The Karma Garage write up
Here's a picture of where I just had my very first Tahi yoga message yesterday. It's at a place called, The Karma Garage. Be sure to check out her blog. Shes a very inspirational writer too. It'll be a very cool read. My good friend Val is a Omyoga certified, Tahi yoga massage trained, physical therapy licensed. I've never had a Tahi yoga message before and it was so Great. I felt very relaxed, which I needed to feel very badly. I really just wanted to fall asleep but I had to drive home first.To take time for ourselves is very rare. I totally recommend doing it for yourself more. I just may have to. Thanks Val

This was done for todays sketch challenge 169 on splitcoaststampers.com I've been on a roll with getting my mothers day cards done and it's even early. I've been really getting into customizing. I've been loving this lovely letters alphabet. Don't you think It's perfect for monogramming. The F stands for FAY. This card matches a clear envelope brag book I'm giving her too.
I flipped the sketch so I could use the Happy Mothers day stamp. I also dug out my houndstooth Background set. Wow it's been a very long time since I've used that. I thought it went with the designer paper I used. Again what do you think?
Here's the link for the Sketch challenge.

Stamps: Lovely letters, all Holidays, houndstooth background stamp.
Inks: Chocolate chip marker for the swirls in happy mothers day, ,groovy guava, brown stazon, always artichoke marker for the leaves in the F.

Accessories: Fire gem brags from SU, Scallop circle punch, 1 1/4 & 1 3/4 circle punches, white gel pen, stickles for the center of the o in mothers.
