She Sprouted Wings

I made this card just for me, literally!!! A while back I was cruizin’ around the blogs and saw that Unity had teamed up with Melody Ross to make a Brave Girl stamp set.  I had to have it!!!  And thankfully they were having a sale at the time!  So, with Brave Girl camp 18 days away, I decided to make a card for myself and right myself a letter about the things I want to achieve, the things that I want to work out, the things I want help with while I am at Brave Girl camp.  I’m so excited and honored to be going.  This will be such a great opportunity to meet some amazing women, especially Melody Ross!  What an amazing woman.

While I’m talking about Melody, take a minute to go to the Brave Girl website and sign up for her Daily Truth.  It’s a inspiration newsletter sent to your inbox every afternoon.  You won’t be disappointed.  She is an amazing woman.

I wanted to make the centerpiece of this card the lady with butterfly wings and the “She Sprouted Wings” sentiment.  She is what made me fall in love with this set!  I chose my favorite sentiments and used the ones that fit into the layout the best.  I’ve been holding on to the butterfly in the top left for just the right project and this one fit the bill.  The charm tied into the bow says believe—my mantra this year.  I really need to believe in myself more.  The other sentiments say “Now is the time” and “everything is going to work out just right.”

I’m going over to my stamping friend Lynne’s house because she and some other stamping friends are having a garage sale!!!  She said things are going really cheap so I can’t wait to see!!!  Then, I’m heading for to my niece, sisters and mom’s garage sale to help them out.

What do you have planned this weekend?  I hope it’s something fun!!!

Blessings,

Christine
