Sometimes things don't turn out as planned. And we feel disappointed. Lamenting on our misfortune [Chaucer-style no less...*LOL*]. But sometimes we should just go with the flow....who knows what unexpected surprises may be in store for us right?
Case in point: last week when I was in Sydney. I couldn't get a table at my fave seafood restaurant at The Rocks because it was Valentine's Day. Bummer. The concierge did make alternative dinner arrangements at a restaurant at Darling Harbour. Oh well, it's just one meal right?
A big one though...*LOL*
And at 9pm, I was treated to 10 minutes of the most spectacular fireworks display ever. :) Sometimes things don't turn out as planned....but way better!!! *winks*
The card was inspired by the sketch at CPS.
Supplies: Lily Bee patterned papers, Crate Paper Chipboard, Maya Road trim and trinket, American Crafts ribbon, button, tulle, handmade loopy felt blooms.
P/s: Have a spectacular weekend friends! Come play along with my guest Rose's patterned paper challenge! :)

ReplyDeleteLoving this card, Yvonne! Love the cluster of embellishments...and the little bit of tulle tucked behind the flower! Thanks for playing along with CPS sketch 253!!
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked out even better, fireworks are always fun! Sweet card too!
ReplyDeleteSPECTACULAR!!! Looooove that diner shot- I wouldn't eat it right off- I may have to stare at it for a while just to take it all in. The card is really wonderful. I have one of those Pink Paislee flowers and thought it wasn't usable because it pops out so much- leave it to you to ROCK IT OUT. The pin and layered chipboard detail- just perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little card! Yup! Sometimes things turn out differently then we planned!
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOOOOOO beautiful, Yvonne! I love that gorgeous felt flower. Isn't that sweet??
