Cool Caribbean Roses

I finally found a little time to stamp today and did this card for the color challenge on SCS. The challenge today was to use the colors Cool Caribbean, Certainly Celery and Elegant Eggplant. The idea for this card actually came to me while I was lolling in the hot tub this morning. I seem to get more ideas and solve all the worlds’ problems in the early mornings – while lolling! If I’m edgy, depressed or just plain ole blah, a few minutes in the hot tub and I’m at peace!

So, this morning while I was contemplating some personal things that have happened over the last month or so, I remembered a phrase that my dad once told me . . . Small minds discuss people, Average minds discuss events, and Great minds discuss ideas. I would like to be able to credit the original author, but I just can’t remember. This is a phrase from an old newspaper clipping that my dad carried in his wallet. He gave it to me to help me get over some hard times, I still have it – just don’t know where at this precise moment. He would not be happy with me! Anyhoo, there are times that I need to remind myself the difference of being small minded or great minded. For the most part, I choose to be of great mind and need to remember that those people who do talk about you in a negative manner are simply being small minded. Here is today’s card – a tribute to my dad (now I hope he quits turning on my living room light)!
