CAS-ual Fridays CFC72 has a GENIUS idea this week...
Toot Your Own Horn~create a project inspired by your blog header.
How cool is that????
I love it!
I think it's fun to read about the headers.
My youngest girlie wanted this cool citrus floatie~and to justify the cost...I thought I should use it as a prop. Had this great idea to put my crafties and some bright cards on it and let it coast!
Funny thing is...I wasn't worried about the cards (I give them away and they've been archived)...but I was seriously gulping once the float moved and I saw my Copics and stamp pads stare back at me all helpless like.
IT WAS SAD!
After "the shoot" was over...I coaxed them over to me, whispering sweet 'nothings and "apologizing" to my favorite tools. ;)
You might be rolling your eyes right now...but try taking your faves and send them out into the middle of a pool and then we'll talk. ;) LOL.
It's so weird. I didn't expect to react that way.
Ironically, they didn't make the final cut as the header, but did make it in the smaller pic at the bottom of my list on the left sidebar.
Enough chatter...here's the card:
I meant to create a "playful" card...but I started reflecting..as I always do when I stamp.
Our handbell choir is operating at 60% right now...each and every person matters in such a choir (AND IN LIFE)~RIGHT?!
You don't have to be a big slice to matter in God's eyes.
You matter because He says you matter.
"And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you. No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary." 1 Corinthians 12:21-22
AMEN?!
I'm curious to see the blog header interpretations this week....
Take care friends~

I can see how thoroughly inspired you were from your banner. This card is a spectacular interpretation. I love your story and understand how you felt when those tools and cards were floating in the pool.
ReplyDeleteLoved your story about the slushie - well worth the price to see your girlie happy, but I'm with you... why are they so darn expensive. Glad you rescued everything. Love your citrus design - I think it's clever that you left a piece missing and filled it in with your sentiment! Oooh and I love the yellow and blue together!
ReplyDeletehow creative and fun....
ReplyDeleteVery nice card and it represents you well. I love your blog post too. It was really fun. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me such a nice comment! Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. I love your banner inspiration take. I especially love the sentiment. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love the analogy of how we each matter and how you tied that into this card with the sliced out piece. Gorgeous colors with the yellow and blue and great touch with the paper piercing! It's beautifully done. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog today!
ReplyDeletelol Marlena! That is such a cute story. I don't think I would have been brave enough to send out my supplies in the middle of the pool. Hehe. This is such a fun card. :)
