed Off" and Winnie and Walter's "The Big, The Bold, and You." Just by changing the colors of the ink I came up with three quite different feeling cards. I used Hero Art's Ombre pads, which I do have a bit of trouble with. Some look a lot more ombre than others.

3Thanks

I did add a strip of washi tape down the side of one of the cards.

ThanksBlue

ThanksOrange

ThanksPink

On Friday, our temperature reached 50°. We'd seen warmer temps on Thursday as well, and almost all the snow had melted by the end of the day on Friday.

IMG_7763ed

About 8:00 Friday night, the snow began and didn't let up until mid-day on Saturday. Tracy was down and out with some kind of bug, so Matt came over in the afternoon to snow plow our driveway and sidewalks. He took a yardstick and measured 13 1/2 inches in our front yard.

IMG_7773ed

Needless to say, I was home for the day—and most of today as well. Hope it's warmer and less snowy where you are! Off to check out the inspiration at Time Out Challenges.

 

Take Three Thursday

  • by

Unexpectedly, I'm joining in with Mary-Lou this week for her Take Three Thursdays. Here's Mary-Lou's explanation of her weekly meme:

In an effort to notice more of the ordinary in my life, I have decided to share what I have noticed this week in Take Three Thursday.   The idea is to take photos that are linked some how; by theme, by colour, by date, by moment,  by points of view. 

When I read Mary-Lou's post this morning, I didn't think I had any photos that fit the meme. But it is SO nice today (over 40° warmer than it's been recently) that I decided to take a walk. I had to walk in the street most of the way because the sidewalks are still covered with icy patches, deep puddles, and some crusty snow. The first thing that caught my eye was the reflection in this puddle:

IMG_7759ed

And then these branches caught my eye:

IMG_7761ed

And finally another reflection:

IMG_7762ed

Sadly this warm weather is not supposed to last. Another storm and cold front is headed our way. I hope it's not too bad because we have plans every night from today through Sunday.

One Little Word 2018

  • by

It takes me a long time to think about and choose a word to accompany me during the new year. This year, my word “appeared” in November and the more I thought and wrote about it, the more it seemed like a good fit. One thing I wanted from this year’s One Little Word was that it would incorporate the last three OLWs that have provided good guidance, and in some cases, been transformative. They are SIMPLIFY (2014 & 2015), MINDFUL (2016) and CHOOSE JOY/GRATITUDE (2017). This year’s word . . .

Nourish-text-goldleaf copy

. . . seems to meet that criteria.

This definition captures what I hope NOURISH will do during 2018: “to cause to develop or grow stronger; to foster the development of; promote; to support and encourage. As I thought about “nourish” and how it might guide me, I divided my intentions into three areas:

Mind

  • Morning reading time
  • Sketching
  • Classes: Sketching Now: Watercolor, Linda.com: Lightroom 6, Holstee*, Craftsy
  • Improve photography: work on the photographic journal (a Christmas gift), CY365
  • Continue to declutter and purge
  • Create two travel photo books (for some reason this continues to be an intellectual and creative challenge!)

 Body

  • Healthy diet: focus on anti-inflammatory/whole foods
  • Regular exercise routine (3/week minimum) & daily stretching
  • Rest; maintaining a balanced schedule

Soul

  • Every day, find a way to give something to someone: thanks to God, lend a helping hand, thank someone for kindness, give $5 to the needy, give a compliment
  • Quality time with family and friends
  • Spiritual direction
  • Daily prayer/meditation practice
  • Daily journaling/Morning and Evening Reflections
  • Volunteering
  • Contemplative Photography
  • Catch up with Project Life
  • Card Making

I think it’s easy to see how NOURISH incorporates the concepts of simplifying, becoming more mindful, and expressing gratitude. I know there will be days when the daily meditation and journaling will fall by the wayside. But I do believe that by having them written down as an intention, they are much more likely to happen.

*I've joined Holstee this year. If you look through the site you'll see that they have a series of themes–one for each month. I've used their journals on reflection and intention already and find them very helpful. Before I joined, I subscribed to their daily reflections. It didn't take long for me to appreciate the wisdom being delivered to my inbox every morning. I can also highly recommend Jessica Swift's 100 Uplifting Days. I'm on Day 99, and I will miss them! I can't tell you how often during the last 99 days just the right message showed up in my email with a piece of beautiful mixed media art and an inspiring quote.

