~Life is Fleeting~

Whew, life IS fleeting, isn't it????


Where does the time go?

I just received my Prima
paper today and HAD TO PLAY WITH IT.


I inked up Mama Elephant's On Target and added Teresa Collins' elements to reflect this sketch from

Mama Elephant Sketch Challenge 02.

~Live the Life~

The life I've lived is not what I planned...as far as the little details go, anyway.

I didn't plan on moving around every few years and starting over and over and over...with my husband gone half the time.

In fact, I didn't have much say in where we would move or when he'd be gone.


Minor details. ;)


But, I DID

 imagine a house of love and contentment~surrounded by family.

Life in the military moved me from my home base...

but in time, God used it to shape a new home base.


Wherever we move...we have each other.


No matter the house...it is home.

It's by God's grace that I live the life I imagined ~according to the big details.

I'm submitting this card to

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #43.

My colors were inspired by ColourQ Challenge #152.

I tried to keep in mind the Gallon/Quart/Pint Challenge in the Moxie Fab World
while working with these lovely colors.

I'm so proud of my girlies~it was fun to craft and bond!




I had so much fun yesterday, I didn't get a chance to post my

 fall pinwheel card.

I used my Sweet n' Sassy leaf dies on some beautiful paper that came with my Eclectic Paperie order~thank you Kim!

I folded each leaf in for a pinwheel effect.
