Live Life Fully

Hello Everyone. An encouragement card this time around. I have had a few things come against me and I have been reminded that we should live each day no matter what we have to go through. So I made this card to send to someone whom I think needs this encouragement.

And this card started with this sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Their Design Team is looking for extra people at the moment.

When I first saw this sketch I was a little intimidated by it. I was wondering how I was going to swing putting all the elements onto a card and still have it look good. So I went through my paper pad stash to see what would spark some interest. I found Kasiercrafts Tea Party and with it was the collectable set as well. The middle elements are from the collectable set and the other elements are all papers from the pad. I used some distress inks on elements because I wanted things to stand out more without adding more layers.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card project. Before you go I would like to leave you with this thought

I think that these are great daily reminders for everyone. I think that I am going to print this out for myself but also who I am going to send this card too. Sometimes reading stuff like this can help you see whatever you are going through in a totally different way.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,

Best Friends

Hello Everyone, Yes another card ... well when you have time why not craft! Even when on holidays. So I had some time spare today and made another card.

When I saw this sketch from Atlantic Heart 

I thought that I wouldn't be able to make anything but then I remember that in my crafting supplies along with the Kasiercraft "Sweet Pea" Paper Pad I also brought along the collectables. These collectables are card stock weight die cuts and such which you can add to any project. 

So I went looking in this and found the Scalloped circle, Tag and Sentiment circle and these stacked well together. I matted everything with maroon card stock including the diagonal piece to give it a little more definition from the striped back paper.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look at my card. Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge is having a design team call at the moment which I am going to enter. If you have seen more of my blog you know that I love using sketches so I would love to be a part of a Sketch Challenge Blog. But before you go I would like to leave you with this thought

I am trying to take on more of the opportunities that God is putting in front of me. Believing that I am finding them when God will help me to make the most of it. More has been coming my way.

Have a Happy Crafty Kind of Day,
😊 Tracy B
