I was having an email conversation with someone this morning, and she has a lot on her plate just now. So I thought I'd make a quick card while dinner cooks, and pop it in the mail on Monday.
Of course, being a CAS card it wasn't quick, since I got a glue spot on the first one just as I had finished everything, and had to start again.
I wasn't sure whether it would be visually more powerful with the top of the wall in sight - or no end. Sometimes in life it feels as if there is no end in sight to whatever we are going through just now, so I took my brick wall right up to the top, and added a strip of grass border that was on my desk. Snails coloured with pencils and fussy-cut.

Wonderful card with a timely message for everyone - because we all hit that brick wall at some point. And I thought the idea of taking the wall to the top of the card was a good one -- life is composed of hills and valleys and we can be sure there will be a brick wall in our path at sometime. Like the little snail, sure but steady is the only way to proceed. A wonderful card to encourage another.

As a matter of fact, I have really hit a brick wall. Your caption caught my eye immediately, Sabrina. Your card is delightful with that brick EF on the side. Sweet little creature crawling on the bottom, too. Great CAS style.
