IC373 Life Happens

Photo Details

Poster: BarbieP

Today, SmilynStef gave us a site that had many purses to choose from (OctoPurse). I chose this purse as my inspiration:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/92299338...-double-metal?

The color on the striped paper is actually lime green, but not sure it shows up that well in my upload.

The bg is an ef by TH with clocks - not sure you can tell - but it really does :) I sanded the paper to highlight the numbers and dials. I then added the sentiment. I guess now that I am MUCH older, and after this past year - I realize just how important it is to spend our time wisely - otherwise life passes us by.

This also fits WT411 challenge - Be Timely.

Thanks for looking, hope you like it :)

I love it! I love the colour combo and the wonderful sentiment as well as the clock embossing and the die cut mats and circular clip.

A so true sentiment, Barb, on this lovely card. I like your gray and yellow color choices with the striped DP and embossed bg. A wonderful card for both challenges.

You are a very wise woman, Barbie! It's too bad it takes us most of our lives to realize the important things and what really matters most. This is a wonderful masculine card, if that's who you choose to send it to.
