B-E-L-I-E-V-E

Hello my blog friends!


Well, have you enjoyed this month's release from My Time Made Easy??  I hope you have been inspired :0)

This card was the first project I created when I received my stamps.  I love letters and words, so I was very excited about this release!  A single word can be so powerful, and hold such meaning.  I love how one simple word, Believe, can mean so many different things.

 Believe in God, believe in miracles...believe in Santa!  But this card I made for a very special friend...and I want her to believe in herself :0)
 The monogram letters are from Monograms Defined, as well as the smaller "believe" along the bottom.  I very lightly colored the flowers with my Copic markers, and drew the dots between the words.  Tied with a simple ribbon, and a scattering of pearls for an accent.
I wanted to share my "power bracelet" as I call it.  "Believe" is a special word to me too, along with other words that keep me grounded and focused.  I simply look down, and one of "my words" reminds me of what is truly important in life.  Check out The Vintage Pearl for information on their jewelry!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Great card - I believe in the power of words myself and believe is one of my power words! I like the way you added "in yourself"!

Believe is a powerful word... My "go-to word" is hope. When my son was diagnosed with autism I bought those little angel coins at the hospital gift shop that have a word engraved on one side... I have hope, strenght, faith... they are scattered, in my car, in my wallet... and when I fall upon one I take a minute to focus on that word and try to find peace and solace in it... So I understand your bracelet... <3
