Yep... You read that right!! The awesome Emma at My Creative Time is having a Design Team call! I was beyond excited when I read her post and my mind starting going in all directions. Her stamps are amazing and although I only have one set, I still wanted to apply!
The set I have is called Race For a Cure. The words on it are so meaningful, and can be used in so many facets of life. In August of 2010, my Mom was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease, also known as ALS. She was given two years to live, and when I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to have it. The sentiment "Today Matters" has never been more true in my life. My entry for the Design Team Call is a treat bag I made for my Mom. She is such a fighter, and I have learned so much about respecting each day we're given and making it matter. Thanks Mom, for showing me that no matter what life throws our way, we can make the best of it.
For the box, I used Tags, Bags, Boxes & More.
The paper was from DCWV "The Dots, Stripes & Plaids" stack
The scallop on the bottom of the box was cut from the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge.
The paper was from Lasting Impressions the color is "Weathered Black" (My fave!)
The tag shadow is also on "Weathered Black"
The Tag was cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes & More using Lasting Impressions color "Sweet Tomato - Solid". The flower is also from TBBM, using "Sweet Tomato - Solid".
I used the My Creative Time's Race For a Cure set for the tag, and the tissue paper. I used the sentiments "Courage", "Faith", "Believe", and "Today Matters" for the tissue.
Other supplies were brads, ribbon and rhinestones.
Thank you so much for visiting today. I sincerely appreciate it!!
