Tales From the Compact: Sending Good Thoughts Your Way

Sunday, February 9, 2014

Hello Friends!

That's what I'm doing today. Sending good thoughts your way. Just like the card says!

I had tons of fun creating this card from this week's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. Check it out:

I can always count on a great sketch from these folks to kick start my creativity!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Perfect Pennants

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Baked Brown Sugar, Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana

Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper

Ruffled ribbon, tiny pearls, star punch, diagonal stripe embossing folder and the Pennants framelits

Thanks for taking a look!

Great take on the sketch, Cheryl! I forgot about that embossing folder. It goes so well with this suite. Hope you're doing well, my friend!

Beauty Queen Commandments

1. Thou shalt NOT covet a celebrity's body. It's NOT real--hired chefs, personal trainers, airbrushing and photoshop create a nice but unrealistic image. We are real...YOU are real. Enjoy it!
2. Know that you are gifted. Search for your gift and know it's a marathon, not a sprint.
3. Thou shalt keep your FB Status updates humorous or entertaining. AND, do NOT reply to my status with your poor judgement!
4. Stay Tuned............
5. Thou shalt always jingle & shine! One bracelet is NEVER enough. May we always wear rhinestones and radiate the beauty of our joy!
6. Thou shalt NOT sport an "orange glow" tan! Vitamin D & SPF are a necessity! (and it isn't fooling anyone!)
7. Prior to passing judgement on another's style, whether silently or audibly, please consult a mirror to assure that your style is AT LEAST within 2 years of being current! Otherwise, find the nearest mall & welcome to the present!
8. To speak one's mind is BLiSS! To be silenced by fear is TrAGic! You ARE your own best advocate!
9. A true friend knows the words to your imaginary theme song and sings it loudly and proudly with you in public. P.S. Thank you for the stage, Starbucks!
10. Live like a role model, Love even when you don't want to, and Laugh through it ALL! After all, you may be the only Jesus someone sees...or their only Jeff Foxworthy!
