Live Laugh and Love (BLOG CANDY)

Here's a wonderful Sweet Pea image from artist ching-chou kiuk. This lady is called Moon Garden and she is sold seperately or on Plate #124. I love her mystical look as she is staring off and lost in thought. It makes this wonderful saying match her so well."Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me and just be my friend." (Plate #121); I used a wonderful printed sheet of black and white paper to add a little more "noise" to the background of the card. The punch on the left is from Martha Stewart. The beautiful vertical saying comes from the Vertical sayings sheet (Plate #4).

Hope you will have Live Love and Laugh today! This is the last week for the blog candy celebration! Leave a comment on today's posting for the final drawing!! (Sign ups until June 6th midnight est);

Hugs, Holley

    i love this stamp - of course I don't think thre is a ching-chou kiuk image that I don't love :) this card is gorgeous - love that black and white paper! Love that sentiment too - both of them :) Would love to walk beside you as a friend, but seeing as we are a little distant, will just have to be content with cyber hugs :)
