Before my week turned topsy turvey (please say a prayer for my gravely ill grandaughter who has been in ICU for a week) I thought of all the kindnesses received from friends and family. Besides making cards, I enjoy creating a floral landscape in my front yard. A neighbor often provides me cuttings from her garden. With this Just Rite challenge - an act of kindness/thank you I thought to create a "May Basket" to leave on her door. I created the basket using a double folded flower cutout that I surrounded with an eyelet ruffle. I covered the base with a floral patterened paper and outlined it with a bit of May Arts gold cord. A dull red scalloped circle was placed in the center and (look closely) embellished with "stitching". I used blue Imaginisce and Prima flowers and 2 blue rhinestone swirls to create my garden. Tucked into my basket is a packet of Morning Glory seeds (we enjoy sharing a cup of coffee in the morning sometimes) and a card which thanks her for her friendship. The card uses May Arts ribbon, Dew Drops, paper rose, and Just Rite stamps (than you and flower on patterned paper). A hanging tag complete this RAK using Just Rite stamps (border and sentiment), Tim Holtz acyrlic tag, Copic Markers and May Arts ribbon.
For this project, I used Just Rite Stamps from: You Inspire Me and Plant a Little Love Set.
May you also reap the harvest from seeds of kindness!...
Lynn this is lovely. I know your friend will appreciate your kindness. I have said a prayer for your granddaughter, and I will continue to pray for her and your family.
