Does that happen to you - or is it just me??? You start a project with an idea in your head.... which you're super excited about, then when you start to put it on paper, it just doesn't come together.... and you work it... get frustrated... and work it some more until all you can do is scrap it and start over...
Well, that's what happened to me with this "WISHES" lo... I wanted to use some photos of Rainee & Steve skipping rocks (from our vacation), but but I just couldn't make it come together...
But now can I tell you how happy I am that I did scratch the origianl idea and started fresh... I just love what happened... I LOVE the Piggy Tales Sliding Doors. Oh my goodness... what fun are they... I love the peek-a-boo effect of it all... it's just so fun!!! So when all is said and done... scratching a project and starting over can be the best thing you can do... it was for me...
Here is Rainee celebrating her 5th birthday with her papa... it's not of the big birthday bash, we do with her (and still planning of course doing) but this moment is special... because she was able to enjoy it with her papa... I know, for me, it's a memory which will last forever...
My 'envelope card'... this is actually one of those string enclosure envelopes... which I didn't want to just put journaling in or decorate it and send it off to some one... I wanted to do something different... and this is what I came up with... I love the closure and how the flap holds the gift card... a little different, yes?
Anyway, that's it for now... Here's hoping you have a super fab day...
Great wishes page..... I have learned when i try and try to just take a breather and start fresh and it always turns out better then i could have imagined!! You are super talented!! I watch you videos on youtube and your daughter is adorable!
ReplyDeleteFantasic layouts once again and a very cute card. Hope you have a great 4th.
ReplyDeleteFor me, some of my most liberating moments involve the trash can...lol
ReplyDeleteStarting over also means "beginning again" --- wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do that in all of the areas of our lives that need it?
Beautiful layout, as always - 5 is beautiful and Papa's are precious.
