I'm so honoured to have been asked by my sweet, talented (and fellow Canadian *yayy*) friend, Tracey McNeely, from In My Creative Opinion fame, to guest design for Inspired By All The Little Things Challenge #41! If the invitation alone wasn't enough to set my spirits soaring, the inspiration photo launched me into the stratosphere! Perfect for my CAS-loving heart....
Speaking of hearts....that's precisely the direction I went! Please welcome my Concord and 9th Heart Strings (again...complete besotted with it!) a la shaker style. Using mini beads ensured I captured all the colours in the photo. I'm thinking I need a set of those candles to match my card...
In addition to the thrill of designing alongside the Inspired By team - whose takes on this photo will leave you breathless - I also had opportunity to answer some interview questions. If you've followed me for a while, you're already familiar with these 'bits and pieces'; if not, well...I hope you enjoy the snippets of who 'just me: c' is.
Thank you sooooo much, Tracey, for this wonderful opportunity! Looking forward to seeing everyone's creations in the gallery!
