The True Value of a Moment

I wasn't able to settle down today

and do anything that I should be doing,

so instead I decided to make a card just for a few challenges.

I always try to do a couple of my favorite challenges each week

and those are Dragonfly Journeys and Pixie's Snippets Playground.

I also have a goal to use up as much as I can this year

of scraps (snippets) and things I have already die cut and/or stamped.

In my little bag of 'black' scraps I had this pretty little verse

which holds so true for me this week with the loss of my precious

Nellie dog.

Along with that you will see the snippet of a doily behind it

which I probably should of tossed long ago,

but it came in handy for this card.

The frame was cut from a glossy piece that was packaging from

an embossing folder I had purchased.  I saved it as it has lines

running down it (which YOU can't see in the photo...but I can..lol)

The background paper is a scrap of an old SU paper.

I distressed the edges of it and kind of love the look.

I added a few sequins and a twine bow to finish.

Entering in the following challenges:

Dragonfly Journeys ....Black/White and/or Ivory

Pixies Snippets Playground .... Snippets
