The sketch made me smile because a few short years ago, skewed panels on sketches sent me into a tail spin LOL. Practice makes perfect, and now they are a welcome addition to any sketch. Love how you can continually grow and evolve in this wonderful hobby (aka: addiction)!
I just "had" to use this wonderful flower image from Happy Place again - sorry! Just can't help myself! The sentiment is from the same set and the fabulous monarch butterfly is from Each Day.

I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact we are now in August and my son just turned fourteen! I was seven months pregnant with him when we moved into our home and it feels like yesterday when I gave birth to him - well, not exactly yesterday, but you know what I mean LOL! Mom is home from hospital now, but struggling a bit so we are monitoring her closely. Hoping it is temporary and she just needs time to heal, otherwise, we may have to make some hard decisions regarding her need for assisted living....been quite a month!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Marisa! your take on the sketch, is as always first class!xxx
ReplyDeleteFun creation with the sketch!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Love the pretty butterfly.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ! I have the stampset with the same sentence from SU - it is one of my favorites ... Anita
ReplyDeleteThe earth was doubly laughing with this gorgeous bloom and that butterfly, Marissa! Sensational! I hope your mom continues to improve so you can put off those hard decisions a bit longer. Enjoy those moments. I turned around one day and had almost ten yo GRANDchildren, lol! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove this, Marisa!!! Such a great combo of elements and texture!
ReplyDeleteYou rocked the Sketch Marisa! Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI hear you...I can't believe my first baby is *16* now and driving...help! I know it's tough, but I'm also looking forward to new chapters in her life, but the sad part is that I realized how old I'm getting...LOL!!! Hang in there...and I hope your mom will recover quickly! BIG HUGS, ~S~
I love those flowers, Marisa. And, I do remember when you did not like those skewed panels. Seems funny now, doesn't it? :-)
ReplyDeleteSome lovely soft colors in your 'fly and papers. I remember all the fun comments you made about skewed panels as well - but they always looked fabulous. Love your card Marisa. Hugz!
ReplyDeletelove the note paper under the sentiment...I have a thing for anything "office supply!"
ReplyDeleteOf my this is beautiful, I love those flowers and the colours you used!
ReplyDeleteI've fallen so far behind in commenting, so time to catch up before heading to my 'craft counter'! Gorgeous card - and you need never apologize for repeated uses of stamps. My butterfly addiction stands as evidence! Your angled panels are eye-catching; a sketch feature that I still find daunting, but not as much as bows/ribbons/twine. I see those on a sketch and run away fast! Sending prayers that your mom recovers so decisions about moving her don't need to be made! You have plenty on your plate, my friend, but I know you'll weather it all! Hope you're loving your new job!
