Today is a bittersweet day...and it's with a heavy heart that I am posting today! I have a special card to post and for me it has extra special meaning today. It's an 'I Love You' card and I am posting it to remind myself....and all my friends and family to always cherish every moment in life, especially with those you LOVE!
This card was started with a challenge in mind and based the colors and image were also based on this challenge. When I first started it, I did not have a theme in mind -- I just knew I wanted to create a sweet little card with a cute little image from By Lori Designs. I saw the new challenge over on her Challenge Blog, which you can find HERE! It's a color challenge and this is a copy of the colors from the challenge blog --
I had been browsing Lori's store, looking at some of the cute new images and that was when I found this new challenge and knew I wanted to play along. I also did a bit of shopping, (of course), and added a few more of her wonderful digis to my collection. The image I chose for this card is actually one of Hannah's Bug &Roo images, which you can find in the store HERE!!
This is sweet little Addeline and this is the card that I created and am submitting to the challenge. It's a card I named --'I Love You'.
I decided to make this card an I Love You card, after finding out that a dear friend, has been though a horrible tragedy this week! I wanted to find some way to tell her how much I care and how sorry I am for all that she is going through. She's such a wonderful person -- one of the most kind and caring people I've ever met. I am so sad that she is experiencing such heartache now and only wish I had some magical way to make her feel better or to take away her pain. I can only pray and keep her in my thoughts and let her know how much that I love her.
I think it's so important to always try and remember just how short our lives can be and I want to also remind everyone to be sure you always tell the people you LOVE, how much you LOVE them and to share that every day! We all get caught up in life at times and forget how important these words are. A Hug, A Kiss and the three little words -- 'I Love You' - will always make my day!
Hugs and Love to all!!