I found the graphic for nourish on the internet and there was no attribution attached to it. It's such a perfect fit!

Reflections on “Choose Joy” and 2017

  • by

ChooseJoy4X6

It’s always interesting to look back at the intentions I set at the beginning of a year, and reflect on how I did with them. Last year’s word(s) was “Choose Joy” with the emphasis on gratitude. I’ll have more to say about that when I post my 2018 One Little Word tomorrow.

In general, “Choose Joy” was a good choice, particularly in a year fraught with so much national conflict, division, and violence. In the face of the daily news, it was good to “choose joy,” leaning in to all the things for which I am so grateful and blessed.

So here are my 2017 intentions with a brief summary of how I did

  1. Keep one weekday free of obligations. With few exceptions, I kept Wednesdays free of commitments. When I did put something on the calendar for Wednesday it was a social engagement or an unavoidable meeting. My membership on a variety of committees means I have to be flexible with other members commitments as well.
  2. Maintain morning reading time: 1 hour book; 1 hour blogs. Totally kept this one. If I had an early morning appointment, I made sure to find time later in the day to read. It paid off as I read more books this year than I’ve ever read: 54. You can find the list here. Note that I only use 3-5 stars to rate my books. If it’s less than 3 stars, I’ll abandon it by page 50.
  3. Continue volunteer commitments: RHR, Spiritual Formation, Dining Room Ministry, Rochester Area Interfaith Hospitality Network, SW Food Cupboard Board, Cameron Community Ministries, Church Leadership Development Day.  Kept this one, too. At one point when I thought I could use some more time at home, I looked at this list, and recognized that each one of these was really important to me. Only two of them are weekly commitments. I volunteer at Refugees Helping Refugees one or two days/week depending on their class schedule, and two afternoons/week during the after-school program at Cameron. Most of the rest are monthly commitments.
  4. Sketch: 3/week Didn’t do as well here, but my one accomplishment in this area was completing the 100 Day Project. I did 100 sketches, and filled 1 1/3 sketchbooks.
  5. Photography:
    1. CY365
    2. Contemplative Photography practice: read Adventures in Seeing, Photography and the Art of Seeing
    3. Five in Five meme monthly                   
      This was a mixed bag. I completed two online classes with Kim Manley Ort on contemplative photography, and attended a weekend workshop with her in Niagara-on-the-Lake. I kept up with CY365, and completed 11/12 Five in Five memes. I didn’t finish reading either book.
  6. Blogging Schedule: Monday Memo, Wednesday cards (challenges), Friday contemplations. I never had a blogging schedule. If I had something to post and/or time to write a post, it went up. I was more consistent at the beginning of the year than I was at the end.
  7. Make time for creativity: minimum 3 hours/week I didn’t keep track of the time I spent, but I’m pretty sure I came close to meeting this one.
  8. Choose one challenge and participate regularly (CASology?) Didn’t happen, although I did participate in different challenges pretty regularly.
  9. Exercise: walk, yoga, weights: 3/week Like blogging this was inconsistent. I do well, then fall off the wagon, and hop back on again.
  10. One book/month from the following list. This is one of the most interesting ones to me. I didn’t include the list here because, frankly, I only read 7 of the 18 books I listed. For next year, I also have a list but it’s titled “List of Books to Consider.” I know now that as I listen to podcasts, read books, talk to friends, and read book reviews that books I’ve never considered will rise to the top of the list. Ten of the best books I read in 2017 weren’t on my original list.

I’ll be back tomorrow, I hope, with my One Little Word for 2018. I “found” it in November and think it will serve me well.

Chicago Celebrations

  • by

As always, we packed up right after Christmas and headed to Chicago. After Erie, PA received nearly 60 inches of snow, we decided to take the route through Canada. We had generally clear roads, and sunny skies for most of the trip, but had a two hour wait to cross the border when we reached Michigan. I guess we weren’t the only ones trying to avoid the mess in Erie.

