A little message for my neice Cherye....
photo taken by me.{Read her blog-from the beginning, which isn't all that long ago, as she only recently started it} She is 16 and going through a pretty tough time (not your average teenage stuff). If you can offer her any encouragement or advice, please do so...she needs support and she needs to know there are others out there maybe who have gone or are going through a similar thing. It's hard enough being a teenager, having to cope with mood swings, confusion, raging hormones, without added issues that only make what should be an exciting time in your life, more complex and confusing. so please hop on over...
I Just wanted to show this card i made on the weekend for a friend who requested it, someone she knew was moving away...
I can't take credit for the lovely design, I got the idea from Cindy Lee, a blog I recently discovered. I love her card designs.I also recently did this paper scrap page of my daughter.
I used a plain card stock over and tore the edges and stuck some lace behind as well as some gorgeous rose paper i had for ages. I tried to stick to the colors in the photo's-the teal and pink tones.
And made this ribbon flower and circular swirl.
And yesterday I went and bought a piece of cork and a backing board and made my own cork inspiration board, Sooooo much cheaper than buying it already made. Will take photo's when my board is more full as the moment I only have 3 things on it!

Beautiful card, and gorgeous layout!
Hi Bonnie, lovely card and layout. Especially the texture in those hand-made flowers.
I just visited Cherye's blog. I feel so desperately sorry for her and how she is feeling. I will send her some encouragement. Does she still take her singing lessons? I hope so.
Your daughter is such a cuties...love this layout and how you used all the scraps.
Just left Cherye a "love note" on her blog and hope that she realizes how lovely she is...she just needs to lighten up on herself. But we all know how that is...easier said than done...we are all our own worst critics. Have a great weekend, fondly, Roberta
Only read this now! :-) Thanks Bon, very sweet. Also great creations! much love xo
