Baby scrapbook: Bloomin'

The last trimester of pregnancy remind me of a blooming flower. In this page the belly is in full bloom. Enjoy!

Handmade tag: Enjoy today

 This is the result of my texture play. I created a tribute to a co-worker whose mother is a strong breast cancer survivor. Her story inspired me to create this tag that she could display at her desk.

Many times I have been guilty of waiting for a special occasion to create something for someone. This friend has taught me how to do my job in a more efficient way. Even though thank you is something I can say in a card, I decided saying it through a tag would be more fitting. She was flattered and impressed when I incorporated her favorite color into this tag. The back of the tag reinforces how she inspired me.


It is a small tribute to all those strong women who battle breast cancer only to emerge as beautiful butterflies from a cocoon of pain. Thank you for inspiring me with your strength.

Nature walk: Toadstool

Taking leisurely walks around the yard is something that brought some surprising rewards. Beauty is all around the trick is to take a deep breath and EXPLORE.

 

When I saw this mushroom growing at the base of our tree I did something I never do. I sat on the grass next to it in awe and captured this with my digital camera. It brought to mind images of Alice in Wonderland meeting the centipede atop the toadstool. 

When I viewed it from a higher angle I saw  that it resembled a distressed flower. Isn't it like life? in that just by changing our viewpoint something (almost) mundane and everyday can become sublime. In the weeks and months to come I will continue to explore the world around me and reflect on it.

Sneak peek: Love on canvas

When I found this embellishment I knew I wanted to use it on this project. The quote was incredible and one of my new favorites. It defines the love between these two people so perfectly. I trust you will all enjoy the following days worth of my tribute to the love shared in this mini album.

There are so many different ways to create birthday cards, and this is just one of them. For the king or queen in your life who would love a little something special to usher in their new year.

Too many birthday cards put the focus on the age without focus the enjoyment in those years.