IMG_7607ed

By the time we got there, both kids were in the pajamas, but Caleb was eager to open gifts.

PC270447ed

I had a hard time this visit, capturing good photos of Hannah who is now walking, but here’s one of her with her dad. She has a variety of these little animal pacifiers which she loves.

PC270450ed

We not only celebrated Christmas, but on the 30th we celebrated Hannah’s first birthday, and Caleb’s sixth birthday. The night before we blew up about 100 balloons and tossed them into Caleb’s room. Much to my surprise, he slept through it all.

IMG_7636ed

When he woke up in the morning, he found one package on the dining room table, and a clue for the next. One clue required popping balloons until he found the six with the words to the next clue. It extended the birthday celebration through most of the morning.

One of our gifts to Hannah, was a water table. Even without water, it proved to be a popular gift with both kids.

IMG_7647ed

Adam has made a poster to commemorate Caleb’s birthday every year since he turned two. Caleb remembers every one of them, reminding his dad the night before of the images he’d drawn on last year’s poster. Here are this year’s. Caleb received quite a wonderful camera for Christmas, and was eagerly taking photos of everything he could.

IMG_7641ed

And Hannah’s for her nickname “Hannah the Banana”—who knows where that came from?

IMG_7645ed

IMG_7667ed

IMG_7671ed

IMG_7692ed

 

Sharing your birthday with a one-year-old isn't too bad. I think it might become a bit more challenging as Hannah gets older and has some opinions about how things get done. And one last photo of Adam, Sarah, and Caleb at dinner one night—one of my faves from the trip.

IMG_7622ed

Thanks to Laura Bassen, Caleb got one of my more involved birthday cards. I pinned it as soon as I saw it on Laura’s blog, and recreating it wasn’t as difficult as I expected. It opened and closed perfectly at home, but required a bit of adjusting once it was opened in Chicago. Looks great, though, in his bedroom which is decorated with a space theme.

CalebBD

The card required just two sets of dies: "Space Journey," and "You're a Star," both from Simon Says as well as some Dark Indigo cardstock and a bunch of scraps (all Papertrey Ink.)

I’ve learned the hard way, not to give toddlers a shaker card. Ella took hers apart the minute she opened it on her second birthday. But I figured I’d go for it for the first birthday since Hannah was unlikely to want to play with it. I found a shaker kit I purchased quite awhile ago which made it easier to assemble, and frankly, quite a bit sturdier as well.

HannahBD

I've had the Mama Elephant "Carnival Cupcakes" stamp set for quite a few years. The little bunny and the cupcake both come from that set. I colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them, adding some Distress Glitter to one layer of the cupcake. The sentiment is from Papertrey's "Birthday Bash" set–also an oldie. The balloon and strings are dies from Papertrey and the number one is from the "Typewriter Numbers" by Memory Box. I added a few Nuevo glitter drops as a final embellishment. 

HannahBDcloses

That wraps up December! Now on to finishing up my reflections on 2017, and putting the final touches on the One Little Word for 2018. I'm pretty sure the number of blog posts in January will double (triple?) the number in December. 

 

 

December Highlights

  • by

Between the holidays and traveling, my blogging took a rather unexpected hiatus. It wasn’t intentional, but I have a few events to record here after the fact. Because the Christmas in Chicago also included two birthdays, I’ll save that for the next post.

The George Eastman Museum hosts an evening with Santa each year, and for the third year in a row, we’ve taken the girls. This year we missed seeing Santa come down the grand staircase (no fault of our own), but we still had a good time. None of the girls is quite sure about an individual chat with Santa so we forego the long line, but Ella expressed an interest as we were leaving, so next year may be the year Grandma hops in line to save their places.

Skylar has enjoyed the Gingerbread House Scavenger Hunt for both of the last two years.

DSC05472ed

My favorite gingerbread house this year was fashioned after a real home in Canandaigua, New York. The facsimile was remarkable close to the photograph that accompanied it.

IMG_7399ed

Upstairs in the Discovery Room, there are always fun things to explore.

