You Are Beautiful ... Love, Hope & Faith

Hello Friends!  Hope you're enjoying your weekend so far!  Today we had such wonderful weather, I wish it would stay this way every single day!

Well, I made this card over a week ago .. I've been neglecting my blog!  lol!  This card does not have a stamped image, but instead features a large Prima rose sprinkled with crystals.  This rose was plain, and I thought, "Hmmm .. jazz it up somehow?"  Then I remembered somewhere on Dena's blog there was something where she put huge amounts of glitter or crystals on her flowers and I loved it!!!!  Thank you Dena for the inspiration!!!

It's been almost a year since I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer .. can you believe it?  yep yep yep.  We've come a long way haven't we?  :)

So this was made in honor of those that have cancer .. to remind them of how BEAUTIFUL they still are.  To remind them that they are completely LOVED, to remind them to Hold HOPE with both hands, and to Keep the FAITH......

Very simple card, but the meaning is there ...

Thank you so much for visiting me, I love it when you do.  :)  Have a wonderful weekend.

Hugs,
Elise

Hello my sweet Elise, I was touched when I read your post. A year has gone by... and we remained in touch. I'll celebrate this, and LIFE it'self. Your card is totally divine. What a great idea to jazz up this beautiful flower. I love the nice border with the 3 little flowers and those precious words. Your paper is totally beautiful, and perfect. Sending you love and beautiful sunshine and crisp autumn air in Montreal this morning.
