This has been a rather quiet week so far. There's nothing pressing to get done, I don't need groceries until Friday and the kids are enjoying the sunshine. I've had some time to reflect on my relationships that make "my life a beautiful thing" and those that, unfortunately, don't. I've concluded that it's time to focus more energy and strength into those healthy friendships rather than wasting my time worrying about the negative ones. Life's just too short. With these thoughts in mind I was inspired to use the stamp set "A Beautiful Thing".
I did a lot playing with this 2nd sketch for Mojo's 100th. It was easy enough to mix it up and I was able to create 3 different cards all using that MS edge punch that Moe gave me. The last card was of course the one that came out the best (and yet still not as great as I would have liked). Practice does make perfect. I'll have to ask Moe how she gets her bows so perfect and if any of you have any tips please share.
Below, I've also included a second card I made based on this sketch except without the ribbon. This is just to give you an idea how it looks without ribbon. It's a little plain but I wanted to bring more attention to the circles and make it fun not fancy.
Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you enjoyed. Have a fabulous day!

Yay! Love the punch on these cards...it's a perfect match to the paper:) Wide ribbon is tricky to tie with...it sometimes takes me 10 or more tries to get a bow right...I think I've figured out a good way with the 1/2" ribbon, will have to practise with the wider stuff.