DSC05491ed

And although, they’re reluctant to visit Santa themselves, both Skylar and Ella enjoy watching Santa talking with other children. This year Skylar had a list for Santa, and the kind volunteer took her list and put it in Santa’s bag for her.

TracySkylar

The following weekend, we went to Buffalo with friends to visit the Teddy Roosevelt Inaugural Site, followed by a visit to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. It was a wonderful visit and we really enjoyed the current exhibit: “Out of Sight! Art of the Senses.” You can see a video on the website here of some of the interactive installations. We had tea in the tea room, listened to music, and had a particularly good time in the room of mirrors. We were lucky that the museum was not crowded the day we visited. Here are some of my favorite photos from the art gallery:

The room of mirrors; love the second one. I had no idea what I'd captured until I uploaded it!

We celebrate Christmas three times; twice in Rocheter and once in Chicago. First with Matt, Betsy, and the girls. Although they come for the early part of the Walker Christmas on Christmas Day, the event is too late for the three little girls. This year, Betsy’s family joined us. Karen, her sister, arrived from Boston just in time, and Pam, Nadia, and Betsy’s dad also joined us. These photos are courtesy of Pam, who records every family event faithfully.

Christmas Day is always fun with the Walker crowd. Here are a few faves from that gathering. The first two photos were taken by Skylar who wanted to try out my camera. She captured the only one of me for the day, and one of her dad with his Uncle Greg.

Five in Five on the 5th

  • by

Last night I thought I'd type up this post using some photos we took at the Albright-Knox Museum last month, and then realized that they were not taken within five minutes. When I woke up this morning, I immediately saw the beautiful patterns the ice had made on some of our windows, so decided to take five photos from five different windows. It was 0° when we woke up, with a wind chill of -20°.  Last night, all the county schools closed for today in anticipation of unsafe wind chill numbers. The high is only forecasted to be 4°.

When we arrived home from Chicago on Wednesday night, our furnace was not working. We know it was working earlier in the day because we can change the thermostat from afar, and did so before we left Chicago. It wasn't nearly as cold that night (22°), and the house was still a little warm, but by 10:00 when the repairman appeared, the house was getting really cold. We needed a new motor, and fortunately, there was one in the truck! We still need another repair, one that will require the furnace to be off for six hours. It's scheduled for tomorrow, but Tracy is calling to reschedule for the middle of the week when it's supposed to be in the high 30's. This cold snap will last through tomorrow night. 

All these photos were taken about 7:00 this morning with my iPhone.

Window4

Window5

The last photo was taken from one of our kitchen windows. They are new windows, and better insulated so they don't frost up often. Nonetheless, while I was having breakfast sitting near them, it was much colder than in the living room! You can see that we've had a bit of snow, and if you look closely, you can see the red ribbon from the evergreen ball blowing in the wind. I'm intending to stick close to home today despite the fact that I badly need a workout at the gym.

I'm joining in with Sandie for her monthly 5 in 5. Yesterday I discovered that I never did a 5 in 5 in December, but managed every other month last year. Hope to be here every month this year.

Fusion Card Challenge: Mail Call

  • by

I'm excited to be the guest of Michelle Leon for the first Fusion Card Challenge of 2018: Mail Call. The inspiration piece at Fusion always has two parts:  a photograph and a sketch. You can opt to use one or both. The Design Team has lots of inspiration for you right here. Each designer has invited a friend as a guest so there's twice the inspiration this time around. Be sure to check it out!

Fusion Challenge for January

I decided to use both the photograph and the sketch. Looking at the photo, I took three elements:  the wooden boards, the color combination of turquoise, gray, and white and the keys.

Key

I scored the gray portion of the card to represent the gray boards in the photograph, and added two shades of turquoise to the right side of the card following the sketch. The key (Papertrey Ink "Lock and Key") was die cut three times from silver paper and layered for another bit of dimension. I didn't have any stamped sentiments that worked well, so went to my digital files and found this circle. It was filed without any reference to the designer. I resized it, added two words to the center to create a sentiment with the key filling in for the last "word," and die cut it with Simon Says "Stitched Circles." Finally I adhered the focal piece to a white card base, and then decided to add the three silver hearts that fell out of the key die.
