My first card in 2017 is for a great challenge site called Words 2 Craft By.
I have entered their challenges a few times now and I was lucky enough to win one, which was great, and it also meant that I got to be a Guest Designer for them :)
Their challenge focuses on a saying or quote.
This one is from Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett :
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
I decided to use this gorgeous stamp called Petunia and Penny Take a Break from Stamping Bella.
These two are SO adorable and they?!
My card is a reminder to Relax and "smell the roses", to be mindful and fully present in each moment.
And to not be so hard on ourselves when we are going through so many changes in our lives and things don't always go as planned.
