Hello friends!
It has been a bit chaotic in our household in recent weeks. A while back we had a slab leak which was repaired early on, but the damaged wood floor was another story. Finally last week the floor guys came to remove the warped wood and deliver replacement wood which has to acclimate for a while before they return to install it. That meant lots of furniture moving and living with things out of place, crowded and in the way, or inaccessible for a while. Suffice it to say that with all of that going on, I needed a little attitude adjustment! And it's not even over yet! We don't know yet when they'll be back to finish!
So that is what inspired this card made for someone who might need a reminder as I did! A gentle nudge to take the time to be grateful and to find the beauty in every day, because it is right there before our eyes if we shift our perspective and take the time to see.
I've noticed lots of pumpkin patches popping up in and around town, and while they're filled to the brim with the usual orange pumpkins, there are also a few of the pale white-green ones that are sometimes a little "warty." I find them quite lovely and a bit fascinating, warts and all! Since these papers have a pop of that pretty, soft teal color, I decided to color one of my pumpkins in that hue. That soft color really makes the adjacent orange really pop!
While the outside of the card uses stamps from the Fall/Winter Seasonal Wreaths set, the sentiment on the inside is from the Spring/Summer version.
