January has flown by with lots of hours logged for work, not enough exercise, not enough snow for Utah, and an extreme need for a vacation. What has yours looked like?
I created this card with my cousin in mind. His son was taken from this life from early onset Alzheimer's. One thing you learn at some point is that Life is Not Fair. I love the colors and how this card turned out. Going back to the Forever Greenery DSP, the colors together are just beautiful. The butterflies were inked and blended with sponge daubers and touched up with wink of stella to give them a little shimmer. The sentiment fit perfectly from the Sale A Bration set.

I broke a fingernail, it is so short - below the quick. It hurts. (insert pouty face) Don't you hate when that happens? I have wrapped it in some first aid tape to keep the nail that is left from catching on things.
