You did create some beauty for sure, that flower is just perfect. Love it. Love the flourish too. x

Mandy, this may be a CAS card, but it is certainly not lacking a thing. Your sunflower is stunning. You colored it expertly.

Thank you for your openness about your struggles with depression. It is a very misunderstood illness.

The fact is, you can be a positive thinking, faith-filled person and still suffer with times of depression.

It is kind of like you are in the middle of enjoying a good swim and suddenly there seem to be weights tied to your legs threatening to pull you under.

I have been on medication for anxiety and depression for about 2 years. I am that positive thinking and faith-filled kind of person. I suspect that you are too.

Thanks ever so much for your kind comments on my blog about the passing of my pet rabbit, Neelix. You are so sweet and thoughtful.

Praying for you to rise to the top today and be filled with joy.

Blessings & a big hug,
Teresa

This really is a bright and cheerful card Mandy, so glad it made you feel a little happier making it.

take care

another gorgeous snippet, sorry to hear about your depression, hope things pick up for you x

Ah, depression - Churchill called it the 'black dog' I believe. A doctor once told me that 'this, too will pass' and 'you will get better' and I hang on to that whenever I'm going through a bad spell. What do you take comfort from? It's just as well we have crafting for therapy :) Your card is just fab - love the daisy peeping out.

Your card is extremely gorgeous!! Thanks so much for joining in this week's fun at Sentimental Sunday's
