Let there be love

Image
Excuse the hand at the bottom but this is a gate-fold card (folds in middle) so I am holding it closed :-) my morning song (from the 6am, not 1am time) Michael Bolton LET THERE BE LOVE We've got the power, we've got the hunger for the search As we race across the heavens to embrace the universe In this hour and in truth what is it worth When we can't escape the madness We've created on this earth They say that money talks but you and I Know places money just don't say enough Let there be love where there is emptiness Let there be faith where hope is gone Let there be strength where there is helplessness And open eyes to see right from wrong We've gotta find a way to trust The very best in all of us Let there be love, let there be love We live divided behind imaginary walls Brother against brother, we just watch each other fall With hearts united we will never stand so tall Reachin' out to one another We'll find the meaning of it all Ain'...

... live together in perfect harmony. Seems like this song sorta goes with the sentiment on today's card. Actually took some time off yesterday from the "real" world and tried a few cards the Zindorf way. Why did I not upload one of those? Because they are still in the camera... sigh. On the other hand, it is TUESDAY and I am mostly well. Short on sleep and covered in some nasty ugly itchy rash, but well. LOL. On the plus side of that, found 2 shirts I was needing to go with 2 really hard to match skirts, so I am wearing one now. Keeps the legs from itching more if I keep clothing off of them. And, since I tried to cutoff my thumb, pants are too hard to button. And don't even ASK how I got my bra on! This card is simple.. DSP with a vellum butterfly die (Sizzix), a ribbon & a word stamp... tada! Off to work I go to see how much havoc appeared in my absence.

Meet Virginia

I have not actually met this Virginia, but maybe-just maybe- it is her birthday? This is a repurposed card, meaning I used some wrapping paper as the background and diecut the sentiment (Sizzix) and notched the corners, then attached the whole thing to a cardbase using brads. with that, I will leave you and go look for Virginia... or at least go get ready for work... She only drinks coffee at midnight When the moment is not right Her timing is quite unusual You see her confidence is tragic But her Intuition magic

I know, it is too late for St Patrick's Day cards, but since when did I follow conventional rules? I did a random shuffle as it is Friday, and this is what comes up. The other thing that comes up is that I have not made a single card all this week. Monday was a 'mental day' and a complete success... I even forgot it was payday! Tuesday was grocery shopping and household stuff. Wednesday was clinic, Thursday was massage and now, somehow, it is already Friday! Saturday will be Austin RCG's Spring Equinox so do feel free to join us if you are a woman over the age of 18 :-)

Card sentiment seems a bit off if you listen to the song (link in title)...but then again...maybe not. This is one of my fave cards, actually....

Life is a Waterfall

not sure I have ever woken up with System of a Down playing in my head, but oh well! The song has my 2 fave elements... air (Song title is actually Aerials) and water (falls). And the true point to the song is at the end, when you are reminded : When you lose small mind You free your life Aerials, so up high When you free your eyes eternal prize With that... Good morning! Today's card is made to fitin a #10 business envelope, in case you don't want your friend to know it is a card the moment the open the mailbox. Ppayed with Spellbinder dies and DTP (direct to paper) inking. Now, time to go play like I wanna be at work... (insert 7 dwarves singing "I owe, I owe, so off to work I go......")

"GOOD NIGHT, Mrs. Calabash--wherever you are!"

" GOOD NIGHT , Mrs . Calabash --wherever you are!" For years, Jimmy Durante ended his radio and television shows with that unusual sign-off. So, today.. here is mine... (thank you Rascal Flatts) Love who you love With all that you have And don't waste the time That flies so fast Love who you love And say that you do Hold on as tight as they'll let you Love who you love Give all you've got Like it's your last day Your heart and soul Before it's too late And pull them in so close Enough that they can feel it With every single breath that You're breathing Breathe it in again and again
