Digistamps4Joy - Challenge #148

wonderful
ˈwʌndəfʊl,ˈwʌndəf(ə)l/
adjective
  1. inspiring delight, pleasure, or admiration; extremely good; marvellous.
    "they all think she's wonderful"


Hey there,  
my word for the year is wonderful and I am so, living up to my choice of word. 
Maybe it is a state of mind but usually round this time of the year I fall into one of my dark pits, caused by Mothers's Day and the passing of my wonderful mum a week later.
But this year there is something different in my spirit.  I don't have that deep sense of grief but a sort of peace.  I had been holding onto the grief and have finally let it go. 
This card is dedicated to my mum who has her wings. I know she watches over me and I hope I am the woman she would have wanted me to be..   

The Digi I used is called heart wings and the sentiment I used is called Mom wings. Quite pertinant, I think!

The image was cut on my Silhouette and I re-assembled it with some layers. I tucked yellow roses and arum lilies in as these were her favourite flowers.  This is how the page started .......




....... but then it sort of morphed into this and will be part of a larger canvas, which I will share on another occasion.



For those who still have mums, treasure them.
For those who are mums, nuture the memories

Digistamps4Joy | Challenge #146


And just like that it is March. I love this month, its my birthday so I get to celebrate another year.
This month our challange at DigiStamps4Joy is all about being young and I chose to use this Flower Power image to create my card.  The card has  an unusual fold and creates its own envelope. I will add a turorial to this post later in the month.



'til we chat again

Challenge #145 I Love You | DigiStamps4Joy



Isn't February wonderful, it's the month of love and
 also the month I celebrate my wedding anniversary.
For  Challenge #145 I used a new release in the 
DS4J store by Jen Leefleng.


I used my Silhouette to trace the image.  I used Aquarelle pencils
to colour the image (still learning - haven't got it right yet!),
cut out the frame and layered it with coloured cardstock and used 
the Cuttlebug to emboss the white cardstock.


chat soon and remember to keep creating...
take care
