Love.....Thank yous



I met some pretty fantastic people a week ago and had an awesome night of dinner and drinks. We shared laughs and continued on to a Rockband jam session. The fun night leads me to my next blog and a new task for my life.

I am in the mood to challenge people to do something thoughtful for someone other than their immediate family or significant others. I feel like I’ve wasted much of my life being sucked into my own selfish habits that I forget to pull myself back to reality and make a connection with
real people. There was a time when i sacrificed my time for others and I want to spend a little time each day doing that again. I’m going to revolutionize my life and challenge you to be more thankful for the little things. The perfect way to start is with crafts!!

The card I made was inspiration from a collection of cards that I have been collecting in a folder and thought were really neat. I like to interpret them in my own manner and do the best I can with my resources. I used my baroque roller stamp from Stampin Up to start as a background for the card and also on the pots for the flowers. I made the flower pots by hand and outlined them with a black felt pen. I used my Copics markers to colour in the flowers. My favourite part about this card is the pop dots that I used to create some dimension. Try it sometime and make someone's day.

....and this is y u love me.

  1. Hey HotDot. I just logged onto FB and caught up with your posts. Noticed this one, and wanted to return the thanks. It was a great night. We should repeat it after y'all are settled in the new digs. I agree with your comments. It's nice to do a little something for someone else.
