In Life's Garden

Count your garden by the flowers
Never by the leaves that fall;
Count your days by golden hours;
Don't remember clouds at all;
Count you nights by stars not shadows
Count your life by smiles not tears.
And to bring you joy this day
Count your age by friends not years.

It always amazes me the amount of coordinating patterned paper in the kits, and this month is no exception. I used a small strip from one sheet and pieces of cardstock, along with a stamp from the stamp set from the kit to make this card. I tied everything together with ink distressed edges and some May Arts Natural Burlap String.

Did you know that Artful Delight also offers a monthly sketch challenge too?  It is where you create a project using either the card or scrapbook sketch for a chance to win a kit. My card uses the card layout. Check out the details here!
