Hello and happy Friday to you!
Whoo-hoo the weekend is finally here! What are your plans for the weekend? I'm planning on staying in my PJs all day tomorrow and crafting my day away. I have so many projects going on and would love to cross a couple of them off my list!
I'm sure that most of you know Madison of "Funky Cards" and I'm sure that many of you are familiar with her I Feel The Love project. If you aren't, you really should hop over to her blog and check it out. Each month Madison selects a special person in need of encouragement and uplifting. She then does a little write up about this person on her blog and encourages crafters to create something special just for that person. Personally, I think I get more of a blessing by participating than the person on the receiving end! I so admire Madison for putting her creative talents to such a wonderful purpose. This month, Madison is collecting cards for a sweet young lady named Olivia. Olivia is 9 years old and recently lost her mother to cancer. You can read more about Olivia's story here. Here's the card I created for Olivia...
Recipe:
* Fun paper is from the "Uptown Flair" paper stack
* Scalloped mats are from the Cricut cartridge "Elegant Edges"
* I used the new "Anya Lifts" stamp from "The Greeting Farm"
* Sentiment is from "Pink By Design"
* Sentiment mat is from "Spellbinders
* Hot pink ribbon is from "My Craft Spot"
I colored my image with my Copic Markers and paper-pieced the balloons with scraps from this cute paper stack, "Uptown Flair".
* I am linking this card up in the challenge going on over at Cooking With Cricut - "I Feel The Love"
I hope this fun card puts a smile on Olivia's sweet face!
Ok, I'm off to get a few things accomplished around this house so that I can craft tomorrow without a guilty conscience...yeah...like a dirty house is going to bother me when I'm in the "crafting zone"! Have a great weekend and I'll see you soon.
Until next time,
Hi Tanya, I am the one who shared Olivia's story and wanted to thank you for making a card for her! She is going to love this! The super bright colors and image are so wonderful and I love the paper pieced balloons. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sending Olivia a smile! :o)
