EMPHASIZE THE NEGATIVE~dies, that is

I love the cuts of leaves...positive and negative.



I believe each are just as beautiful.

Emphasize the Negative Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

challenges us to emphasize the negative~which I'm sure Cath meant strictly for dies and such (not outlooks on life...being the positive role model she is). ;)

I recently acquired, (you know how those stamps just fall from the sky, LOL)

a background stamp from Stampendous-Autumn words.


I stamped first and cut leaves out next...keeping it CAS.


The sticker sentiment was the easiest~I felt it had JUST THE RIGHT words for empty spots and such.


 Thanks for stopping by today~you know it makes me happy. ;)

Oh, I am SO READY for warmth, are you?

I am ready to put on those worn, faded, comfy T-shirts and RELAX in the sun.

sigh.

I made my own background with my favorite teeny elements...erasers and shadows.

It's the little things that get my attention...I root for the underdog~ LOL!

I am also submitting this to Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger:Pattern Play

My pattern isn't as structured as the photo...'cause I'm feeling free and spirited today...but a pattern is a pattern, right-and this pattern is "playing" along. ;)

Have a blessed day friends~

~Live the Life~

A testimony is powerful, because it is an experience that WAS LIVED


by real people with real feelings, hopes and dreams.

The tear drops were hard for me to use~ they are actually rain drop stickers.


I wasn't even a papercrafter when I bought them-I was moved by their realism!


I splashed them about...because many times the stories that are the most powerful (but hard to share)...are those which involved tears (at least in my life).




I got to play with the beautiful colors from

Teri Anderson,

 

I love the way Teri filled her card with various sentiments and interesting elements.

 

 

 

 

The whimsical, "full of sentiment, sentimental" aspect of

 Inspired By #64

 had me thinking of filling those frames with fun words in various colors.

 

 

Hope you have a great day!!!
