    Great interpretation of this sketch, Sesil! I love the combination of papers and the layering, providing both color and depth! Here is but only one of my favorite quotes.
    Shakespeare's character Polonius (Hamlet Act 1, scene 3, 78–82) says to his son:
    "This above all: to thine own self be true//And it must follow, as the night the day//
    Thou canst not then be false to any man."

    Lovely card, my Favorite quote...
    Our family is a circle of strength and love
    Our family
    with every birth and every union the circle grows,
    Our family is a circle of strength
    every crisis faced together
    makes the circle stronger.

    Have fun!

    Love your card, and that flower .... I must learn how to do that! My quote comes from God's Word .. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil.4:13). You have no idea how many times that verse/quote has helped me through sticky situations, by reminding me that my strength comes from God and not myself! I love it.
