Galaxy Card

Hello... 

We are coming to a close of another year... 2019 seemed to go so fast and yet for me personally it left a lot of heartache. Still, I hope to face the new year with optimism and see what the universe has in store.

It seems fitting that the card I have to share today is a galaxy card


I made this for my friends' daughter... I waited 7 years for my one and only child to come along but my friend had to wait 14 years before she gave birth to a beautiful daughter one New Years Eve 32 years ago... Some things stay as clear as day in your mind and yet remembering what I went into a room for 10 minutes ago is lost Lol!


I just used distress inks, stamped embossed images and a little sparkle ... I have a fascination for the universe and its mysteries. My best friend that I lost a few months ago was educated in the science of many things including quantum physics, not something I could ever wrap my head around, but it was always a joy when we sat and talked about the laws of the universe.... And life really.

I hope the universe will be kind to you in the upcoming year 

Have a wonderful day 

~ Ros ~

Thank you, Ros. I pray the universe is kinder to you, too! Your galaxy card is stunning and your friend will cherish it. Birthing babies is yet another thing that we take for granted if it came easy. I'm glad you were blessed with your wonderful son after waiting for seven years! Hugs, Darnell

Your friend's daughter is lucky to have this gorgeous galaxy card! I wish you a year of many joys, but all we can do is make the most of each day. I often think of the quote I have on a stamp: When it is dark enough men see the stars--Emerson. Love & hugs, Greta

What an extraordinary idea and it seems so fitting seeing the story behind the birth of that child. I hope 2020 started out much more promising for you than 2019 ended...
