I know Christmas is only a few days away.....believe me, that's all I can think about! For the last two days, I've cleaned, baked, shopped, and wrapped presents! I am hosting Christmas Eve this year......so there is lots to do! But, I have a non Christmas card today......just because. It is a
JustRite image, called,
Quiet Moments, illustrated by
Elizabeth Dulemba. She is a children's book author and illustrator, and her images are so sweet! I colored this image with my
Copic Markers. I cut it out using my
Circle Spellbinder's die. I matted that against a
scalloped circle and then placed a doily behind it. The designer paper is by Girl's
Paperie. I softened the pattern a bit with a piece of vellum. I machine stitched the perimeter and added pearls to the corners.
The sentiment was stamped using the same set in Ripe Avocado (
Papertrey Ink) and cut out using a
scalloped heart by Spellbinders. I added some glitter, pearls, and some of my colored seam binding.
I have one last Christmas card up my sleeve for Friday........... : )
Off to see my Gram today. She is 90 and has Alzheimer's. And let me tell ya, that disease totally sucks! She isn't the woman she used to be and it is always a bittersweet visit. She still knows who I am.....which is good, but my heart aches when I see her........*sigh*.

This card is so sweet...I love it! I'm sorry about your Gram; I don't personally know anyone with this terrible disease but it is one of the things that I am most afraid of. Because my memories are so important to me, the thought of losing them is devastating...this is one of my motivations for scrapping. I hope your visit went well with her today.
ReplyDeleteThats absolute sweet card Michelle :)
ReplyDeleteJust dropping by to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday. Hope all is well with your visit to your grammy!
Hugs,
