I fell in love with this Salt Air paper from Cosmo Cricket the moment I saw it in a preview and couldn't wait to order it. It's just so happy and colorful. I chose the leaf sprig from Great Friend to coordinate with the paper, and made my own background for the Jeremiah 29:11 verse using daffodil delight and peach parfait ink. The edges are sponged with Vintage Photo ink and I used a QuicKutz Nesting Label for the shape.
I gave an honest effort at reconnecting with my estranged sewing machine, but don't look too closely - it wasn't a happy reunion for either of us! {grin} For the diagonal ribbon, I wrapped some yummy fibers from a new Etsy shop I tried out .. bluehollow. Then added a tag using the Embossed Oval Die stamped with the Hope sentiment from Richly Blessed. For accent I added some orange rhinestones and a triple pearl stick pin from Pizzazz Aplenty, as well as a metal photo corner from my stash.
Well, I'm on day 8 of my no-good, very-bad cold, which after seeming to zap the very life from me this last week, has now left me with out a voice and a healthy dose of excruciating ear pain. So I'm hoping to get in to see the doctor today, then it looks like another day of hanging out in bed. Hope y'all are staying healthy!

Beautiful, Julee! I love how you've made your own background for your sentiment layer.

This is so pretty! You know, hanging around yours and Teresa Kline's blogs is starting to give me a better eye for great papers. I just bought those same papers a couple of weeks ago! :)

Love the bold colors and distressed edges. I totally understand about the sewing machine. Sometimes me and mine don't get along either. :)
Thanks for a great sketch.
Just lovely, Julee! Love the papers, distressing and wonderful fibers!
This is gorgeous! I love these papers too. I haven't opened my package of them yet but I hope to soon. I got a good chuckle out of your sewing machine story. I'm not in love with mine right now either. Actually I LOVE that you don't sew (or haven't been much lately) because that blasted machine intimidates me and your cards are so gorgeous they don't need it. :) It's great inspiration for those of us that are sewing challenged.
I love the paper! I'm definately going to try using string in this way.
