Sometimes when I see the new SFYTT, I *totally* know what I want to do, other times...I am truly at a loss. This week was one of those unsure weeks. I decided to start with what I felt like; I knew that I wanted to color. I pulled out this set, because it has some fun butterflies to color and I haven't used it in a while. I chose my color palette based on the cluster of markers that were together in my basket. Once I had those elements figured out, I just went with it.
I like the organic feel that evolved with this card. I tried to choose details and embellishments that continued on that path. I decided to give this card to one of my friends and she absolutely loves the saying "Live, Laugh, Love". I thought that would be perfect to add to the tags on the side. I simply used some old Making Memories alphabet stickers that I have had for years.
The background was embossed in my cuttlebug using a music note embossing folder. It seemed unexpected, but fitting all the same. I decided to call it good once Rowan started having a fit. I was having Emma "babysit" and she couldn't handle it anymore. The boys (Dad and Rockwell) were off to football practice. Now that Dad is coaching, he is gone in the evening and I have no one to "hand the baby off to". Not that I am complaining. I would much rather have my sweet little guy than have my hands free all the time!
Rockwell has his first practice scrimmage of the season today. I hope they do well. I always get nervous and excited all at the same time.
I Hope you all have a chance to play this week!You won't want to miss the other gal's creations!
