Imagine a World

***For my Lawnscaping Blog Hop Post, please click here or scroll down!***


"Imagine a world without toy dinosaurs, or camping on bedroom floors. Imagine a world without the magic - of why,  or a cape on your back that makes you fly. Imagine a world without spacemen and then… Imagine a world without gannappolasses which we all know is a cross between giraffes and hippopotamus’s. Imagine a world without crayons on the wall,  or Daddy’s 10 feet tall. Imagine a world without tricycles and bicycles,  or hot summer days with melting grape Popsicle’s. Imagine a world without Cowboys and Indians and then…Imagine a world without gannappolasses,  which we all know is a cross between giraffes and hippopotamus’s. Imagine a world without tag and baseball, or red rover come over and lemonade for all. Imagine a world without ferries and Santa Clauses, or bunnies and baskets and no good causes. Imagine a world without skinned knees and chins and then… Imagine a world without gannoppolasses, which we all know is a cross between giraffes and hippopotamus’s. Imagine a world without laughter and smiles,  or braces with wire miles and miles.
Imagine a world without fireflies and ladybugs, or arms reaching up for good night hugs. Imagine a world without children and then…You can imagine a world without gannoppolasses,  which we all know is a cross between giraffes and hippopotamus’s." ~Bob Densmore





Happy World Card Making Day, my crafty friends! I couldn't imagine my world right now without all the friendships I've gained by being a part of the paper crafting industry. Thank you!

I've got an one layer card today that features the sweet Butterfly Kisses stamp set from The Craft's Meow. I started by stamping lightly the butterflies in the background and then the silhouette image and sentiment in a bright pink. I finished the card by adding a touch of color with markers to the wings and flowers.

  15. Beautiful card. So calm and quiet. I'm grateful for friendships too. It's hard to imagine crafting before the interwebz though :)

    PS-I made 6 cards today for Addison and her sisters! I need to re-read the sentiment guidelines before I make more though.
