I have a card to share with you that I made for the new CR84FN color challenge. I was so excited when I saw all the new My Minds Eye Lost and Found 6x6 packs of paper. I had to order them all. I used the new Sunshine pack for this one. LOVE the papers and I am afraid I am an addict.
Again I used the new Iconic Images set from PTI. I wanted to use the sketch at Mojo Monday and was in need of a smallish image to fit inside the doily die. The beautiful Silhouette was perfect.
OMGoodness! Read the quote Scott found for the graphic this week. I totally live by this rule. I would be a mess if I worried about everything that comes around. I have to tell this to myself a lot. I used to suffer from severe anxiety after my son was born and found that if I live by this rule I can keep myself in line. I even had to go to the emergency room because I thought I was having a heart attack. I wore a heart monitor for a few days and found out that it wasn't my heart...it was anxiety. I tell ya, worry and stress can and will make you physically sick. When I look at these colors I think of a bright beautiful sunny day. Who can stress about that?

Heather - brilliant card. Love the papers, the sweet doily and cameo - it's all just fab.
It seems that Scott's quote has appealed to us all - and it's certainly something I try to live to. Take care, x
Beautiful creation dear.
I've just returned from my holidays and have been admiring the cards you have made in the last few weeks, they are all so gorgeous and so elegant! Beautiful, all of them!!
hugs, Marlies
I am glad you had a relaxing and lovely day; life is so busy and we are always in a hurry. It's good to sit and relax now and than...

Such a stunning card. Love how you placed the silhouette inside the doily. All the yellow just pops!!
Very striking! Love the pretty doily you added behind the silhouette.
Totally gorgeous Heather! I adore the papers you've used and that silhouette!
This is so pretty, Heather! Gorgeous stamp! In the first photo, I thought the card was orange, but in the second it's yellow, hi hi. Seeing the inspiration photos, I think it's yellow! ;-D But I love it in either color, just beautiful!
hugs, Wendy
Positively GORGEOUS Heather!!! WOW! Love your use of the cameo image! The DP is fabulous!
I try {try} to live by that rule as well. Some days it works better than others!!! I've also been trying in recent years to not worry about things before they happen (i.e. don't anticipate the worst possible scenario before you have more information). Again, it works most days and I'd like to think I'm happier for it. Anxiety can reek havoc on your physical and mental health for sure.
What a fabulous card. I love the mix of papers and your intrepretation of the layout. That cameo is perfect.
gorgeous, heather!! love your corner bow and mme papers! have a great evening:)

This may be my favorite yet! Well done. Of course!
That paper IS pretty and you've made such a beautiful card with it! I love that you've put together so many things with dots...the designer paper, the doily, the border punch, and even the silhouette on a circle. Goes along with all the spools in the CR84FN challenge perfectly. Glad you had such a nice, lazy day Saturday. We all need one of those every now and then. ;)
Heather, this is BEAUTIFUL! I love the image and the card's antique look. Just amazingly beautiful.
This is just beautiful Heather!!! I could NOT wait to see all these new papers in person.....my local scrapbook store got them in Friday and I ran to see them. I could have easily taken them ALL home but this one and a couple of others came home with me.....something about the yellow!
Perfectly LOVELY in EVERY way!!!
Thanks for your visit and sweet comment. Love your card, very elegant. I am not ready for fall, would just like to enjoy summer a little longer. While it lasts...
Beautiful card, Heather! Love the mix of pretty patterns and the lovely silhouette!
This is absolutely DELIGHTFUL!!! I just adore polka dots (this paper is now on my must have list) and the lovely cameo...I think I need something like that too!!! Thanks so much for the inspiration :)
Very pretty card Heather! Love that dotted dp with the cool Silhouette!
LOVE the silhouette, Heather, and that newsprint background! This is so PRETTY! LOVE the polka dots, too!
