I live my life knowing that statement to be true! As for the flower, well, that was just pure fun! It's a digi image sheet from Fred, She Said! Tracey makes the most beautiful layered flowers that I just had to give it a go!
I used some foam dots to keep the layers from flattening. It's just glorious IRL! I know you'll want to pop over to the Fred,She Said store blog when you're finished here and checkout their other gorgeous images and papers! Fun stuff!
Now, onto the challenges...some were new to me, like the Digiments blog! They give you a FREE sentiment to download and use for their current contest. How cool is that?! They also have many more available to purchase! Another new challenge is Paper Popsicles, that's where this lovely sketch came from! So many of us know the sweet & talented Tenia N., well, she issues a fun challenge every other Saturday @ Jazzy Inspirations! It was a color challenge this time, teal, white, black and bright green! These other challenges I'm sure you're familiar with...Cute Card Thur~bling (I used a sparkly, glittered brad in my flower), Card-a-lious~flowers, ribbon & blue, The Pink Elephant~3 buttons, 2 layers & 1 sentiment, Banana Split Sunday~ribbon, and the Corrosive Challenge~flowers, sympathy. This card is actually not a sympathy card in the sense of death, it's more of an "I'm sympathizing with you during this really hard time you're having" kinda card! I know it will be appreciated!
Well, it was a joy to spend some time with you! I pray wellness, peace and much love over you! Be Blessed!
OK, now you can hop over to the Fred, She Said store and checkout the gorgeous digi flower sheets! Let me know what you think!

Wow! This is truly stunning! I love how you did the flower! And I love all the white space! Your right, the flower and sentiment say it all, and you don't need anything else. All the white really make the flower and sentiment pop. I love Fred, she said designs. They are one of my favorite Digital Image companies and I've purchased several of their Emma images. Just love them!
