When I saw the sketch at the TGIF Challenges, I wanted to see if I could incorporate one of my Gel Press Printed Tags into my design.
I chose a tag and then found a piece of paper I had made at a class long ago and decided to use that for my card base ... I love when pieces I've made finally find their home on a card.
I added various washi tapes, wrapped it with some twine, blinged it up a bit with some gems, and finished with a sticker sentiment.
I"m also linking-up at the Totally Tangerine Challenge at The Rainbow Card Challenge.
And I'm linking-up at the Long and Skinny Challenge at Just Us Girls.
I found Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries at the store today ... and I bought them. They are one of my favorites and always make me think of my Grandfather. When I cared for him while he was in the nursing home in my town, they would play Bingo every week for prizes ... and around Christmas, they always got a box of Chocolate Covered Cherries for his prize. When the holiday season ended, he was always sad ... and would say to me, "why can't we have Chocolate Covered Cherries all year long ... " and I never had a good answer. I just told him to be grateful for his Little Debbie Cakes. So today I ate a few cherries for him.
Seize the Day.
