A weed is...

Good morning friends! I cannot believe how busy this week has been and how fast it has gone!  At least it is Friday and I get to share with you today!  Today is week #2 of the new sketch from Sketches by Carly.  We are sponsored by Digi Doodle Shop and the winner of will win a $10 gift certificate from them!

We got to pick an image to use from Digi Doodle Shop and yep, I chose this dandelion.  I a specific thought in mind for it but when I went to make that card it did not translate well so I started over again and came up with this card-that I really like.  The sentiment is from Ralph Waldo Emerson and says "A weed is just a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered."  I think that is a little bit like us...we are like weeds with God ever pruning us to turn us into a beautiful plant working for His name. 

Anyway, have a wonderful weekend!  See you soon!

When I saw someone from the design team chose this image, I thought oh my I wouldn't know what to do with that. You really made that dandelion sparkle! :) Hugs, Kel
