Hello crafty-stampers, hope you're enjoying a fabulous week!
Today's card was created for Our Creative Corner's "Buttons 'n Burlap or Bows" challenge using the [flipped] sketch from the current Mojo Monday challenge. To participate in the OCC challenge, I used wooden Prima buttons, jute burlap ribbon, and tied l'il bows in the buttonholes. Quick and dirty ...
This card also qualifies for a number of fabulous challenges; for a complete list, please see the bottom of this post. And for the down-low on all of the exciting product used to create this card, check out the Card Recipe, below.
Sooooo, on Tuesday Sheila, her DH, Reid The-Wild-Child, and I attended a funeral service for Sheila's elderly neighbor. The service was lovely ... a true celebration of her life ... and was attended by many neighbors, friends, and family members.
During the memorial service, the Minister called for a moment of silence to remember the faithful dead. As the Church grew quiet, Reid turned to his Dad and loudly exclaimed, "Hey, Dad, you have some of their CD's!"
Thanks so much for spending part of your busy day with me!
