Verse Challenge

The challenge this week for my Blogger Group 2 is to make a card featuring a quote or a verse. I always think about doing this when I see the quote stamps at the store but never actually do it. I collect random quotes in a little notebook that I carry in my purse and I have several stamps with quotes that really say something to me.  Carmen issued this challenge for our group and I really enjoyed playing along. In addition to enjoying quotes, I am fascinated by how one person ends up in the life of another and how past experiences then can later effect people that have never met. This quote really reminds me of the influence that I might have on the people I come in contact with on a daily basis. Hopefully the parts of me that get carried to different paths are always positive. For instance, my friend Kay invited me to a CTMH workshop one day, I met Julie and she showed me how much fun stamping was, then I send cards to people and make them happy, even though Kay and Julie have never met that person, their influence on me has helped me make someone happy. Same thing with my friend Angela, she has encouraged me and taught me so much and in turn I have tried to pass along some of that knowledge and friendship to others. It reminds me of that game with Kevin Bacon, Six Degrees of Separation! To wrap up that long story there, I really like this quote because it really gets to the point that our actions don't necessarily stop with one interaction, they keep going. I used my square and scalloped square Nestabilities and then used my paper piercer to pierce the holes. The stamp is from Stampendous, the ribbon is from Target and the paper is from 7 Gypsies pack that I got last week at Bev's store. 

It is Wednesday so it is the day I let one of the girls post some of their cards. Here is Samantha: I colored the panda with brush tip markers and I did the clouds with a glitter pen. Then after I glued everything on, we punched two butterflies and we bent the wings so it looks like they landed on my paper and that they are flying. We punched the flowers and I put the light flowers on top of the dark pink flowers and I made a field and an a b pattern. Samantha's card used a Memory Box stamp, the Marvy scalloped square punch, a Fiskars butterfly punch and a flower punch. Have a great night!
