Count Your Blessings.
Absolutely. It's a special message this time of year especially in Canada where Thanksgiving is a couple days away. With all the tragic events happening, it's a great exercise to remember your blessings and to stay positive.
It takes intentional thinking and action.
You got this.
Let's change the world.
One positive thought at a time.
It's World Card Marking Day and I am so very exciting to be celerbating with my Stampin' Up! friends and family from all over the world. I love with all with all my heart because I truly feel connected to them in our funny world of crafting.
This card was created by first heat embossing a couple pieces of water colour paper in gold. I water coloured over top using berry blast refill ink and an aquapainter. Honestly, I loved the look just the way it is but wanted to continue to go further with the Count Your Blessings stamps. Adding only some layers and of course some machine stitching I finished this card. But really, all this card needed was the sentiment.
To celebrate WCMD, be sure to send a card today whether handmade or not. Let them know you are so glad to have them in your life.
But before you do be sure to keep hopping to Holly Stene. I know she will amaze you. She's one of my sweet friends and Artisan sister. She's got a beautiful talent and an amazing style so I know you'll be blown away.
Until next time,
Love Cathy
Are you lost?

ReplyDeleteCathy my friend ... you are my watercolouring princess! This is beyond magical. Also, the words you speak here, ring true to my heart.
ReplyDelete"It takes intentional thinking and action. You got this."
Those are words I say to myself before every shift at work. Of course I add other positive mantra to the mix, but it totally works when you are fighting the storm.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving my Canadian sista!💖
