It's been a very busy week, and I'm just stopping now to catch my breath. One of the many things keeping me busy is preparing for a ten day pilgrimage to Rome and then three days in France in May! I won a drawing for a sponsorship while attending a young adult group - I was so shocked and surprised! I'd never won anything big before (like a Silhouette - sigh ;)), so you can imagine my surprise winning a $2,800+ sponsorship! I've had some time to recover from my shock though, so now I'm busy preparing for the trip. :)
Anyways, here's a card I made for this weeks Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge
...using that pretty free flower digi along with a digi sentiment...
The soft colors obviously inspired the very light, Neopolitan ice cream like color scheme here, and the wreath itself just made me think of places you usually see them - on doors or windows, so I went with a window pane style here.
Well, my youngest brother is begging me to get off the computer so he can watch Ninjago (a LEGO tv...thing ;)), so I'd best be off.
Thanks so much for stopping in today, and have a blessed Sunday!
