I'm Contented

This wonderful image from Phindy's Place is called Contentment and it describes my state of mind right now.  The challenge this week at Phindy's Place Challenge Blog is to make a card using one of Phindy's images and do some paper piecing.  When I finished my card, I was quite contented with the result.

By the way, if you don't have a Phindy image and want to enter this challenge, this is a great time to go shopping for one because Phindy is having an End of Summer Sale.  Check out the store for all the details and start shopping.  I can't wait to see your wonderful paper-pieced card.

    Beautiful card Cec, I can see why you would be contented with this card it has a very soothing quality about it. The colours are beautiful together and I love the way you have used your papers to make the flowers. I remember myself rocking my children when they were babies.

    One of my all time favorite images and my, you've done it justice---gorgeous! So very cool the way you used a small scale of the background for the dress. Contentment-life doesn't get much better than that! Enjoy!
