A New Sketch A New Day

Hi and happy Saturday! 
Hope you are out enjoying some time in the sun. My husband just returned from a beautiful time on the lake in his kayak. 

My pain is up and my energy is very low today so Josie and I kept company here at the house. It's days like this that make me especially grateful I can stamp because making a card gives me a feeling of accomplishment in spite of having a rare disease that is sometimes chronic. 
So does having pot roast in the crockpot. Alas, I digress. 

When I first saw the sketch I was puzzled about how to make a card that didn't look a bit off balance or as if it was contrived to work with the layout. When I found this scrap with the sentiment in my stash I decided it had to be used and today was the day. 



Keep your face towards the sunlight. Encouraging advice that I needed to hear today. 



I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out. It was quick to make using supplies from past card kits. No stamping. 

That's it from me for today. Glad you came by!

Be yourself
     Delight in your craft 
        Make something beautiful!

You're so good with these sketches. What a beautiful card. So soft and pretty. Funny how the sketch looks rather harsh, but your eyes saw it differently. I'm sorry to hear about your pain. I hope today is a better day.
