Beauty WIthin ...

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~Author unknown

Good morning!
A while ago I was going through and cleaning up bits of papers that I had stashed here and there … In the mix I found several 5 x 7 pieces I had cut from some scrapbook paper. I had used part of the paper for other projects and these were areas that were perfect for card toppers.

Today I am sharing card 4 that I made


Supplies: 5 x 7 card
Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base)

Thanks for stopping by!

Our Song this fortnight ….

A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
Written by: Mack David, Al Hoffman, Jerry Livingston, David Pack
Lyrics © Walt Disney Music Company
Lyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind.

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're feeling small
Alone in the night you whisper
Thinking no one can hear you at all
You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you

Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true
No matter how you heart is grieving
If you keep up believing
The dream that you wish will come true

My card is inspired by the word Wish

The Outlawz Crash your Stash Challenge: Ribbon Slides

Spiritual age is determined by the acts which make the mornings and evenings of the soul, and not by the motions of the physical globe. The soul should have its own cycles and revolutions, presenting in turn every portion of its existence to the vivifying influence of the great source of light. ~Henry James Slack (1818–1896), The Ministry of the Beautiful, "Conversation IV: Spring-time on the Western Coast," 1850  [Lyulph speaking —tεᖇᖇ¡·g]
