The book of James has taught us that "every good and perfect gift is from above" and that's so much of how I think of all of you :) I'm truly blessed to know such amazingly wonderful people online! I wish I could report that I was feeling better but whatever this horrid cold/flu like symtoms/fatigue that I caught needs to just find somewhere else to be! But with my son being so active, the girls in school functions and performances and projects/exams keeping them up til the wee hours of the night ... so does mommy! Can I get an AMEN on all those that know what I'm talking about :)
So for today, I have another mostly simple card for the mini-challenge that I gave out in the COF thread! I threw down the gauntlet this week to create a card based on this photo inspiration! I asked the girls to use any shades of green, purple and/or yellow and include a flower ..... I, alas, have a big old clover but have some flowers on my dsp! *grin!*
I went with slightly different shades of purple and green that this photo - I used Kiwi Kiss (LOOOOOOVE!) and Lavendar Lace (not so loooooove! ;) and the adorable MFT a` la mode wishing you luck. I figeted around with this card so much I eventually lost sight of what my original idea was!
::: Note to self - go find some sketch challenges and play along! :::
Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!

OK, foot is tapping again you, get back into bed with a good book and rest :) Feel better soon sweetie. Your card is so soft and pretty, loving the light touch.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are still feeling sickly! Hard to take time to heal when you are sooo busy. Kiwi Kiss is the bestest! I like how you used several different papers!

Wonderful card, and the design paper matches the image so perfect.
ReplyDeleteDo hope you feel better soon.
I know exactly what you mean and I can't believe you made that beautiful card while not feeling well. When I'm sick I manage to feed my family and keep them in clean clothes and taxi them to all of their activities but I'll be danged if I'm going to be crafty as well. You're a superhero!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so beautiful. Love that dp that you used, and your coloring of your image is amazing. Great layout!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Kelly! I love what you took from the pic! Great challenge :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I just love the MFT stamps, (still need to get some for myself...I wish they sold digis) They always bring a smile to my face, as do you, my friend. Your faith is enouraging. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Kelly. I love those MFT long legs girls!!!. Great colours too. I'm so glad you are back in business here!!!. I've missed you. God bless you and your family!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a slightly different feel from your usual cards, and I love it also!! Such pretty colors and the DP seems to match the image perfectly. Love everything about it.
ReplyDeleteNow, don't forget to take good care of yourself also, ok>>

You are not alone in losing sight of your original idea when card making Kelly. But I love your end result. Your card is so pretty especially with the beautiful BG Papers. This was one of my favorite collections. I hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card. The soft colours you have worked with are lovely.
ReplyDeleteKelly, your card is just so pretty. I love the sentiment and it is so true about friends. I hope you are feeling better and an "Amen" to what Mom's do even when not feeling well. Been there, done that so can sympathize. Take care
ReplyDeleteYou are a hero! Being sick and still trying to focus on those mommy duties. Your a great mommy. Hope you have a blessed and healthy Mothers Day. I love the beautiful card you created. TFS
ReplyDeleteFor losing your way on making this card, you found a dang good path! The colors are soft and go well with how you colored the image.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
Very PRETTY Kelly!!~
ReplyDeleteA terrific card just perfect for a dear friend!
ReplyDeleteHoney, I'm in the same boat. AMEN!
ReplyDeleteAfter last week...Well lets just say I crawled in a hole and stayed there for a few days. Having two teenagers (girls), a birthday (mine), and way to many school projects, not to mention a whole lote of "teenage attitude", I was DONE!
By the way...LOVE your MFT's card. Kelly, your work is SUPER!
Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteYou are a super Mom! I do hope you are feeling better and your card is fabulous despite being under the weather. Just love the sentiment and layout.
I hope you are feeling much better by the time you read this! Your card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Great image and such sweet colors!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the soft colors and your image is so sweet. How perfect is that sentiment! I have the same feelings about lavendar lace, not my favorite purple...
ReplyDeleteHope you survived all of those exciting projects and obligations, and are feeling much better! I think we need to ask for a 'sick day' benefit for Mommies!! Hugs and prayers to you!!
