Comforts of Home

Laughter
A favorite throw for naps
Tears
Sun streaming through windows with tiny cat nose prints
The accomplishment and beauty of cleaning
Shared secrets, fears, frustrations, dreams
Baking cookies
A sad movie or funny sitcom
No make-up
A cat curled up in a lap
Memories of a mother's love

These thoughts were prompted by The Shabby Tea Room's Challenge: " Using this photo for inspiration, create a card or project that shows us what your 'Comforts of Home' are! "


I think the vintage image  on this card captures the comfort of home---- happiness and love.

Unfortunately, I did not record the source for this image. But the patterned papers are from K and Company. The card base  and tag are PTI's Vintage Cream.  The sentiment stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia is from Tags for Spring(PTI). The ribbon is from Deb's Simple Treasures.

  11. This is such a beautiful challenge picture Cammie - and I love how you have interpreted it! The kitten picture is adorable, but I love the antique feel you have brought into your card with the crocheted trim and your soft colours. This looks so timeless!
