Tuesday Trigger for February 21, 2011

Quote for today:

A smile is a powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it. (Unknown)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning! I just had to do the Tuesday trigger this week. I just love working with flowers!

Check it out and let me know what you think.

The Trigger:

My cards: I have stated before I really do not like to do just one card. When I do, it is because I'm on serious time constraints. Therefore I am usually interested in doing multiple (up to 6) of one card with possible variations to make a set. In the end, I was pleased with the outcome. :)

General Details: Imagine That textured cardstock

lavendar, orange, blue inks/no name

rubber stamps from Oriental Trading (flower and sentiment)

Rhinestones/Oriental Trading

Wooden button/unknown

Flowers by Prima

Thanks for stopping by. I truly appreciate your comments!

Tuesday trigger 2 weeks!

I wanted to quote from another favorite book of mine today:

Words of wisdom for Women (365 words)

I love this book and had an idea to do a set of cards using these words. I made a few, and I'm going to make more because the words are powerful...

The word for today is:

ACCEPT

Recognize what you can change and what you can't. In every moment, ACCEPT that

everything is as it should be. ACCEPT that your body is round and fat and glorious.

Just love it. ACCEPT that you don't do things the way everyone else does. Just embrace

it. ACCEPT that sometimes your belly hurts, sometimes you don't have enough money

to pay the light bill, sometimes life is too hard. Just cry and move through it. ACCEPT

that you can't do it all-and who would want to anyway? ACCEPT a kind word. Don't appologize. ACCEPT a gift- no matter how big, how small. Say Thank you without embarrassment. ACCEPT that life isn't always fair and find the wonder in that, too. Don't Accept things

that aren't yours, like misdirected shame and blame. Like credit for someone else's accomplishment. Like disrespect. ACCEPT everything you are, and nothing you are not.

Tuesday Trigger for January 18, 2011

Hello! More wintry weather predicted to be on the way... : (

I took this one in my neighbors yard to show the inches on her hanging flowers and the playhouse...

Live and Learn and pass it on for today:

I've learned that TRUST is the single most important factor

in both personal and professional relationships. Age 20

What do you think about that? I wholeheartedly agree!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's a Tuesday Trigger Challenge! I haven't done one of these in so long. I always want to, I just can't seem to make the time....I always copy the trigger photo, and that is as far as I get!

I decided to make a small set of cards. They could be used for Birthday, Wedding/Anniversary and Valentines Day...if you like....

BTW-These are all the same color...bad editing job on two shots... : /

Here's the Trigger...

Here's my take...

As you can see, I used a bunch of embossing folders...about 10 altogether!

After the fact I don't know what I didn't go lighter, or more varied. But my son liked them. He said they were elegant. So...I'm good... : )

...I Love You...

...Best Wishes...

...Happy birthday...

General Supplies: Paper bouquet linen paper by DMD, Metallic paper stack by DCWV, Rhinestones/ Walmart Best Occasions, Sizzix, Cuttlebug and Stampin Up embossing folders, Mini brad/JoAnn's Crafts
