Happy Friday! :)
My friend asked me to make her a set of 10 cards using this adorable fairy image from My Favorite Things' Pure Innocence line. This is one of the cards I made, and I used the sketch from the:
Cardabilities Sketch Challenge
Colors are SU! Rose Red and Pretty Pink, I paper-pieced her dress.
Check out TiddlyInks challenge blog today - this card below is featured today as a Fabulous Inky Friday find :
This card is for one of Christy's (the artist) friends, who is turning 40 next month. I used SU! colors in Whisper White, Basic Black, and Real Red.
So I stumbled across this blog the other day and I was inspired. I decided to do something along the same lines... I want to compliment someone every day for the next 2 weeks. I started yesterday - it has to be someone random, and it has to be a genuine compliment that will make the person feel good... not just "oh I like your shirt." For example, yesterday I was on Facebook and an old friend from high school posted something, which made her picture pop up on my wall. I thought to myself "gosh, she's so pretty - she gets prettier every time I see a picture of her!" Then I thought to myself "why do we THINK things like this, but rarely actually SAY it?" So I did - I posted a comment on her Facebook wall saying exactly that - "every time I see a picture of you, you get prettier and prettier." And you know what? She wrote back on MY wall thanking me, and saying that I made her day. That made ME feel good. See where I'm going with this? Making other people feel good is contagious... So I'm going to keep it up - for at least 2 weeks, I will do that every single day. I'll let you know what happens. Peace.
