Combined it with a the butterfly and sentiment from Sparkly Dreams and the matching Butterfly Dreams die. A few leaf springs added a bit to the butterfly and as did a few sequins to the sentiment panel. Also used a white gel pen to add a touch of white to the butterfly for a little something.

It has been quite the week here....got a call from my daughter from London last Sunday sobbing so hard she couldn't speak. Turns out she had the flu, felt horrible and wanted to come home. It was day one of her two week trip to Europe with a group from her school - not a nice way to start a trip! They ended up taking her to a walk in clinic to get her checked out, doc gave her some meds and sent her on her way. She missed the first day of tours etc. as she was too sick to do anything, she struggled through day two, and thankfully, by day three was beginning to feel better and started eating again. Lots of phone calls, tears and "you can do this, just work through it one day at a time" from us. Did quite the number on my mommy heart to say the least!
She is back in full health now and enjoying her trip - other that having very sore feet from all the walking and being a bit home sick. Thank goodness for Facebook and cheap calling rates to Europe! Miss her dearly, can't wait to see all her photos (she has taken 520 so far and still has four days to go LOL) and hear about all her adventures and hug her to bits when she gets home!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Marisa! So inspiring, I can't wait to work with the Mojo Monday sketch.
ReplyDeleteLovely Spring colors -- great job with the sketch~
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous, Marisa. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely, great layout!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card, Marisa. I have just begun a new (to me) book about Lincoln, so I was happy to see this quote as a stamp! Hope you have a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my...your poor daughter! I'm so glad she's feeling better! When we traveled to Nepal (6 years ago), the last few days of our trek were marred with me becoming exponentially sick. NOT fun in the least, especially since we were walking every day. I wished I could have called my mom! Even though my husband was with me, doing his best to help me out, there's nothing like words of comfort from mom! Your card is lovely (yes, I'm repetitive, but it's your fault *grin*....your cards are ALL awesome!) and again, the butterfly has me swooning! If our dollar were better and shipping just a wee bit lower, I'd be adding a WHOLE lot of Verve to my collection. Saving, saving...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Marisa. Love the colors/papers mix and the fun sentiment. So glad your daughter stuck it out - she will cherish those memories forever (just not the flu days). Hugz
