Happy Thoughts

We all have moments when life just gets more than we can handle.  This card is for a friend of mine who is just feeling weighed down by life.   It's upside down and she's stressed.  I'm hoping after spending time listening and a card arriving in the mail will really express how much I do care.   I've been there,  we probably all have been there.   Sometimes it's hard to get up when we're feeling knocked down.  I'm confident she's down but not out.   

 This card went perfectly with this week's challenge over at Perfect Sentiments ... "Get Well Without Getting Well".    The sketch is from this week's Freshly Made Sketches.

Supplies:  CTMH Paper Dotty For You,  CTMH Stamps Card Word Puzzle,  Card Chatter - Sympathy,  CTMH Ink Lagoon, Sunset, Pear,  CTMH Pear Button,  CTMH Opaques
