This was one of those cards that almost didn't happen. I had a pretty rough month last month and then started this month off with yet another bad day. I planned to take this week off from Freshly Made Sketches because I've just been too upset/depressed to stamp. My awesome teammates gave me a pep talk and I decided to go stamp (or try to) last night after dinner. This is what I came up with. It's by no means the best card ever, but I'm happy I made something. It helped so much! Our sketch this week was by the talented and oh so sweet Amy.
I'm glad they were able to talk you into some stamping, because I love this card! The red and green looks terrific against the white.
ReplyDeleteAs for Miss Laila, I LOVE that photo!

Awesome card! Your daughter is beautiful! I know life can be so tough - just keep stamping and chugging along. You will have better days ahead. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love your card and am so happy you created it! Beautiful and CASE worthy!
ReplyDeleteRita, I'm sorry you have had a tough month. I hope you feel better soon. Your card is just lovely! You do such a nice job, and I love your style. I'm glad you didn't skip the FMS as I was anxious to see what you would come up with. Laila is so sweet. Enjoy every moment as best as you can.

ReplyDeleteThis is everything a Christmas card should be! I love the stars with the bling! (There's a "star" challenge this week at Festive Friday. Just sayin'). And it's no surprise that Laila made it on the calendar. She's the sweetest thing!

Your card is fabulous Rita, I love papers and stars. The photo is darling.
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspiration, Rita. You always put your best foot forward and I admire you so much. And it just kills me that you make a card that looks like this when you're having a bad stampin' day! This card is stinkin' AWESOME!
