Well Tuesday's are new challenges over at Skipping Stones Design and this week we have another inspiration challenge. Here's the inspiration:
And this is the card I made:
I used the Cupcake Cutie stamp set for my card.
And I wanted to remind you (or point it out in case you missed it) that Skipping Stones Design is looking for new designers for their design team! Applications are due THIS Friday, so if you are interested, make sure you get that application in! Here's the information on that.
On a much different note...
I was going to post something on Friday. And then again on Saturday. But frankly...I just didn't have the words. The TV has been constantly reporting on it here. And I admit, Friday, I watched along with the rest of the world...disgusted and shocked. I do feel unsafe. But I also think that was what the gunman probably wanted.
But I am loving all the stories of bravery and sacrifice that are arising from this event. There was 1 guy who did a horrible thing. And like 50 people who did extraordinary things. Their first impulse was to do good...to help.
There's a lot more good in this world than evil. And sometimes, we just need to remind ourselves of that. So I urge you to remember this event in a way that honors those lost....in a way that shows how GREAT this world can be!
That's all.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping in!

Love your card and the take on the inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
This tragedy has made the news here in NY too and I am just sickened by it. I can't even stand looking at the photos of the gunman.
On a lighter note, I love your take on the inspiration piece. Pretty circles and colors.
So sad about CO.... you are probably right.. that is what the man wanted... for us all to fear... my prayers have been non-stop for the victims and their families....
I loveeeeeeeeee your card!! LOVING the colors, the circles and the cupcake!!!!
Very pretty card! My heart goes out to all the families who've lost a loved one.
loving your card, you nailed it!!!!
I loved what you wrote about the CO. tradgedy ~ just makes me sick inside.{hugs} Pam!
what a fun card
Love your card. Great use of Pinterest. It is so hard to watch the news coverage 24-7. I have to watch it in bits here and there. It is just so hard to understand this kind of random aggression. Awful.
I love your card and thank you for writing about the shooting. I haven't had the words to do so. Hugs!
The card is beautiful! Great use of the inspiration!
Lovely card! I still don't have words for the horror in CO.
I love the card! The stitching is awesome. And I still can't wrap my brain around what happened in CO. Hugs.
Your card is gorgeous, such a dreamy color combo!
The tragedy is heartbreaking. The media coverage is taking its toll on me, but I do love how some (like Anderson Cooper) refuse to utter the monster's name. He doesn't deserve the notoriety or fame, the victims do.
Beautiful card! And yes, having lived in Aurora and that being the place where my husband grew up, this one hits hard! I hope you guys are doing well out there!
beautiful card. Love that stitching. My heart goes out to Colorado!
Very cute card!
Good for you for pointing out the positive, it is always there for those who look to see it, far to many of us just look at the bad :) lovely card!!
