I have so much vellum I could build a room out of it so it's good to see fun ways to use some. As for that sentiment...ugh....that's one that I just really don't care for but pops up everywhere. I have a few pet peeve sentiments that I wish would go away but there's always ignoring it!Karenladdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17392815855900173356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554258413926007465.post-31616909282127364732013-09-22T07:30:15.033-04:002013-09-22T07:30:15.033-04:00What a wonderful card!

I agree with yo and everyone else that sometimes the sentiments you get are kind of hard to use and don't make much sense. :-). I often don't even use them cause I can't make them work for my card.Kim Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591172811732062226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554258413926007465.post-82341644240203213412013-09-18T21:26:51.803-04:002013-09-18T21:26:51.803-04:00great card! totally agree on wacky sentiments. n...great card! totally agree on wacky sentiments. no clue what to do with so many of them!Joan Bhttp://www.imakeitalk.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554258413926007465.post-50771252202203900592013-09-18T02:56:03.694-04:002013-09-18T02:56:03.694-04:00Such a handsome card!

The sentiment is a bit too literal, I think. It actually has a Biblical origin (I Googled!) and your card could stand alone without one!donna mikasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014038428878460754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554258413926007465.post-34013949528253314652013-09-17T07:54:46.501-04:002013-09-17T07:54:46.501-04:00Oh luv, that card just sings! I love it. And the...Oh luv, that card just sings! I love it. And the thread for the buttons - freaking genius!! I love the colors and the images and your creativity and reading your thought process. As for the sentiment - I believe it's meant for encouragement - say for someone who just moved, just changed jobs, just got separated, just had any change in their lives, most especially for people who really didn't want the change, like if the partner got sent to another city/state/country for a new job and the person to whom you are sending the card had to go along : ) Any which way, it's gorgeous - that veggie print with the doily are exceptionally nice together - you may want to play around with that pairing again.

I, too, enjoy your comments on the thought process your mind goes thru during the making of the card and maybe some after thought. What things you love and maybe what didn't quite make the 'cut'. Thank you!<br /><br />Hey, did you add any more lime green accents somewhere on the front of your house? Just wondering what you ended up on doing.Pam Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554258413926007465.post-9853145869637046112013-09-16T22:12:54.996-04:002013-09-16T22:12:54.996-04:00Richard, I love the card - it's very cool! I&...Richard, I love the card - it's very cool! I've always taken the sentiment to simply mean "accept things as they are". So it could be encouragement for someone, too. I like the vellum just a little smaller because it very gently hits at another mat. Another layer. The tip about using cardstock to thread the buttons is a winner-winner-chicken-dinner!! I never thought of that and YES it would be easier for my poor old eyes that don't focus right any more!

I am sometimes perplexed by the sentiment, too( can you imagine it's your 2nd language!?). I often used it in the obscure background (say, tone on tone) if I don't know what to do with the sentiment..and still like to use it! Your card is quite lovely actually. The layering takes a lot of creativity and thoughts (obviously ) and it's sure to be treasured! Love the addition of the vellum and buttons!Virginia L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14527234347045645973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554258413926007465.post-52256221078885195742013-09-16T15:17:41.547-04:002013-09-16T15:17:41.547-04:00I think that it means that you're supposed to ...I think that it means that you're supposed to grow or thrive wherever you are at in your situation or phase of your life that you're currently experiencing.<br />Ah...what the heck do I know?

Some things that we crafters consider WAY cool, they might think, 'what a mess', or 'need to get that girl a pair of scissors, so she doesn't have to tear her edges'...lol. Anywho..................great card! And yes, that vellum showing through is too much fun! You are so stinkin' creative - always thinking outside the box! Great card, and one day you will have a need for just that sentiment!Patti Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895474215420399958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554258413926007465.post-37610206601636885252013-09-16T10:47:46.032-04:002013-09-16T10:47:46.032-04:00Very pretty card!!!Love the stamp set,I got some g...Very pretty card!!!Love the stamp set,I got some good deals from Hobby Lobby!!!Have a Good week!!!Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169390632024438766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554258413926007465.post-1515785145069200682013-09-16T10:44:26.210-04:002013-09-16T10:44:26.210-04:00Adorable card and yes, I am OFTEN perplexed on sen...Adorable card and yes, I am OFTEN perplexed on sentiments and who their intended recipient should be!!Michelle Woernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342499320968019988noreply@blogger.com
