Sketch Inspiration - Freshly Made Sketches #138
I've already posted the card I made for one of my bestie's daughters who just graduated from college
and has been accepted to Law School
how flippin awesome is that?!
With a little girl and husband to raise, she did that!
And is going to do more :-)
So I thought, "hey, you should do more for her"
a little something to keep giving.
I called my 94 year old father-in-law (yes my hubby was a late in life surprise for them)
I asked him to make her a special pen (yes he still works in his woodshop!)
but this pen isn't made from wood...
Isn't it beautiful?!
I made her a little tag to maybe use as a bookmarker, I don't know if she will or not
A little pick-me-up sentiment for when she starts doubting her self with a "what the heck am I doing" moment that I know she'll have, especially when she's missing her family.
Sentiment - Unity Stamp Co. Each Moment is Success
Flower Stamp - Unity Stamp Co. Wild Poppy Silhouette

Butterfly - UmWowStudio Nature Walk Butterfly (I covered it with Zing embossing powder in 3 colors before melting it - these are So Much Fun!)
threw on some dew drops, a bit of twine & some seam binding
Then I tied it all to just a blank dark green cardstock which I wrote her a short note on the back of, it's going postal today
Very pretty and inspirational tag! So cool that your FIL is crafty too and still at it at 92! I like to believe that having a hobby you love keeps you young at heart.
