Being creative is such a wonderful release from the every day work and worries. I find inspiration from Pinterest, Facebook groups and then from some inspiring figures such as Jennifer McGuire and Gina K. This card is all Jennifer’s fault! Here is the link to her video so you can blame her afterwards as well!

My final card is my favorite creation this week. Things I hold dear to my heart include my home and all that live and visit there, my self worth and knowing that I am someone important to a few people even when the devil wants you to believe different. Lastly, I can choose where I want my life to go. Every day. I hope you enjoy this one! You have all been so gracious this week, I appreciate every one of you!


Stamped and heat embossed Clara Girl on some Neenah 110lb cardstock.
Fussy cut, color her and set aside. I used Copics.




Make sure you leave enough room on the bottom (or top) to place a sentiment.







I added some acetate to the back of her head to make her more sturdy. Can you see the floating white flower and butterfly on the bottom?

I hope you love her as much as I do. Thank you so much for all your support and comments. Make sure to leave comments on my projects to win some Unity goodies.
Much love,
Charmaine

Charmaine what a wonderful journey we’ve been on with you this week thank you for all the inspiration. I agree with you about the alcohol ink crazy but they always turn out great. My 7 year old granddaughter calls them splats cause of the way they spread. You inspired me to write my first blog as you saw. I now have ideas buzzing around my head and I’m so excited about this new direction this journey called life is taking me. 💜 I look forward to you’re continuing posts😘
