Focus on the Good

Hi Folks,

I've popped on for a late night post to share a card I made this afternoon.  Iona was out at dance class, hubby was working and my aunt was watching another Christmas film so it seemed the perfect time to catch up with some crafting.

The focal point of my card is one of JMC Designs fab digi's Starlight Dakeri from the Cocktail Divas Collection.  I was lucky enough to attend a couple of Julia's Mixed Media Workshops and this amazing digi was in the goody bag I received!  Along with the image I've used some ancient Raspberry Road papers that were a magazine freebie and a vellum sentiment out of a bargain pad from The Works.  This sentiment should be my mantra.  It's all too easy to feel down when you're unwell or feeling frazzled and you forget about all the good things you have in your life.  And there really is a lot of good so that's definitely what I should be focusing on.

Materials Used:

Digi - JMC Designs - Starlight Dakeri

Promarkers

Papers - Raspberry Road Designs - Summer Goodness

Oval Nesting Die - X-cut

Square Nesting Die - Spellbinders

Border Die - Crafter's Companion

Sentiment - M&C Boutique @ The Works - Vellum Quotes

Cardstock, Buttons, Twine, Gems, Braid, etc all from stash

Anyway, I'd better head off to bed soon although I am on holiday this week and can sleep in for a bit in the morning if I want to.  Sounds like a good Monday morning to me and I'm focusing on the good remember!

Hugs,

Shona xx
