roses and cream...

A sweet, Spring night to you :)
I love the unwinding hours of the day....windows fly open to let in the cool evening air, the day is wrapped up with bath time and stories, and most of all looking back on the day...remembering the things I loved...memorizing certain moments...and promising myself to try harder, do better, and learn from the mistakes I made today.

I met a sweet new friend at the Reflections Event...her name is Debi, and it was such a treat to meet her. She brought me the most lovely package of vintage trims, buttons, and ribbons...I have been pouring over them and smiling as I think about the wonderful experience I had.  So today...a little card made using some her sweet trimmings...thank you Debi.

  One big favorite of mine right now is K&Company's Cut N Paste collection...the paper here is from this line....it's the kind of stuff I want to hoard...along with a bit of Jenni Bowlin, and a Basic Grey rubon.

Well....off to make some cookies to send with my little one tomorrow...she is setting off on a big adventure...one that is killing her mama as I am letting her go without me, but one that I know she will love and always remember.

Enjoy your Thursday.

Beautiful card! I just checked out the K&Company line you mentioned and I just added it to my "wishlist". I have been lately obsessing over their Madeline line too--it's wonderful!

Oh Melissa, This card is just gorgeous! so striking with the deep red against the cream! You are such an inspiration to me. I hope all goes well with the first day of schoo. It is so hard, yet you are so proud. It will be the first of many *Firsts* in your lives. the good news is, they come a little at a time. Take care.

Hugs ,

It's only fitting that your epxert hands would use sweet Debi's lovely trimmings to produce such a glorious card!
