It's round or square week over on the Mojo Monday blog and I have great fun working with the banners on this sketch.Of course, a round card was my default for this week, but loving the square version as well so made one of each. I'll show you the second one later this week.
I pulled out some gorgeous In Bloom MME papers for the banners and and used this wonderful sentiment from Dream Big. The reality of the sentiment was brought to heart when one of my best friend's sister passed away this month and we attended her memorial service this weekend. We never know when we will see someone for the last time and thus need to make sure we tell them we love them, or ask for forgiveness, or compliment them on something they have done etc. so you have no regrets when that option is no longer available.
You can check out all the challenge details over on the Mojo Monday blog and also get a chance to view all the wonderful Mojo Makers samples! Should you wish more details on their cards, you can also visit their individual blogs noted below.
My crazy schedule continues, though one big project is out of the way - phew! Was thrilled my hubby got the coaching position for my son's soccer team and my son is beyond excited to have daddy coaching him :)
Thanks for popping by and have a fabulous week everyone!

This is super lovely Marisa. Great shape, fun sketch, and lovely sentiment (saw the set was on sale at the store too). It reminds me of the same thing it reminded you of - I still regret not saying more to every person I have lost. Happy Monday! Hugz!
The sentiment is oh so true. Your card is beautiful Marisa...I love the pearl outline.
Fantastic!! Love that little flower!! So pretty!
Congrats to your husband on the coaching job! Will be GREAT for your son to have him there supporting, encouraging and teaching!

So sorry to hear about your friend's sister. Your card is beautiful and the sentiment is very powerful. TFS!
Beautiful papers and love that sweet pop of color in the rolled rose! That sentiment is such a poignant reminder...love it!
Beautiful card Marisa! I love the liquid pearls and the sheer ribbon!
Love your circle card, Marisa. It is really gorgeous. Pretty sheer ribbon and lovely rose.
I'm sure your son is on a cloud to have Dad as coach. What fun for them.
such a lovely card and that sentiment is so true. It fits perfectly on that oval die cut :)
I really love this In Bloom pack, I've used up almost all of it! It's so soft and soothing, and I really love the ribbon too. Lovely card Marisa! Isn't it great when you're kids still love to be with their parents? I'm always so grateful! Have fun with soccer!

Wow, Marisa! This is stunning. A perfect sentiment paired with your trademark perfect circle scallop when you do these round cards. I just love it! Always such perfect touches - the half pearls and ribbon truly are lovely.
What a wonderful (and true) sentiment! The pearls and sweet rose make this so elegant!
Gorgeous card, Marisa! Love the soft colors and pop of orange! So sorry for your friend's loss.. These are definitely some great words to live by.
A beautiful card, and even more beautiful thoughts on making sure we tell our loved ones what they mean to us. The coral and gray combo is a favorite of mine right now, too.

Beautifully done, Marisa. The liquid pearls are so perfectly placed and add that little extra to make this card sing. Happy Sunday!
Very nice! I know how you adore a round card, Mama Ritzi. ;)
