These Boots are Made for Walking - AGAIN

Karen N here from Craftily Yours.  It's a Throwback Thursday here at Timeless Twine!  The task is to use a project from the past and re-do it to make it better.  I went back to February 2013 on my blog and found this:


This was a card I made for my son two years ago when he was graduating from boot camp.  He is still proudly serving in the U.S. Army, and I decided to use that same stamp-set (from There She Goes) and use the general lay-out as inspiration.  Here's what I came up with:


I definitely take better pictures now!  haha  I like the re-worked version with the beautiful Timeless Twine in Cherry Red.  It seems more appropriate in red, white and blue.  Those gold and silver stars are from Bella Creationz and should be posted soon in the embellishments section.  

Thanks for going back in time with me today!  Before you go, be sure to "like" the Timeless Twine and Bella Creationz Facebook pages to keep up with all the fun inspiration by the Creative Crew.  Also, be sure to check out all of the fun goodness at the Bella Creationz Etsy Site!  

Craftily yours,

Karen

❤{Choose Happy} ❤

There's so much chaos and noise in this life. It's super easy to get caught up in it. It's easy to feel weighted, heavy, just overall down. You have to choose happy. You have to make the choice to put it all away for a little bit and do something uplifting. We did that. We took the kids to the beach and just enjoyed the day. No pressures, no expectations, just hanging out, the four of us, our little family unit. We have to make the most of these short little lives. It's hard somedays, some days are just a flat out struggle, but as the saying goes, it's up to you to find happiness in each day. Choose  HAPPY❤ even when it's hard.

I created a layout about the beach.  I have so many great pictures of the day. I couldn't wait to scrap them. I used Bubblegum Pink, Lemonade Yellow, Aqua Blue and some awesome sequins...all of which you can pick up at the Etsy Store!

Check back tomorrow for even more fun inspiration!!
