I was disappointed in myself last night as my two h.s. kids had their winter awards night. I was irritated with the coach for not acknowledging my DH who volunteered with the team and with words for my kids that just fell a little short IMHO. At any rate....I found myself being "one of those moms" and though I didn't say anything out loud except to my DH I was ashamed of my attitude. So, today I'm determined to turn my grumpiness in to gratitude and write the coaches thank you notes.
I love today's muted colors-I think this card could work well for any occasion. I love this wheel with just a bit of color added. I also loved Linda's card yesterday where she added watercoloring to her scoring. I scribbled marker on acetate and also worked from ink pad lids (somehow I don't have a Wisteria marker!) with a wet brush to add a bit of color to the Slate stamping. I didn't get a butterfly when I wheeled so I wheeled onto another piece of paper and then colored and fussy cut the butterfly. I also added a bit of shimmer white and glued this butterfly flat for a one layer look. I stamped my sentiment below the scoring.

Good for you! I have athletes, too and it does get frustrating when people don't react the way that we think they should. Gratitude...that's what it's all about. I absolutely love your card. Clean and elegant.

Gorgeous, Gail!!! You really created stunning beauty from your irritation! My card today was also therapy after a VERY difficult phone call. Hugs to you.
