Heartfelt Creations Inspiration Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

That means it's time for a little inspiration  from Heartfelt Creations.

Before we get to my creation this week, I just wanted to express my sadness over the loss last week of one of our Design Teammates, Lisa Lynne Wright.  I haven't been on the team long enough to get to know Lisa, but I could already see her enthusiasm and encouragement in her comments to me and others.  I pray for her Husband Joe and her family through this difficult time.  It makes me realize how quickly one of our loved ones can be taken from us, and how I need to appreciate those loved ones in my life every day.

For my creation this week, I made a card using this beautiful flower swirl from the new Twining Roses Set from the Garden Romance Collection.  What a beauty to color and actually easy to fussy cut even though I didn't need to.  I put lots of white on this one with touches of lavender.  I really love how this one came out and I hope you do too.

Please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the Designers this week.

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

• Stampin' Sister's in Christ Challenge #143 - Something that Reflects Me
• Word Art Wednesday Challenge Challenge #33

Blessings!
