Having a mental block on what to work on and with what to work with. This quarantine and social distancing had finally gotten to me. I felt like I had no more ideas. Of course, I could have picked up my Ornate Garden suite and done something with that set. I love it for so many reasons. Needing to do something else to get the creative juices flowing again. Surfing the internet on wings for some reason I saw this card and I was like well let’s recreate this with what I have in-home since we can not go to the store.
I saw this particular card on Pintrest and I did my best to replicate with items I already had.
This is the card I fell in love with. Click Image to view the blog post about it.
I only had the wings from Spellbinders that I picked up from a craft event that I attended some years ago. I have never really used these dies on cards so to speak. I love wings, they remind me of my heart Donor Diana. I will be sending this beauty to my Donor Mom. I think of her often. She gave when her world was shattering all around her. She has told me that Diana was her best friend, so she decided to give her one more window to look through. Those were the words that were asked of her when her daughter passed away. They will resonate with me for the rest of my life, just as I am sure they will for Irene. At the moment those words were spoken to her, I had a peace that came across me and I knew I would get a heart the next day.
It is Donor awareness month so I will share her story again and again. I am forever grateful for her gift. This is why I stay inside during this time of COVID -19.
Here is an excursion I took to take a picture with some wings painted by a local artist Delanna Jordan here in Statesville. I used it to celebrate Donate Life Month. You can celebrate as well by signing up to be an organ and tissue donor at any time. Click here for information or register at your local DMV.
