Just Be Me

Happy Sunday to all! As I was looking for another stamp the other day I ran across this sentiment stamp that I won from Paper Makeup Stamps eons ago. Sadly they are no longer in business. I don;t think I have ever used it and I love the sentiment so I decided it was high time to get moving on it.

Just in case you can't read the card in the picture, the sentiment says:

I you're alone, 

I'll be your shadow. 

If you want to cray,

I'll be your shoulder.

If you want a hug,

I'll be your pillow.

If you need to be happy,

I'll be your smile.

But anytime you need a friend,

I'll just be me.

Isn't that a great focus for a friend card? I used the Tuesday Morning Sketch as my inspiration turned 90 degrees.

The background "doily" is cut with Spellbinder's Splendid Circles with a scrap of plain paper. The background paper is textured and also a scrap I had laying around. I inked the edges of the sentiment with Mustard Seed DI to match the card base and added some flower petals (from Dollar Tree) with some gems as centers for the flowers. I think it turned out really nice!

I am entering these challenges:

• Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch above
• The Friday Outlawz challenge: flowers
• Penny's Challenge: anything goes
• Scrapping4Fun challenge: anything goes
• Scribbles Designs: the power of words

I am off to get the twins for the day and they'll be here for dinner tonight so it will be busy. Hope your weekend has been lovely and you are looking forward to the week ahead. Take care.
