Over on the Moxie Fab World blog, the current Tuesday Trigger is all about 'By the Numbers'. When I saw the charming quilt with the field of random numbers, I couldn't help but think about those Cosmo
Cricket 'Joy Ride' numbers. So to celebrate 2012 and the journey it brings, I designed a card for a dear friend who has been very brave this year, journeying onward and into the next chapter of her life. And while the road has had lots of twists and hair bending turns, I am confident she'll also find smooth straights ahead.
The Amuse sentiment : The journey is the Reward was inked along the side of my card. I used the sketch from SplitcoastStampers SC366 for the layout. A piece of upholstery fabric along the side (actually from my friend) and the bottom horizontal panel crimped. The 'T' charm was created with a Tim Holtz fragment. The 2012 numbers are from Crafty Secrets.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I encourage you to stop now, close your eyes, take a deep breath and slowly exhale...and pause....Happy Fresh New Year!
Blessings for today,
Susan

I absolutely love the sentiment you chose and in reality, it's a concept I should take to heart. Your card and post was captivating and found myself not only reading it twice but moving the screen back and forth between writing and card. Thank you also for the comment you left on my blog, I have joined your site and look forward to reading more from you!
