Hey All,

 

Yesterday was once again a sad day for our nation, they bombing of the Boston Marathon. It actually affected ALL nations seeing as I believe I heard 90 nations compete in it. And I just awoke to the news that a poor, innocent, 8 year old boy from Dorchester was one of those that was killed. Makes me wanna hug my 8 year old all the much more! I just hope that we can find whoever did this, and have it bring justice to all those who were affected by this senseless tragedy yesterday!

 

After being as upset as I was yesterday, I decided to make a card to remind myself their is always gonna be Sunshine and Happiness the next day. It will still hurt, but you have to keep moving forward to feel good again. I hope that makes sense what I am saying.

 

Here is the quick card I created:

 

 

DCWV October Afternoon Mat Stack

Studio G Stamp Set

1 inch circle punch-Stampin' Up

Label Punch-Stampin' Up

Heart and Cloud Washi Tape-Washi Tape Guy

Pool Party, Tangerine Tango, and Pacific Blue Ink Pads-Stampin' Up

 

 

This card took me 5 minutes. I challenged myself, and I made it happen! I will be starting something new for us card makers out there that have SOOOO many tools and embellishments that we get overwhelmed. I am going back to basics with card making! I will be sharing in my post tomorrow, so be sure to check it out!

 

Crafty Hugs and Prayers for Boston and all those affected! 

Hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!
