Cosmo Trees

DSCF5110

I have been feeling rather down today, which is an indication that I am thinking of myself too much, so I decided to make a card to make someone else feel better. I got some new Cosmo Cricket 6x6 Mini Deck papers called Early Bird---such fun patterns & colors! I used Mercy's sketch shown here:

and pulled out a favorite that I haven't used in a while, Trendy Trees:

SUPER card LeAnne! I almost used Trendy Trees for my sketch card. It works perfectly in the circles and I love the dp you've used with it. Hopefully, creating this card lifted your spirits! Keep smiling, my friend! :)

Sketches like this with a repeated pattern just freeze up my mojo, but you did awesome with it! NOW I'm totally inspired! LOVE the Early Bird paper, and love how you did the sentiment, too! Maybe I should just stay home and stamp today?

I'm sorry you're not feeling too chipper, but hopefully that will quickly pass and you'll be back on top of the world again soon! This is one of my favorite stamp sets and I don't use it nearly enough! I love what you've done with it here. It's just cheerful in every sense of the word :)Wonderful colors in keeping with the sketch!! Love it!

I am SO lonesome now. There's no reason to make cards....I've lost my inspirations. I just come here and enjoy through osmosis.
