Peaceful Petals Sponging

Hey there Bloggers! Woohoo it's Friday! And I am headed to a skating competition this weekend in St Albert. 
Are your kids involved in sports? This will be the last year for my daughter as she is moving on to University next year but I am sure that she will keep up with her skating when she comes home. She just won't be competing anymore. Next year will be my son's last year in hockey too. Life is changing...

Today's card is one that I made based on an idea that I saw on Hero Arts blog. It has some sponging, some emboss resist and some layering.

Enjoy!

A Christmas Gift For You

I just had an experience a few moments ago with someone who was selling a product. The item had a price sticker on it (in the picture) and someone was interested in it but did not notice the price, so asked how much. I was also interested and had noticed the price. I posted that I would take the item if the first buyer did not. The seller then came back and quoted a higher price. I could be wrong about the situation, but my take on it is that the seller increased the price because she had more interest. Personally, I am not willing to give my money to someone who would do that. If the seller was legitimately selling the item at the higher price then why leave the sticker with the lower price in the picture. So I posted that I had seen the original price and I was no longer interested. I am interested to hear your thoughts. How would you feel about a situation like this?  Has this ever happened to you?

Today's project is a cute little carrier. Which as luck would have it, someone actually named it Cute Carrier. Not sure if it has another name, but the project is cute none the less. I thought that it would be perfect for those Coffee gift cards that we all give as gifts at Christmas. There are several variations that I can think of for it, which makes it a great project in my opinion. And because I made a Christmas one, it fits in nicely with this week's Playing in Paradise challenge. Oh, and by the way, the holder also includes a small decorated cup inside which I hadn't finished when I took the picture.

Social Media

So I'm sitting here watching the news and a story comes on about a teenage girl here in Calgary who has cancer. When she was diagnosed, she started tweeting about how things were going and how she was feeling. All of the feedback and encouragement she has received has helped her to stay positive and strong. And it's not only from people like you and me, but hockey superstars too. She is very passionate about her hockey and she has even scheduled her chemo around hockey tryouts. I found the story very inspirational and I love how people can feel/do positive things through social media. I hope that you will follow this inspirational young woman  @CuzIHaveCancer

Today's card has a more vintage feel to it. I used the Everything Eleanor and French Foliage stamp sets. 


Terryfic Tips:
  • lay a strip of Sticky Strip adhesive where you would like your ribbon to sit. Then gather the Ribbon along the Sticky Strip pressing down in the hollows to adhere.
