Never Give up


Hi friends, I hope everyone is doing well. Hearing the birds chirping away this morning and the sunshine streaming through the windows brightened my mood. After putting a load of laundry in, I set out to make a card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.



This chickadee stamp (Etsy) was just the right size for the circle opening I had die cut. When deciding on a sentiment, this one from Precious Remembrance Shop called my name. A few Carta Bella leafy sprigs added a little movement.
Sending hugs and happy thoughts to all of you!

Lisa, this little 'swing set bird' is just precious... I adore the soft blue of the sky you've blended for him! Perfect sentiment...No, we'll never give up!
As I read this, I have a Robin singing to me outside my window - we also saw a flock of Robins eating in the neighbors yard yesterday the likes of which we'd never seen - must have been 25 of them!
Keep them coming, my friend... feel better after every visit!

Watching the birds at my feeders always give me a lift, Lisa, and so does your cute little chickadee.
