The best Sentiment of All!

Before I get to the new challenge and card I just want to say;
Happy Birthday! to my twin Neice (Faith) and Nephew (Kevin) who are 4 years old today!  I plan on spending the entire day with them and my fabulous Sister In Law Laura.  It's going to be another scorcher today . . . but with all the hugs and love I'm gonna get it will feel like heaven!



There is a super special challenge that starts today at Sentimental Sundays!  The challenge is to make the Sentiment the focal point of the project!  How fun and out of the ordinary is that?   I really had to put the brain to the grind stone to come up with a card for this as all of my creations need to be something for anyone!

1.  First starting with the occasion ~ easy enough, WEDDING/ANNIVERSARY. 
2.  Then come up with an extremely appealing color ~ (did you know that "Pink" is a color women can wear
     to bring out the protective side in a man!  Check out my Thought for the Day, you'll love it!
3.  The Sentiment of choice had to be just specific but just general enough to fit either a male or female
     consumer.  


Afterwards, you get this pink and white rose covered NB label shaped card with a LOVEly Sentiment that I enjoyed making and hope you get inspired by!


Don't forget to hop over to for the new challenge and terrific inspiration. It starts today and is sponsored by Raindrop Echo Designs w Whimsy and a freebie Sentiment choice of "MINE"!!  All beautified by my favorite Sentiment maker Ann V!

 INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: (from the attached link)

Men May Like Women in Pink

Most people still think of pink as a feminine, delicate color, the color for little girls. Does that mean women prefer pink? Not necessarily. The color pink and women is likely more of a cultural association than a strong preference. However, this cultural association could mean that pink is not the ideal color for targeting men.
"...when it comes to attracting the opposite sex, women will find that the color pink is a safe bet. While flattering, it also makes then appear vulnerable to men, and brings out a mans protective nature. Women who don’t want to attract a man who sees them as needing to be looked after, may decide to wear the statement color red." — Secrets of Attraction Two: Color
