Week #2 Sketch Challenge

I used the sketch challenge to create my grand-daughter's birthday card (she just turned 16, but loves vintage).  Product Used:  "Easter Blossom," "Baby Blossoms," and "Elements of Style" stamp sets; "Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper and Fabric"; "Scallop Circle and 31/2" Circle Big Shot Dies"; "Scallop Trim Border Punch"; "Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder"; "Frost White Shimmer Paint"; and "Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, and Very Vanilla Card Stock."



Inside of the card.

I never realized until I was doing this post that I used the same designer paper and embossing folder as I did for last week's challenge.  Do you think maybe that's because I love both!!  Yes, but honestly, I did not even realize I was using the same product.  My grand-daughter, Holly, loved it.  She is an "old soul" and has been her entire 16 years.  She loves, loves to come over and look at my ancestor's pictures, books, and everything I have (which is lots) from my ancestors.  Every once in a while, I will give her something that means a lot to me and it just melts my heart because she gets all teary and sentimental with happiness.  Sunday when we took her out for her birthday dinner, all her jewelry was family vintage, and she also asked me to make her and her friends more vintage fabric flower hair clips (they all want one now because she has started a trend at school).  Here is a picture of her:


She thinks she studies better with her fake glasses on!

I have been so very blessed to have such kind and caring children and grandchildren.  They may not live their everyday life the way I would, but they have to find their own paths.  All I can do is be there, show by example, and pray.  So far, all my prayers have been heard, but not necessarily answered in the way or time I would have thought they should.  God does work in mysterious ways!

Thank you so much for stopping by, please take a minute to leave a comment.  I love hearing from all of you.
