Hope, Comfort, and Fun!


So the one thing that I definitly can't do is sew. I try, but not matter what it seems it gets crooked. Todays card was made for the CPS challenge and I really struggled to finish this. I am not sure that I am happy with it still, but decided that enough is enough and gave up on it. I don't really have too much time today as I have a 2 yr. old daughter that is very sick today so I could only work on it in between having to take care of her. The dp I used on this card I purchased at Michaels in a paper pack by Ancestory. I love this line of paper, but it lends toward Shabby which is sometimes very hard for me to do. I used a decorative edge punch by Martha Stewart, and I used scalloped scissors to cut out the heart. The lace was a piece of lace I had in my ribbon stash. I added the prima with the metal accent and pearlized brad. I also added some Company K stickers I had that say Hope, Comfort, and Fun. I added some Martha Stewart pearls and here it is. I also want to say thank you to all those that have left me comments on my blog. All comments are so much appreciated.
