Happy Labor Day my crafty chickas….It’s Monday and I’ve enjoyed having that extra day off….. I’m hoping to do a lot of card making in the haven today. I finally finished a project for my Brother he recently got a new job and I wanted him to share this quote with him to place on his desk……………
“Life is like a camera….
Focus on what’s important,
Capture the good times,
Develop from the negatives, And if things don’t work out, Take another shot”………
I just love this quote it’s so true even in paper crafting sometimes we have to take another shot because sometimes that card you were working on just didn’t turn out the way you expected….. I’m playing over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog this morning so here’e my take on the sketch…hope you like and enjoy the rest of your day!
