Sending Whimsical Greetings

So I took the sketch and dressed it up a bit! The point of a sketch is that starting place! I got inspired and one thing lead to another. I loved the outcome.

The butterfly stamps are by Jillibean Soup! LOVE THEM! As is the patterned paper! I couldn’t resist coloring them to match my paper 😀 The sentiment is designed by my friend Jessica-it is called  Butterfly Wishes. Of course you know I LOVE IT too.

Posting this card today made me happy. Just what I needed!

I have had a lot going on, and have so many new things to come. During this time of change, to me, butterflies mean so much! They signify change, time beginning and ending, a journey, and hope (to me anyway!). I feel like this is an ever evolving theme of my life! Always a journey I will take with NO regrets! I have prayed a lot about certain things in my life as of late. I believe God has answered me too. May not be what we want to hear, but when we get to where we are going, it will all make sense. I trust him. We always have to remember that everything has a purpose. I truly believe that. The good, the bad and everything in between. Sometimes change is good. Sometimes what we think was bad, was later for the best!

I have so many BIG hopes and dreams. I am always setting new goals. I woke up with a fabulous feeling today! I am not just a dreamer, I am a do-er. Nothing is just handed to us. I work hard in everything I do. I know nothing is impossible with God,  faith, hardwork, and a little confidence doesn’t hurt either! All that being said (I swear I didn’t mean to pour it all out like that!) if you are having a difficult time, are facing change or need a change…. remember that the journey of a 1,000 miles begins with a single step!

Till tomorrow
