A Good Egg!

My husband had a saying for everything! In fact, I have a little notebook full of things he used to say all the time. Just when I think I have written them all down, I remember another. Since our Grandchildren are so young, they may not remember him when they get older. I hope this little book gives them a connection to their wise "Grandpa Mow."
Whenever he spoke about someone that he thought highly of, he would call them "a good egg." Today, this is my good egg. This digi & sentiment, "Eggstra Pretty" was a freebie from Crafting With Deedee's Digis, that I received just for participating in their weekly challenge. Isn't is perfect! So simple & beautiful.
To make my card, I used inspiration from Darsie, one of their talented DT's.
paper- SU! Paisley Petals
leaves- Sizzlits "little leaves"
brad- "Antique Brads" SU!
Crystal Effects, jewelry piece from my stash, Scallop Edge punch, Prima flowers (sponged with ink pads), SU! markers & embossing folder.
I am entering my card @:
Happy Monday Challenge- Easter
Creative Cowgirls- Springtime & Rainy Days
Digis With Attitude- Easter
The Crafty Pad- Spring is in the air

    Such a great idea to write down your husbands adages. A great memorial to his wise words.

    I love the colours you have used on your card, the image matches the papers perfectly.

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful card with us at the Creative Cowgirls Challenge. :-) xx

    Hi Bridget, My mouth dropped open when I saw this card. You are right "a good egg". That is a really wonderful idea what you have done for your grandkids. They will treasure it! You might have to make copies for each of them! I love the blue and yellow color combo for this card and think the butterfly is just beautiful colored that way! Thanks so much for joining us over at the Happy Monday easter challenge. Good luck and enjoy the free image from Deedee this week it really is cute!
    Hugs, Sarah

    such a sweet and moving post Bridget :)

    I think its a wonderful idea to have that book of sayings, and to use them too.

    A good egg - yeah we say that here too :)

    Fabulous colours on this, springlike and fresh, and I love your colouring of the egg!

    This is beautiful, Bridget! Such a refreshing take on an Easter image and card. Way to go 'out of the box' girlfriend!!! Can't wait to see what you can come up with for the Grandpa Mow words of wisdom. I can see you crating a fantastic little book or photo album. Cheers! Lori HMC DT
